Sony WH-1000XM4 Noise Canceling Headphones
Wow - these are great over-ear headphones! You might think that Bose Quiet Comfort are? Yes, they are awesome, but these are incredible. 30 hour battery life. The newer model is even better, but these are outstanding.

WETCAT Turkish Towel
Absorbent, soft, easy to pack, and comes in nice colors. ;) They're large, too, unlike some expensive high-tech travel towels. Great for the beach!

I shopped a lot to find a slim passport holder that has a wallet, pen, and RFID. This one is a winner! It's perfect and not bulky.

Allett Travel Wallet Passport Holder
I ordered this and returned it because my double thick passport does not fit in it. BUT if I had a single sized passport, I would LOVE this It's thin, well made, has a pen slot and places for 2 paper currencies. It's VERY expensive though and you have to buy the pen separately! Honestly even a single passport barely fits.

Allett Micro Pen
This is the expensive pen to go in your expensive passport holder. LOL And yes, I'm including it all here because I really do love it and the only reason I returned it is because y fat passport didn't fit.

Havaianas Core Flip Flops
A great solid flip-flop. These have taken me around the world in many a color. They have a nice thick base and hold up really well.

Travelon Braided Clothesline
With the braided laundry line, you don't need clothespins. You just stuff a corner of your garment in the braid. I don't use the suction cups (just leave those at home). You can almost always find a place to hang this either in your room our outside. I just loop the hook back onto the clothesline to attach it to something.

BUG BITE THING Suction Tool
It's so simple and I swear effective! I was given one as a gift, tried it on multiple people in the jungles of Costa Rica, and they all ended up buying them! We were amazed! Bug Bite Thing is a suction tool that alleviates the itching, stinging, and swelling from bug bites and stings. How? It extracts the insect saliva/venom left behind under the skin. When you remove the irritant, your body stops producing the reaction. A chemical-free solution for bites and stings? It’s a thing!

Wet Go Green Mini Detangler Brush
I keep it pretty simple but I do have my preference of these inexpensive purse-sized brushes. I actually didn't have high hopes for this one because of its flimsy bristles and because the larger brushes I bought broke immediately, but it's great and gets through my long curly hair no problem!

Goody Ouchless Forever Hair Elastics
No-damage hair ties?! Yep, these are pretty comfortable, stay in your hair, and don't rip or damage your hair when you take them out. Great hair bands in black.

Sherpani Rogue Mini Crossbody Bag
I don't own this but it looks pretty good and I might have to try this one next. I like having a small purse for travel to carry only the essentials and Sherpani is a good brand. This little bag looks just right!

Bali Comfort Revolution EasyLite Bra
This is the next "comfy pull over wear all day" bra I'm going to try. Great on price and reviews this seems similar to the ones I already love (also listed on my site). Moisture wicking, it should dry in a flash. Bali bras are a good brand so I think these are safe bet. These bras are not big on support and only last so long since they are glued, not sewn.

baleaf Womens Cuffed Travel Pants
I really like these. They hold their shape and look like real slacks rather than travel pants. The fabric is a bit shiny and the waist is pretty tight but they fit my curves well. They are an ankle pant on me at 5'6"

baleaf Womens Travel Pants
I don't have this style yet, but I will. The cuffed pant: They hold their shape and look like real slacks rather than travel pants. The fabric is a bit shiny and the waist is pretty tight but they fit my curves well. Reviews say they don't fit petit.

Ripskirt Hawaii Length 1
The lightweight quick-dry fabric is great, and with the velcro closure, you have some leeway in how much ice cream you eat. I don't like that they put the rough side of the velcro facing out so that it might snag my shirt, but all in all, if you can get one on sale, it's an okay travel skirt with a flirty pleat on the back. I like the short skirt, but the long skirt made me sweat a lot. They come in 4 different lengths.

Wise Owl Outfitters Hammock
I'm a hammock junkie. I take one with me traveling when I can spare the extra room and weight, so having a strong but lightweight one is so important. I've learned to tie a good knot around a tree, but I sure do love having these easy straps, too! And yep, I like having the fun colors to choose from!

The Friendly Swede Partial Zip Travel Sheet
This travel sheet comes in polyester (ultralight) or microfiber depending on what type of feel you want. It DOES NOT fit my criteria of having an all-around zipper, but it does have a full-length zipper. 41" wide, 47" wide XL
CON: The pillow pocket is in front. Not full zip.
PRO: Zips from inside or outside of the bag. It gets good reviews, comes in regular or XL, packs down pretty small, and weighs in at only 9.17oz. Good for an inexpensive travel sheet.
JAICOM Full Zip Travel Sheet
This wicking travel sheet fits my criteria of having an all-around zipper and a back pillow pocket. I like being able to open it up all the way to make a flat sheet. 35.4" wide.
CON: Weighs in at a non-impressive 18 oz.
PRO: Zips from both ends, allowing you to stick your feet out. Zips from inside or outside of the bag. Has a back pillow pocket. Comes in a many colors. Inexpensive travel sheet.
Browint XL Full Zip Travel Sheet
This travel sheet fits my criteria of having an all-around zipper and a back pillow pocket. I like being able to open it up all the way to make a flat sheet. 41" wide.
CON: Zipper is one-sided. It's a little heavy at 15.7 oz.
PRO: Zips from both ends, allowing you to stick your feet out. Has a back pillow pocket. Seems good for an inexpensive larger travel sheet.
Other Great Picks
LifeStraw Go Series Water Filter Bottle
I've done a lot of research as to which devices to use with sketchy drinking water. This water bottle is great for the money and should keep you safe in most situations cleaning out parasites, bacteria, microplastics, turbidity, and chlorine, but not metals, chemicals, or viruses. It's a little slow to drink out of, the filter takes up a lot of the water space, and make sure to open the bottom first after pressurizing. ;) Also check out the Grayl

Collapsible Pour Over Coffee Dripper
Die hard coffee drinker? This might be your never-leave-home-without-it travel item. Not the prettiest thing in the world, but it collapses flat! All you need is a filter (get a reusable one?), your favorite local grounds, and some hot H20, ... okay and a cup (see my packable flat cups!). Some gals in my travel group can't say enough about this.

Foot Hammock For Airplane
Let me tell you, they are a game changer for me! They make the flight so much more conformable. There is some controversy over these as to whether or not they bother the person in front of you (they don't if you use them properly) or if they are allowed (I have never had an issue). The ones that are more compact don't have a solid bottom so your feet slide to the middle. Decide which is more important to you.

Luggage Scale
I can't tell you how many times this has come in handy! I don't always travel with mine, but I use it at home all the time. So much easier than trying to weigh myself, then weigh myself holding my luggage (while trying to see my weight while holding the bag?! LOL). Don't think twice, just buy it.

baleaf Tie Front Wrap Shrug 3/4 Sleeve
OMG finally it exists! A lightweight performance fabric cardigan cover shrug. This is so cool and lightweight that I could live in it. I ordered quite few colors, also in long sleeve . Great for covering up from the sun, being modest to go into temples, or fending off mosquitoes in the evening. This one has buttons and is not nearly as frumpy as the photos!

Blue Lizard Sport SPF 50+ Reef Safe Sunscreen
This is one of your more solid bets as far as longer lasting sport reef-safe sunscreens. It does come in a travel size 3 oz bottle so you'll be paying a little more per ounce for this one. But it is free of oxybenzone and no octinoxate, so it's reef safe. One cool thing is that the lid is a special plastic that changes color in UV rays so you know when you need to apply sunscreen!

Shacke RFID Money Belt
I've researched a lot of different money belts. Everyone has their different taste in what type they like. I find some men prefer this type that hooks onto your belt and hangs down your leg inside your pant leg. Lewis N. Clark makes one, but this one seems superior to others in features and construction.
