So, what do I pack?
An amateurs answer would be: It depends on the trip.
you could pack like a pro, too.
Amazon
See below for 15travel accessoriesand gear I used in 2024 that I look forward to traveling with in 2025.
Cabeau Evolution S3 Travel Pillow
Amazon
Pillow, passport, wallet, keys.
You know youre obsessed with yourtravel pillowwhen its the first thing you double-check before you leave for the airport.
Amazon
The chin strap and headrest attachments both ensure the pillow stays in place and are game changers, too.
The problem wasnt the mirror: it was dull dollar store tweezers.
The slanted tips mean even the most stubborn hairs come out, and I love that theyre travel-size.
Amazon
They even come with a case.
With three USB-C and two USB-A ports, it supports simultaneous high-speed charging for up to six devices.
Its so convenient that I even use it at home when Im not traveling.
Amazon
It doesnt convert voltage, but it has built-in safety features to keep it from overheating.
Unlike previous models, it has an LCD display that shows battery level and power output.
Baleaf Women’s Fleece-lined Leggings
As Im writing this, Im on aHurtigruten Arctic expedition.
Amazon
Most leggings are no match for Norways winter weather.
Last May, it was my excursion bag while cruising around Croatia.
The padded shoulder straps and chest strap are nice touches that most packable backpacks lack.
Amazon
I also appreciate the two-way zippers and easy-access side pockets (perfect for a water bottle or umbrella).
Its available in nine colors and has nearly 13,000 five-star ratings.
One rave review titled Best thing since ever!
Amazon
I use this now as my carry-on.
Fjallraven High Coast Hip Pack
Im not breaking up with my belovedLululemon Everywhere Belt Bag.
But I have cheated on it with my new Fjallraven High Coast Hip Pack.
Amazon
For starters, Im a huge fan of the vibrant color options.
I reach for this 1.5-liter bag when I need something super compact for sightseeing.
Made of 100 percent recycled nylon, its also waterproof.
Amazon
Super cute and very durable,summed upone satisfied shopper on Amazon.
I take it with me everywhere!
I needed a soft-sided bag that could mold to fit in the planes hold.
Amazon
I dont know how I lived without it.
Currently, Im using one in Norway to pack my bulkyFjallraven Expedition Down Jacketand myCanada Goose puffer vest.
Without this bag, those two items alone would take up my entire suitcase.
BestBuy
I love the double-zipper design and the variety of sizes.
Most recently, I wore it on anMSC Mediterranean Cruisewhere I needed the UPF 80+ sun protection it provides.
While I used theGoPro Hero 12that day, I recently upgraded to the new Hero 13.
Amazon
Its worth the extra money to get an official action camera,declaredone shopper.
Ive bought some off-brand and cheaper action cameras in the past and always run into issues.
Yeti Roadie 48 Wheeled Cooler
My 2024 road trips and camping adventures looked like Yeti commercials.
REI
Im obsessed with Yeti gear, especially this highly-rated cooler with wheels.
The ice they had inside lasted an entire week.
Plus, they have pockets and last for multiple seasons (which is great given their price).
Amazon
It also features built-in organization, so I can get away without using packing cubes.
They were so comfortable that I ended up wearing them every single day of my 14-day vacation.
