So whats my secret?
Here are my 16 travel must-haves for packing a carry-on starting from just $5.
Plus, they make organizing your suitcase that much easier.

Plus, gone are the days of worrying about not having enough sink space in a tiny hotel bathroom.
Just hang the swivel hook from a towel rack or door hook and youre good to go.
Did I mention the inside pockets are a waterproof TPU material?
Amazon
It has plenty of pockets both on the outside and inside for organizing all those little extras.
And for some international airlines, that weight limit isnt very high.
These are also very comfy and didnt give me any blisters when I walked over 50,000 steps in Italy.

Depoza Leak-proof Silicone Squeezable Travel Bottles Set
One of the easiest and most obvious space-saving packing hacks?
Never pack full bottles or jars of your toiletries, skincare, or makeup.
Those thick sweaters and ski jackets will flatten right out giving you tons of extra space.

Just snap one onto your purse or roller bag handle.
