By that metric, Im definitely an expert in travel.

The only problem is that there are literally tens of thousands of products to choose from.

Even stars like Lizzo have been spotted using it.

Cabeau Evolution S3 Airplane Travel Neck Pillow

Amazon

Theres also a chin strap, so the pillow stays around my neck and doesnt slide to one side.

I also love the washable cover and how it packs down to be about half its size.

I dont go anywhere these days without myVenture Pal Backpack, even if its just stashed in my purse.

Venture Pal 40L Lightweight Packable Travel Hiking Backpack

Amazon

Im also a big fan of how compact it is.

It also features a TSA-approved lock, interior accessory pockets, and high-quality zippers.

(I hate when a suitcase is still in great shape, but the zipper breaks.)

GoPro Hero11 Black

Amazon

Currently, it has more than 3,700 perfect five-star ratings and is available in seven colors and several sizes.

Its stainless steel design is not only sleek, but its also durable.

That said, if it happens, Darn Tough will replace them, for free.

Cozy Essentials 12 Pack Vacuum Storage Bags

Amazon

Theyre so warm I recently wore them on a trip to Antarctica.

Olukai Ohana Flip-flops

Comfy shoes are an absolutely essential travel staple.

I love that theyre water-resistant and have a cushioned footbed.

I even wore them on a hike in Costa Rica where there were several creek crossings!

But the best part?

They dont make a flip or flop sound.

Travelpro Platinum Elite Softside Expandable Luggage

Amazon

Not only is it cute hence the kind words from total strangers but its also rated UPF 30.

I dont know the exact science behind the fabric.

All I know is I feel cooler wearing it than I would feel wearing nothing at all.

Amazon Klean Kanteen Insulated Classic

Amazon

Viori Shampoo Bar

I will forever feel indebted to whoever invented shampoo bars.

I can attest that this shampoo also lasts a long time, and Amazon shoppers agree.

I used this bar when traveling for a month overseas, wroteone Amazon shopper.

Darn Tough Merino Wool Boot Sock

Amazon

When not in use, theres a lid that locks.

Yeti Hopper Flip 8 Portable Soft Cooler

Yeti is the Apple of coolers.

I also love it for paddle-boarding, because its waterproof and floats!

OLUKAI Ohana Women’s Beach Sandals

Amazon

This crossbody is also durable, something other Amazon shoppers have found too.

Still, my face pays a price for being in the sun so much.
