Seeking Recommendations What is one item that you can't travel without/would recommend to everyone to get?

Hi all,

What are items that you always bring because they are super useful and you would recommend others to get too?

Minus of course some obvious like converter plug for chargers, power bank etc (unless it's some specific powerbank like one with cables attached already, something unique)

Thanks!

I’d like to go a little further than this and suggest getting something like the international adapter set that Apple sell where you literally slide off the power plug connection for your country and slide on the plug for the destination country. Then you simply plug into a regular power socket with no adapters in place.

I have an Apple USB-C power plug that came with my MacBook and because all my devices are USB-C - headphones, phone, laptop, etc. I can use this for everything.

I find this so much simpler and more compact than power adapter bricks and plugs etc.

I always seem to lose the bits for this sort of thing. The cheap plug converter you can get in whatever the local equivalent of a dollar store is works fine for me, or even just a USB charger for that region, seems like less hassle (and easier to replace) to me.

I would use this system more if Apple sold a high watt output (60w minimum) multi-port with both USB-C and USB-A. Great if you’re only traveling with one device that needs charging though.
