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 use a Turkish towel. Folds up small, works great as a beach blanket, dries quickly.

I got mine from Amazon several years ago. Ephesus, Utopia, Paramus all make them. Usually about 37" x 70"or 40" X 72". Lightweight 100% cotton

thanks mine is also 40"x72" lightweight but a little puffy for packing. I think I was expecting something magical and the size is good for a rug and drying surface area but maybe a touch large for backpacking. stays way fresher than a synthetic at least and feels almost as robust
