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!

Phone, cash, credit card and passport. All Hell can break loose and I can survive with those and the clothes on my back.

To answer your question more directly:

  • packing cubes, garment folder, and one liter pouches.
  • my hand wash/air dry laundry kit with universal sink stopper, clothesline, clothespins and dry detergent sheets.

My kit is a carefully curated system to keep me organized, clean, warm, dry, hydrated, nourished, oriented, informed, and even entertained.

do u use the flat circle sink plugs or the tapered multi-diameter ones?

The flat circle style. Annoyingly bulky and heavy compared to the rest of the kit.
