10 Essential Travel Accessories for Smart Travel

1- Packing Cubes

If you are not very good at packing then consider these packing cubes as your savior. These will not only help you pack your stuff neatly but will keep everything organized as well.

I usually pack Nemit’s clothes on one side of my bag but after opening the bag it gets really difficult to keep everything at the same place, it just messes up the whole space.

2- Toiletries Bag

Now that you have organized your clothes & other big stuff, it’s time to pack the smaller things like toiletries. And for that, I would suggest buying a waterproof pouch with multiple pockets. I have been using this one for the last 4 years and it has made our travel packing so convenient.

I keep shower gel, shampoo & conditioner bottles, toothbrushes & toothpaste, comb, soap, shower cap, small sewing kit, and other necessary stuff in it. Once we reach the hotel, I hang this bag inside the bathroom for easy access.

3- Toiletries dispenser bottles

I usually carry the small bottles for shampoo, conditioner & shower gel available in the market. But they do get heavy if the trip is for 3-4 days. I found this set of 3 dispenser bottles really smart to carry only the limited amount of stuff needed for a short vacation.

4- Foldable toothbrush

Another smart thing to carry in your travel bag is this foldable toothbrush. This is quite a practical and sensible product, carry one in your handbag if you are taking a long flight. Or, put it in your toiletries bag with other stuff without worrying about it getting dirty.

5- Make up storage Bag

If you like carrying your makeup & cosmetics products with you while traveling then having a separate cosmetics bag is a great idea. You may also use the toiletries bag for keeping makeup products.

6- First aid kit, one of the must-have travel accessories

It’s an essential kit which you must pack in your travel bag. I carry 2 medical kits, one smaller one in my backpack and a larger one in my suitcase. It is always a good idea to travel well prepared especially if you travel with kids.

Another amazing travel accessory is carrying your own reusable cutlery set. Gradually people are ditching the plastic and turning to natural & biodegradable products. And, I really liked the idea of having your own cutlery set while traveling. This one is the reusable bamboo set.
