You NEED To Pack These 5 Travel Essentials
Hello beautiful people,
Thanks for reading my blog. It’s very mindful of you. If you are new here - welcome! This is a space to discuss all things travel and experiences from all over the world.
I get a lot of questions about what I pack for most of my trips overseas, specifically for Greece. In two weeks I will head back to Greece for the 8th time (I know, it’s such a tough life) and so I thought I would put this list of 5 TRAVEL ESSENTIALS THAT YOU NEED TO PACK FOR YOUR NEXT TRIP.
1. SOL + SONDER SOLAR WALLET
Gone are the days of bulky power banks that take forever to charge and never fit properly in your bag. If you want to upgrade your charging game then check out Sol + Sonder’s Solar Wallet. With storage compartments, a passport holder and solar powered charger, this is your go-to for a sleek travel. And don’t stress if there is no sun, this power bank can be charged normally too. But how convenient is it that when you’re phone dies down by the beach then you have a charger right there. We are all about practical travel.
2. BRIGHT SWIMWEAR
No not bright (as in everything needs to be bright), I mean THE Bright Swimwear. But to be honest, their swimwear does match the name. If it is your mission to be tanned, soaking up the sun and all eyes on you - then this swimwear is the one. It’s comfortable, sexy and will make your Instagram pics pop. #hotgirlsummer we’re coming for you.
Get summer ready with Bright Swimwear.
3. ANTLER LUGGAGE
I have been super impressed with my Antler Luggage. I purchased the medium size grey suitcase before heading to Hong Kong in 2018 and it has completely shocked me with how durable and reliable it is. It has been tested against the elements - including budget Scoot flights, 8hr ferries in Greece, dodgy hostels and thrown on top of a Mumbai taxi. Loved the medium one so much, I also got the smaller pink one too. I dare you to find me better luggage.
4. FLASHBACK CAMERA
My brother always gives the best birthday gifts and this year’s was amazing. This start-up company called Flashback was producing a rechargeable disposable camera (yes, you heard that right!). With three filters to choose from, the camera allows you to take 27 shots before you unload it to the app and wait 24 hours for it to “develop” on the app. Saving time and money on getting film developed. This is a genius idea for those who are rookie’s with film camera’s and just wanna have some fun and easily capture some memories. Have a look below to see the memories captured on my Flashback camera.

5. QUICK DRY TOWEL
Absolutely everybody in the whole wide world needs to take a quick dry towel on their trips. Doesn’t matter if you are staying in hostels, swimming at the beach or climbing Mt Everest - you will benefit from having one. I usually purchase a medium size one from Kathmandu here: https://www.kathmandu.com.au
So there’s my list of 5 travel essentials you need to pack for your next trip away. I will be sure to have these in my bag ready for the next adventure!
