Favorite Travel Accessories

We love shopping travel accessories… but we don’t love to waste money. Many of our favorite accessories are under $10! Our general approach is:

  • We avoid super premium brands in favor of solid middle of the road options
  • I LOVE packing cubes – they make packing easy and efficent
  • We almost entirely travel with just a small carry on rolly bag and a backpack

Here are some of our favorites:

Luggage
