βοΈ Do you want to be able to travel carry-on only βοΈ
ππΌ IF YES – you are in luck! ππ»
Here are my go-to toiletry items to help me maximize the space in my suitcase so that I have what I need and am still able to travel carry on only!
**If you make a purchase using the links below, I may receive a small commission for that purchase. Thank you in advance for your support.**
- Sturdy 1 quart travel bag that is very sturdy and has a hook for easy hanging in the bathroom.
- Refillable leak proof containers and various size bottles for toiletries that have worked well for me.
- Eagle Creek Compression Packing Cubes to help maximize my space. I love the various sizes and uses!
- My Briggs and Reilly Global Carry-On Suitcase with expansion and compression technology that is a ππ» GAME ππ»CHANGER ππ» (truly – lifetime guarantee and likely the last suitcase you need to buy!)
- Consider trying non-liquid toiletries as well.
- Schickβs Intuition razors for shaving as it has the shaving cream surrounding the blade (for Sensitive Skin and Nourishing with Cocoa Butter)
- Multi-use products – like my EltaMD day-time face tinted moisturizer with hyaluronic acid and with SPF.
π‘ My recommendations for international travel packing π‘
Travel Adapters:
- Amazon Universal Travel Adapter available for us in the US, UK, and EU and with USB-A and USB-C ports for charging your electronics.
- For hair dryers/stylers and electronic toothbrushes, which all require a higher voltage than the travel adapters for charging electronics, I use this Grounded Adapter Plug while in the EU.
Hair Stylers
Additional items I pack
Pack over the counter (OTC) medications so that I can have some comforts from home if I get sick while traveling
- I make sure to have a small bag of over-the-counter medications (cold/flu medicine, sore throat lozenges, upset stomach, pain reliever, fever reducer) on hand.
- I have been in a pharmacy in a foreign country trying to translate the information on the box while trying to find the best option for something to treat my symptoms and help me feel better as soon as possible so I can return to my travels!
- Being in a pharmacy with Google Translate is not how I want to spend my time. I’d much rather be napping and getting better!
