The travel insurance I actually recommend — compare plans and cover your trip before you go.

Passport, cards, and cash in one slim RFID pouch. No more airport-floor purse dump.

OBSESSED: A carabiner and a TSA-friendly lock in one. Small peace of mind that clips right on. It's so sturdy.

OBSESSED: Holds just what you need and nothing you don't. Great for hands-free days. Tuck that bad boy into your bra and no one will get it!

OBSESSED: A real blanket for cold gates and red-eyes — because the airline one doesn't count. Get the layover one with the kangaroo pouch, hidden pocket, and foot pouch!

The big one — charges a phone several times over on long travel days.

A little speaker for hotel rooms and hikes when no one is around.

Where I book skip-the-line tickets and the tours I actually want to do.

OBSESSED: Travel gear worth a look.

A one-stop shop for active-travel gear.

OBSESSED: Outdoor gear for the whole family. My favorite sporting goods store!

One adapter that works just about everywhere. No more airport souvenir plugs.

Sandals that go from trail to town without complaint.

Quiet on demand — for planes, thin hotel walls, and snoring travel partners. This solves the problem of needing a clean place to put the earplugs!

Ready-made meals for the busy weeks between trips.

Carry-on sized and structured — it keeps a week of stuff weirdly organized.

Sure you can use it for soap, but I like it for a little waterproof safety pouch with that roll top! Or bar soap that dries through the case — no goopy travel mess.

A hidden layer for your cards and cash, worn under your clothes. Great to attach to a mens belt.

Tough cases for the gear you really can't replace. And literally kindest CEO ever, he makes it worth it.

Snaps onto the back of your phone magsafe and tops it up while you scroll.

Data the second you land — no hunting for a SIM in a foreign airport. (Phone must be unlocked)
