It’s that time of year again; for every influencer to post their favorite Amazon travel products (and products in general) for “Prime Day” so you can get discounts and we can get our commission for the hard work we put into making these posts!
Clicking our Amazon links costs $0 extra for you, but helps support us a tiny bit (we only get a few dollars per purchase usually), so if you’re going to buy something from Amazon, please use your favorite travel creator’s links!
Below are only the items that I actually use as a full time world traveler, or the things I want and am probably going to order!

Samsonite Hardshell Luggage
I should honestly be the poster child for Samsonite considering how many countries I’ve dragged their suitcases through. It’s the only brand that has yet to break for me and my last one survived for about five years and probably over 100 countries!
Country Stickers for Luggage
Just in case you want to show off where you’ve been, you can get these vinyl country flag stickers for your hardshell suitcase! They’re missing a couple of the lesser known ones, but it still looks cool!!
Travel Compression Bags
I cannot travel without these things. I’m not even joking, it gives me anxiety to not have them! Perhaps because I’m awful at folding or doing the rolling method. Perhaps because my outfits range from enormous flowing dresses to string bikinis. But the only way I can keep everything organized, and fit more than normal, are with these travel compression bags.
You do NOT need a vacuum for them. You simply put the clothes inside and roll the air out! Watch my full tutorial here!
TRTL Neck Pillow
I’m not fully sure if it’s my unique ability to sleep on flights, or if this thing has a trigger point, or if it’s just a really smart design, but the second I put this neck pillow on, I am out. It’s really amazing. And way less bulky than regular neck pillows.
Pixie Cup (Menstrual Cup)
Probably TMI but I have not use a single tampon or pad in over six years. A fellow blogger enlightened me to the amazingness of menstrual cups while we were teaching a bootcamp in Bali, and hearing her rave about it made me try it out. I haven’t looked back ever since!
Menstural cups are awkward to learn how to put in and take out, but once you get the hang of it, they’re so worth it. The one I linked includes a cleaning kit as well, for those wondering/worrying about that!
Check out my full blog post about them, how they work, and how to use them!
Toiletry, Medicine, Makeup, and Jewelry Organizer (My Invention)
Ok hear me out for this one. As I mentioned, I’m a full time traveler, meaning I live out of my suitcase. I hate having multiple bags for different things, so I was at my mom’s house one day and noticed she had used this desktop organizer for jewelry instead of office supplies. I thought, “GENIUS!!”
So I got one and put my face and teeth toiletries in one drawer, my hair products in another, jewelry in another, and a mini-pharmacy in another. This not only keeps me organized, but it keeps me from overpacking! I only carry what I need! I tie it shut with a ribbon, and it fits easily in my checked luggage!
Cross Body Phone Purse
Although I usually have to also carry a bigger bag with my camera gear on it, I always have a small cross body for my important items. I put my phone, one credit and debit card (the others I hide), some cash, lipgloss, and keys to wherever I’m staying. If I’m flying, I also put my passport in it for easy access.
Be sure to be extra careful with your phone if it shows though. Trust me, I learned the hard way how phone thieves steal…check out my post, “I Accidentally Dated A Phone Thief; Here’s How They Operate”.
Selfie Stick With Tripod Foot
I’ve been using a selfie stick with tripod foot for over 9 years now to capture my own photos in over 125 countries. If you want photos of yourself, get one! Usually mine is pink but it recently broke in Antarctica. If you find one on Amazon while shopping, please let me know!
Here’s a post on how I pair a gopro to my phone and use a selfie stick to take all of my own photos!
Pocket Gimble Camera
Currently one of my favorite cameras, and highly recommended for travel! It’s small size makes it extremely convenient, and it packs a 4k camera on an attached gimble, which makes smooth, professional looking videos! It also takes photos!
Mini Drone (My “Dronita”)
One of the easiest drones to fly and to fly with! This mini drone by DJI is under 5 grams, making it lightweight and low key undetectable by airport security. It’s extremely easy to learn how to fly, and takes 4k videos and photos!
Secretly Heavy “Personal Item” Bag
My “personal item” bag on flights usually ends up weighing ten pounds or more because of my laptop and cameras. So carrying it results in some amazing arm and back muscles, but a lot of pain. I don’t have this, but I will be ordering it, so I can wheel my office around instead of carry it!
Dog Carrier with Wheels
Just in case anyone else here takes their small pet traveling everywhere; I’d highly recommend a carrier like this one. Especially if your fur baby is as chonky as mine. Most are airline size approved and the wheels are detachable so you can easily fit the carrier under your seat!
Your Pet on a Pillow
Not the most typical travel product, but it’s one I always travel with unless I’m traveling with my actual dog. It’s not the most practical to pack, but usually I end up shoving it at the top of my purse or strapping it to the front of my carry-on.
I use it as a pillow at hotels and on the plane, and it makes me miss my pup less, plus is hilarious to watch everyone think it’s my actual dog!
Collapsible Backpack
I’m usually not a backpack kind of gal, but I am a randomly-finds-waterfall-hike kinda gal, which is when something like this comes in handy. It also comes in handy when I end up buying more than I should have…
Collapsible Raincoat
Because I hate constantly buying umbrellas then having to leave them behind, I now just travel with a very small collapsible raincoat. Also doubles as a regular jacket in case you randomly forget to check the weather, or find yourself on a freezing plane.
Swim Bag
I see people using these all the time in Barcelona, and I really need to get one. You’d agree if you read my post about accidentally dating a phone thief there.
These are like dry bags, except they make a bubble and come with a strap to attach to yourself while you swim!
Plane Foot Rest
Another flight hack for relaxing or sleeping comfortably on a flight, especially in economy class! These foot rests easily hang from the seat in front of you and convert your cramped space into a lounge chair!
