Samsonite Freeform Hardside Expandable with Double Spinner Wheels
If you’re going abroad, you’re going to need a durable suitcase (obviously). This suitcase will maximize your packing power and is the ideal checked bag for longer trips. It has a hard shell which makes it better for keeping your travel essentials and all your valuables safe since we know those things can get thrown around during the flight process. And a bonus, it includes a 10-year warranty against defects in materials and workmanship.
MLVOC Travel Pillow – 100% Pure Memory Foam Neck Pillow
Another international travel must-have from Amazon to get through those long-haul flights is a neck pillow. The amount of times I’ve gone on a long flight and ended up with a sore neck and a migraine the next day because I didn’t have one of these is way too many times. This travel pillow has memory foam filler and will help prevent your head from falling forward when you’re trying to rest on those long flights. Highly recommend!
Ceptics World Travel Adapter Kit
This is a no brainer is you’re traveling internationally. You need an adapter, there’s no way around it. This is one of the best I’ve found and the one I use. It includes 6 types of international adapter plugs compatible with outlets in North America, United Kingdom, most of Europe, Australia, Japan, parts of Africa, the Middle East, Asia, China, and more. Clearly, an international travel must-have you need to snag before your trip.
Apple AirTag
This airtag is a game changer. Last year when I went to Portugal I was able to keep track of my luggage while traveling, which made the flight process a lot less stressful. It includes a simple one-tap setup to instantly connect the AirTag with your iPhone or iPad to keep track of your luggage and personal items while traveling. Definitely an international travel must-have!
Travelambo Luggage Tag
When I’m traveling, I get so annoyed at the silly paper travel tags they give you to mark your luggage. These tags are higher quality, durable leather tags that you can write/print your information on. They have a two sided printing information card so you can put two different addresses on the front side and the back side. It also includes a privacy flap to protect your personal information.
BAGSMART Toiletry Bag
If you want a toiletry bag that is compact and won’t take up much space in your suitcase while traveling, this bag is a must! It has 4 separate compartments to easily store all your toiletries in which makes packing so much easier. Another part of it I love is that it is well-padded to help prevent makeup from breaking. It comes in multiple different colors/patterns too!
Apple AirPods (2nd Generation) Wireless Ear Buds
There’s no way anyone is getting through a 6+ hour international flight without a pair of high quality headphones. While I love bigger headphones, they’re just not super practical for traveling since they take up more space. AirPods are definitely the way to go if you want to stay entertained for those long flights or tune out the noise in your hotel or hostel when you get to your destination. Clearly an international travel essential!
BAGAIL 8 Set Packing Cubes Luggage Packing Organizers
These will make packing for an international trip so much easier! I always find that if I don’t use packing cubes, by the time I have to leave my destination, all my stuff is unorganized and difficult to fit back in my suitcase. These are spacious and are made of super light fabric to make packing easier, without adding extra weight. They’re great for storing all your travel accessories like clothes, shoes, makeup, and more.
Travel Makeup Brush Holder
Next on the list of international travel essentials is this travel makeup brush holder. And honestly, it’s pretty game changing! It easily fits in your handbag or suitcase while traveling and is easy to wash. Additionally, it makes storing all your makeup brushes,lipstick, eye shadow, toothbrushes, pencils, and more so much easier.
Somiliss Sneakers for Women
I absolutely love my pair of these. I bought them before going to Portugal last year and they are so cute and surprisingly very comfortable. And that’s saying a lot because if you’ve been to Portugal you know it’s basically all hills. They’re a great alternative to your classic athletic sneaker since that’s a fashion no-no over in Europe. But even if you’re not going to Europe, these shoes are chic and comfy for long travel days.
Hydro Flask Stainless Steel Wide Mouth Water Bottle
You will not want to board a long flight without a water bottle. This hydro flask keeps my water cold the whole day or hot if I’m having tea and fits easily into my carry on to fill up after passing through TSA. There’s no question it’s an international travel must-have to stay hydrated on those long travel days!
PASCACOO Airtag Passport Holder Cover Wallet
This Apple airtag passport holder helps protect your passport during travel and keeps all your credit cards, ID, cash, etc. all in one place. It made me feel a lot more comfortable having all my important documents in it when I used this while traveling last year. It’s important to note that the passport holder has an airtag slot, it doesn’t actually come with an airtag which is why I listed that separately on this international travel essentials roundup.
INICAT Small Sling Bag
If you’re traveling internationally, chances are you’ll be walking a lot and exploring new cities and sites all day. You likely won’t have a ton of time to go back to your accomodation to grab things like cash, your card, ID, etc. This crossbody fanny pack has two zip pockets and inside has card slots so you can easily store credit cards, keys, your passport, cash, and other small items in the front pocket. I always carry mine whenever I’m out and about while traveling. It’s available in multiple colors too.
MZOO Sleep Eye Mask
If you want to avoid jet lag, you’re going to need to find a way to sleep on those long international flights. This memory foam eye mask fits pretty much every size head and will block light while trying to sleep. It makes it so much easier to rest and fall asleep during long flights!
Yogasleep Hushh Portable White Noise Sound Machine
I’ve fallen asleep using a white noise machine for so long, I honestly don’t think I could sleep without one at this point. Not to mention when you’re traveling abroad, you sometimes have no idea until you get to your destination how much outside noise there will be at the place you’re staying. This white noise machine can make it a lot easier to fall and stay asleep while traveling and drown out any background noises.
4 Pack Travel Toothbrush Case
This international travel item is so simple yet essential if you don’t want your toothbrush to be rolling around in your toiletry bag or to get any cosmetics or gunk on it. It just keeps it so much more sanitary when you’re traveling, making it a no-brainer to purchase before going on your trip abroad.
Travel Bottles for Toiletries, Tsa Approved
When I saw these I was kind of mad I didn’t get them for my last trip, considering my shampoo spilled in my toiletry bag when I used a cheap plastic container to store it in instead of these. These silicone travel bottles are perfect for storing shampoo, conditioner, shower gel, lotion, hand sanitizer, and shower gel, and they’re TSA approved. They’re also leak proof (*applause for that) and will keep all your travel liquids firmly sealed to protect your luggage and clothing.
JISULIFE Handheld Mini Fan
If you’re traveling in spring or summer, you’re not going to want to skip out on this. This handheld mini fan is so light and easy to travel with. It’s perfect to take with you when site seeing or even to bring with you while lounging at the beach. Bonus, it says it has 12-19 hours cooling time on a single charge.
KODAK Printomatic Digital Instant Print Camera
If you want to capture all your travel adventures and easily print them out, this Kodak camera is perfect for that. The photo prints are durable, water-resistant, tear resistant, and smudge-free to capture all your travel photos. That way, when you get back you can hang them, frame them, or put them in a travel scrapbook to remember all your adventures.
These Amazon international travel essentials will help make packing easy, keep you organized during your trip abroad, and help you make the most of your travel experience.
