From insect repellant to sunscreen, make sure your trip is amazing by having the right items with you - click through now to discover what you need!

SWIMMING & SNORKELING

Hot destinations typically mean you’ll be spending lots of time in the water, like snorkeling in the Galapagos or Bali or just swimming in the warm Caribbean sea on some island off the coast of Colombia.

Steri-Pen Water Purifier

Many of our favorite budget-friendly travel destinations don’t have drinkable tap water, including South America and Southeast Asia. Having a Steri-Pen with you means you won’t need to worry about water during your trip!

Insect Repellant Lotion

Most insect repellents are not worth the unpleasant oily feeling you get after applying them, the icky hacking cough you develop after spraying them, or that skin-burning feeling you get after applying 100000% chemicals to your skin.

Dramamine

Dramamine was our lifeline on the many, many long bus rides (always windy, always through mountains, always speeding) that we took throughout our time backpacking in South America.

Travel Clothesline

This is a super handy tiny little clothesline that is easy to hang up almost anywhere. We bought it initially for laundry purposes, but it’s also really handy whenever we have wet bathing suits or towels that need to be dried.
