Finding what you need whenever you are away from home can be less stressful if you organize your travel essentials consistently. Items such as your passport, boarding pass and airline tickets, as well as some other forms of identification and your credit cards, can all go together in a passport wallet. Depending on the type of materials used, a passport wallet can be inexpensive or quite pricey, such as a cashmere travel organizer.
Disposable underwear can be very useful, especially if you are planning a trip longer than one week. Create extra luggage space for your trip home by packing disposable underwear (if you are not fond of doing your laundry while traveling), which are relatively inexpensive. Get yourself some heavy-duty winter socks such as HeatGear's Draft Men's running socks, which have a left and right foot fitting and draws away sweat from your sole's skin. This type of socks is great if you are expecting heavy hiking or skiing in the snow.
RFID passport holders block out external transmissions that can potentially read the data from your electronic passport. Rounded or pear-shaped luggage tags prevent your tags from getting caught in someone else's stuff. Select those that come in leather or heavy-duty plastic so that they will not easily snap off in case of some conveyor belt traffic situation.
Digital luggage weighing scales can help you save on costs of excess luggage fees at the airport. Hand-powered UV water purifiers can help you ensure that the tap water you are drinking is safe, especially if there's no convenience store nearby where you can buy bottled water. Another helpful item is a universal travel adapter, which helps you plug into virtually any type of wall plug that you may encounter while traveling. Or relieve your stressed muscles while traveling by getting a battery-powered mini massage device.
