  • all-in-one plug adaptor. Used to have different ones for US, UK and EU plugs till I found the “all-in-one” kind. Lifesaver

    waterproof backpack- I travel with a carry-on only, so a durable waterproof backpack was a must

    multiple bank cards- I’m unlucky when it comes to ATMs. Had my cards swallowed a few times last week in Vietnam, so I always make sure to have at least 2 per account.

    Are we counting apps too?

    WifiMap- to find spots with fast internet in local cafes/restaurants/hotels/wherever in different parts of the world

    Revolut- used to have a “travel-oriented” card with my local bank back home. Still was overcharged between 8-12% per transaction outside the EU. Switched to Revolut and can’t recommend it enough- fantastic support (chargeback claims on debit cards sorted in 2 days!) and low fees

    Dragonpass/priority pass/lounge access- this is a real blessing if you’re at an airport at least once a month.
