FIND YOUR CLOWN SHOES
Comfort matters more than style. As a life-long runner, I have finally found a pair of sneakers that not only feel amazing and comfortable, but also defend against knee issues. Your dogs won’t be barking even after an entire day walking or hiking. Yes, they look a bit goofy and resemble clown-shoes, but they are 100% worth it. Shout-out to New Balance for these amazing kicks with fresh foam!
BRING A BEANIE
Planes are notoriously cold. Find a beanie you love and never pack your carry-on without it!
PACKING CUBES
A serious travel packing game changer! Whether you are backpacking or traveling with a suitcase, packing cubes keep you organized, thus relieving stress during your trip. You can find them at any Target or Walmart.
WARM JACKET
I LOVE THIS JACKET. Sarah Lou approves this message!
RFID BLOCKERS
An absolute necessity for keeping your credit and debit cards safe.
GREAT HEADPHONES
Noise-canceling, comfy, all-around ear headphones to savor your favorite tunes, kick off your clown shoes, and dance like no one's watching!!
HANG UP TOILETRY BAG
Nothing worse than a toiletry bag with a soggy bottom. Check out L.L. Bean's option for a stress-free bathroom experience!
TEA BAGS
Tea has profound health benefits and has been found to defend against cognitive decline, boost memory, lower anxiety and cholesterol. Coffee and alcohol can cause altitude sickness and will leave you feeling jet-lagged. Avoid them and bring 4-5 tea bags that fit easily into your personal item or carry-on. It will do your health wonders. For more travel and brain health hacks, check out: Biohack Your Brain: How to Boost Cognitive Health, Performance & Power by Dr. Kristen Willeumier.

SLEEP MASK
Thin eye-lids. It's a thing! I have them, and I NEED complete darkness when snoozing. That annoying light coming from the hotel's A/C unit? Yup, it keeps me up. Pack your sleep mask and ensure nothing keeps you from resting after a loooooooong day of travel!
EAR PLUGS
For all the heavy snoring, I'd like a remote with a "mute button". Ear plugs are the way! Don't be a hero, spend the $27. Various size plugs included.
