After 3 years of full-time travel, these are the travel essentials that we would recommend you pack for your next trip. These items are especially good for carry-on travel, but we're traveling with check-in bags at the moment and use these items everyday! Whether your traveling carry-on with a suitcase, check-in with a backpack, or going ultra-minimal, these travel essentials will help your trip go smoothly so you can focus on your destination. We use these travel essentials for our full-time travels, but if we were packing for a vacation, these items would be the first things in our bags. That's why we call them travel essentials - whether you're packing for a year or a week, these are the things we'd suggest you buy for your trip!

Packing for travel can be hard, but once you figure out what travel gear makes your life easier when your going to a new place, packing becomes a less daunting task. As full-time travelers, we actually love packing for a trip and love testing out products to see what will make the cut to stay in our backpacks as we hop from country to country and explore the world. We've ben surprised to see some travel gear stay in our backpacks since day 1, while others have been replaced with updated gear or replaced with the exact same item! When we began traveling in 2021, we traveled with carry-on only, and even then, we carried a variation of all the items included in this travel essentials video (in many cases, the travel essentials in this video have been with us since we started full-time traveling).

If you choose to purchase one of these travel items, we sincerely hope you love them as must as we do! Each of these items makes our lives easier, and we hope the same goes for you :)

======================

Hey there! We are Nicole and Mico and in March 2021, we quit our jobs, sold our belongings, and began traveling the world! We never thought we'd be making travel vlogs on YouTube, but after realizing that we had a unique opportunity to share our adventure and make the world feel more familiar and inviting to anyone watching, we took the leap and picked up the camera! We hope our videos show how wonderful, delicious, and friendly the world can be.

  • Check out that list! Can't wait to see where all of this gear goes! Thanks for traveling with Tripped, Nicole and Mico!
  • Just an odd tip for your Tech Pouch. Put the batteries and electronics in a ZipLoc bag and then into the pouch. All you need is for an errant flood or huge downpour to soak your luggage. But if you encase them with ZipLocs, it's one less worry during a storm.

    I have all the tripped items in your list and have had them for 9 months. Tip for your electronics bag instead of dealing with the leather pull tabs that for me were always falling off. Use a hair tie. My favorite I prefer my Compass Rose compression packing cubes they fit into my suitcase better.
  • I just found your channel and really like your style already! You two are energetic, informative and have a good vibe, so I am a new subscriber! This vlog is helpful and I added a few items to my to buy list. After looking at your previous videos list, I do love how you seem to visit some unique places that not everyone features, but also look forward to hopefully seeing where you go next!
  • The Tripped electronics bag looks great! I have one from a UK department store that is just too heavy for travel... so I shove the cables and battery packs into a pocket on my backpack, which probably isn't the best!!!
  • I (Sabrina) actually just got the exact same water bottle as Nicole! It's such an interesting design and like you said, definitely hard to lose 😂 those eye masks look awesome!! We may need to look into getting some. Thanks for the great video!
  • We leave in just a few hours on another mission trip to the Philippines. We have the packing cubes and tripped toiletry kit and tech kit. Love them. We need to get the matador soap keeper. Thanks for sharing!
  • @wangddah
    Buying the pacsafe paasport wallet and the soap case bc of you guys! I LOVE watching these kind of videos :) Thank you!!!
  • @696969bold
    The Osprey Zip organizer is my absolute favorite. That toiletry bag you showed looks like a knockoff of that. 🤔 Consider using disposable shower caps from the dollar store to cover the soles of your shoes.
  • @Rachel_1983
    I recently got that Matador soap pack and its AMAZING!! Soggy soap is always such a pain to deal with. It felt like a splurge for such a small simple item, but its worth it! Also obssssed with my Owala. A perk is that I can fill it at water refill stations without having to take the lid off! Very convenient
  • What's the breathability like on those shoes? I'm concerned that the waterproof treatment might mean sweat can't get out and your feet don't air in warm places?
  • Great video! I enjoy the tripped backpack as its lightweight and great for everyday use! The tripped gear is awesome. I love it as well! I will have to check out the other brands you mentioned! Have a great one! 😊
  • @ritasmoot1823
    Hey kiddos! I really love y’all. Can’t support monetarily, but, I liked, commented now, watched the adds and clicked the tripped link. 😅. Another good video. I do like the Tripped brand and love merino wool! Safe and happy journey through Central America! Rita
  • Hi Nicole and Mico, the shoebag is great, but make sure you’re shoes are not wet. If they are and they stay without ventilation for too long. The shoes will get mould and you can throw then away. 5:38

    Are the sleep masks good for side sleepers? I don’t love most of the ones I’ve tried.
