Travel Gear I Use and Love
I've ONLY linked the travel clothing and products I use (or have researched and will be buying). I've likely mentioned these items in one of these videos: 16 Small Must-Have Items for Neurodivergent Travelers: Pack Like a Pro!, WHY You Need to Pack with Good Travel Organizers and Containers, and 12 More Travel Must-Haves (Midlife Edition)

NOISE SENSITIVITY
Loop earplugs
I use the Loop Quiet earplugs for sleeping (if white noise isn't an option): https://amzn.to/3AYv66d
I use the Loop Engage Plus to filter out background noise if I am trying to have a conversation: https://amzn.to/4d5coHJ

Apple AirPods Pro (2nd Generation)

Bose QuietComfort Bluetooth Headphones
I have an older model, but they're amazing.
TECH / PRIVACY / E-SIM
NordVPN
A VPN is a must-have when you're traveling abroad or if connecting to insecure wifi.
Saily e-sim
An eSIM is a great option for travelers who don’t want to overpay roaming charges on their mobile, and want to avoid the hassle of purchasing a physical SIM card. Just like a regular SIM card, an eSIM allows you to use data plans of different providers, usually in 30-day packages.

CLOTHING
tops
Everett Hoodie Tunic - been wearing this hoodie in forest green for a year and love it for chilly mornings, travel, and cozying up at night. Also it's very durable; I had a cat insist on making biscuits on it and there's NO snags!
Stella Signature Scoop Neck Tee - loving how soft and comfortable this merino t-shirt is... because its primarily merino, I can get several wears out of it. I have the Aegean teal.
Melanie Ruched V-Neck Tee in the same teal fabric as the scoop neck, but with long sleeves
bottoms
Summit mid-weight Merino leggings from Wool& - been wearing the same black ones for a year now and love them. Like little hugs for my legs.
Foster Kick Flare Ponte Pant from Wool& is stretchy yet still looks good enough for slightly more formal occasions. Mine are the same size as the leggings but Foster fits looser. Heads up, the trouser fabric isn't as soft as the Summit leggings or the shirts.
PERSONAL CARE ITEMS
Solid shampoo & conditioner (I have used and liked both Ethique and Kitsch)
https://amzn.to/3Yv5BU1
Nail polish remover pads (mine are from Boots in the UK or find options here) https://amzn.to/46EQCZx
Dermaplaner (many options!): https://amzn.to/4i6XbcT
Microfiber towel in waterproof bag - mine is the XL DryLite Towel from Sea to Summit - if getting it for yoga make sure it's large enough for you! Mine is 59 inches x 29.5 inches (150 x 75 cm)https://amzn.to/4dA73ZB
Cotton squares (these are similar, or get bamboo which should dry more quickly) https://amzn.to/46D9qs1

Turkish body scrubber / exfoliating glove
