I'm off to New Zealand on an exciting reconnaissance trip. Come along for the ride and let me know in the comments if you have any specific questions about rugged and breathtaking Aotearoa. ✈️ First things first: What are my top 5 must-bring travel items? I never leave home without: Carry On 🧳: I only pack a carry on, but if you need to check in a suitcase, remember to pack an extra change of clothes in your carry on! Day Pack 🎒: In addition to my roll-aboard, a small backpack that doubles as a day pack is one of my fave travel hacks. You get the best of portability and functionality while ensuring everything you need remains at your fingertips. Universal Power Adapter 🔌: Don’t leave home without this travel essential! I stash one in my carry-on to ensure adapting my electronics is always a cinch. (Hint: Opt for one with plenty of USB and USB-C plug-ins.) Power bank📱: Taking hundreds of photos and videos each day is tough on your devices’ batteries. A power bank is a must-have (or maybe I need to upgrade my phone? 😉) A scarf or sweater 🧣: Always useful in case an extra layer is needed on the plane or for unpredictable weather.   What are your travel essentials?
