My Top 10 Travel Essentials

My friend and super travel bug Malou over at Skip to Malou recently posted her Top 10 Travel Essentials and I thought it might be fun to do my own. I mean some things are standard Travel essentials: cameras, ipods, etc but there are some things I literally do not board a plane without, especially on those trans-Atlantic flights I used to take between home and University in the UK. I won’t be making that trek any time in the near future but I still love thinking about travelling, and how I used to prepare for my long haul and EU trips (mostly to Holland). Find my top ten travel necessities below.




1. Travel Necessities: Sleep Mask, Earplugs, Neck Pillow 2. Travel Adapter – indispensable for travelling through Europe 3. Comfortable attire: Leggings or Jeggings & Cardigan 4. My usual choice of travel bag is the spacious Cole Haan Denney 5. Kindle to cut down on the bulk of books 6. Magazines – nothing distracts from turbulence like fashion on glossy paper 7. Blackberry Torch – must remember to turn my roaming on 8. Camera: depending on my destination either my Canon Rebel XTi or my more compact Canon Powershot 9. iTouch – for the occasional music and ‘Guess the Flag’ game 10. Comfortable shoes that are easy to slip off and on – flats or TOMS
