Every time I travel, I come home with a clearer picture of what actually earned its spot in my suitcase. On my most recent trip, there were a handful of things I reached for repeatedly. I’m sharing all nine in case you need ideas for your next trip.

If you’re prepping for an upcoming vacation or just love seeing what actually works in real life, here are the travel essentials I wouldn’t travel without.
