8 products that make travelling a breeze

It’s amazing how a little piece of travel gear can make such a significant difference to your trip. Here are eight items you shouldn’t leave home without.

1. Lightweight rolling luggage– some of these items might seem expensive but when you notice how easy it is to move you lightweight rolling luggage around airport terminals you’ll agree it’s well worth the investment.

2. Small travel kit – when you’re away you’re going to need a place to put your important documents, keys and any other essentials like medication. This is why it’s important to invest in a small, easy to carry travel kit that will ensure all of your items are safely housed and easy to carry.

3. Compression socks – deep vein thrombosis is a very serious issue, so it pays to invest in a set of proper fitting compression socks to keep the circulation going in your legs and feet. Make sure you take the time to stand up and walk up and down the aisle about once an hour as well. 

4. Neck pillow – a stiff neck can get a trip off to a really poor start. Make sure you’re ready for long rides on any plane or bus by getting yourself a comfortable neck pillow to have some rest.

5. Folding cane with seat attachment – these handy devices can make those longs walks you have to do while travelling so much easier and can provide much relief while waiting in long lines.

6. Small, lightweight knapsack – for day activities where you only need to carry water, camera, rain jacket/sweater, snacks and keeping souvenirs a small, lightweight knapsack is very handy.

7. Attachable eyeglass case – the last thing you want to happen when you’re headed overseas is losing or snapping your glasses. Ensure that this fate won’t befall you with an attachable eyeglass case.

8. Refillable water bottle – this one might seem obvious but you’d be surprised at how many people waste money by buying bottled water. Just bring a refillable one and top it up when you need.
