Fashion
The first thing I think about after booking a trip is, “BUT WHAT WILL I WEAR?!” If I am not renting my clothing for the trip, I set aside a budget for what I can spend there and then pick up a couple things from home that I know I will need. Here’s what I would get if I were you…
Sunnies- I am absolutely obsessed with colored lenses at the moment and always get compliments on these
Shoes- I am all about fashion and will never just wear sneaks. Check out my amazon fashion list for all the most comfy and chic shoes to travel with.
Luggage Belt- I get so annoyed when my tote or purse keeps falling off the top of my carry on. This solves that issue with class. A Shark Tank favorite.
Gold Earrings- 14k baby not the 24k (leave your expensive stuff at home). Keep them and all your precious gems in a chic AF, velvet box like this one.
Matching sets- I love a linen set, here’s one I have on my wishlist, or this Free People inspired slouchy set for the plane ride
Blanket Scarf- My favorite airport necessity for us cold girls. Doubles as a pillow or make do eye mask lol. Those blankets they give you don’t do shit.
Safety
Everyone always is so scared for you when you first tell them you are going to solo travel as a female. From my experience, there are some destinations that are best experiences with a buddy. However, most countries are very safe for females who do their research and keep your wits about you. No blacking out at bars alone and make sure to let your loved ones know where you are going. Send these items to your dad or husband to help you get prepared to stay safe abroad.
Portable charger- keep that juice up with this mini one that works really well!
Portable WiFi- this one doubles as a portable charger
Airtags- Keep tabs on where your luggage, purse and backpack are. This four pack is perfect for keeping all your personal items accounted for or even for friends to track you from home.
Anti-theft Fake Travel Wallet- I have heard if you plan to visit Brazil, take a fake wallet cause its not if you get robbed. It is when. Just keep it on your person and hand this over instead of all your real cards.
Keychain Alarm- Alternative to a knife or mace. This is on my list for my next trip, or a taser lol.
Portable Door Lock- Thieves are crafty. But women are craftier… this doubles as brass knuckles and reinforces your hotel room door from uninvited guests.
For the Plane
Upgrade from economy with these picks for the best sleep you can get on an airplane. I am a carry on girl so I always pack a second larger personal item, like a tote or backpack, for all the things I need close to me for a more comfortable flight.
Weighted Sleep Eye Mask- it’s good for my autism
Sony Bluetooth Headphones- These are the only headphones I will ever travel with again. Bluetooth attaches to the back of the headrest with an AirFly and they are noise cancelling (no engine noise to aid sleep). They also have ambient sound if you want to wear them as you explore for safety as well.
Earplugs- For when you really wanna sleep.
Essence Nasal Diffuser- Nobody wants to smell your neighbors farts or BO. And the plane bathrooms get… nasty. Put these under your mask as a nose ring to diffuse calming essential oils for calm vibes.
Airplane Phone Mount- clamps onto the tray table or the arm rest of any airport bench.
Personal Fan- if you are the person that is always hot, this one is for you. I have been on planes where the air conditioning is out in the middle of summer and this would have come in so handy.
Packing Cubes- Keep organized in your carry on with packing cubes. They will create space for more outfits and accessories.
Clean Beauty
It is hard to keep your routine when you are traveling. These travel sized, clean beauty products are perfect for maintaining hydration and managing those jet lag eyes. Also aid in relaxation for smoother travel.
Reusable Squeeze bottles- for shampoo, conditioner and lotions
Solid Perfumes- no liquid :), This is the only brand I can find on Amazon but my favorite brand similar to this is Earthtuface !!
St. Tropez Self Tan Travel Set- everyone is more confident with some color
Supergoop Invisible Sunscreen- perfect size for carry on
Gua Sha Red Light Tool- Use this ancient Chinese tool for decreasing eye puffiness and anti-aging. Cause travel in this day in age takes years off my life every single time.
Pill Organizer- to keep your supplements and meds for the week without having to bring bottles of medication
Maui Babe Browning Lotion- for those beach days or need an instant tan for a night out. Smells like coffee
For the Memories
You are about to experience epic memories you will have for the rest of your life. My favorite souvenirs have always been the photos I bring home so here are the essentials I would bring with me if I didn’t have my Instagram husband with me.
Camera- Don’t make a scene with your big camera and other flashy electronics if trying to blend in. This Canon Powershot G7X Mark III is my go to pocket sized camera.
DJI Smartphone Stabilizer and Tripod- perfect for the solo travel content creator who wants to video herself. Simple for strangers to use as well if you are confident asking your fans to help you with content haha
Travel Journal- for the words and feelings photos simply cannot capture. I love this Slim Aarons journal!
Disposable Cameras- these are always some of my favorite pics, more authentic and nostalgic feel
International plug adaptors- Keep everything charged with the right adaptor for the destination you are visiting. This is the one I use for my mac book cord and this one for all my other electronics.
Personal Massager- just trust me…
And those are my best Amazon picks for the solo female traveler. Obviously these are necessities and luxuries and you know what, YOU deserve it. Wanna see more Prime Day deals?! Here is my Amazon storefront where I always add new items to when I find a cool girl item while online shopping. I hope this list helps you pack for you solo trip and remember, ENJOY EVERY SECOND. I am jealous haha.
