7/ Travel alarm clock
Self-explanatory, but often overlooked. Buy yourself
a small, lightweight, travel alarm clock – you might not
need to (or want to) use it often, but it is invaluable to have
when you do need it. If you want to buy one online, check out
a few here
8/ Good toiletry bag
Great for keeping all of your toiletries in the
one place and organised. It might seem like a complete overkill
to have an organizer for all things toiletry-related, but you’d
be pleasantly surprised how much easier it is to carry and use
your everyday essentials. You can buy packs that come ready stocked
with travel-sized items which means you don’t have to carry
large bottles of shampoos, toothpaste and other items with you
(and you can always restock from the hotel when you’re running
low!). You can find a number of options for a good toiletry bag

9/ Clothes compressor bags
Believe it or not, there is an art to packing clothes. If you’ve
ever traveled with an Italian, you’ll see how they can pack
a cotton shirt into an over packed backpack and remove it a week
later without a crease or crinkle to be seen. While compressor bags
can’t guarantee you’ll be a fashion icon, they can keep
your clothes clean, relatively wrinkle-free, and offer you much
more space to pack more things. Have a look at the range available
at Magellan's
10/ A pen!
The simplest of all my essential items to bring, but the one I forget
most often. Before you leave the house, pick up a pen and put it
in a pocket or a place where it will be with you for the duration
of your flight. I’ve lost track of the amount of times I’ve
needed to beg a pen from a fellow passenger because mine was buried
deep in the overhead compartment. Sometimes it’s the simplest
things that make all the difference!
Well that’s my top-ten list of travel accessories that certainly
have made a difference to the quality and enjoyment of my travels.
It’s hard to pare them down to just 10 when you need to think
of other items like travel adaptors, headache tablets, sewing kit,
batteries, padlocks for your bag, data cables if travelling with
computers, phone chargers, telephone calling cards and the list
goes on. Whatever you bring with you though, I hope you have a safe
and enjoyable journey.
