This ongoing list reflects my “musts” for travel. There is rarely a trip where I don’t need the items and they are some of my creature comforts in knowing my bag is packed well.

This isn’t the comprehensive list we all love and adore BUT I believe it’s just as important of one - it’s the random stuff that you don’t always think to pack but praise yourself when you do. During my two months backpacking South America, these are some items that came in handy during my trip.
