9 Packing Essentials for Traveling in 2024

[@TrippedTravelGear]

Check out that list! Can't wait to see where all of this gear goes! Thanks for traveling with Tripped, Nicole and Mico!

The Osprey Zip organizer is my absolute favorite. That toiletry bag you showed looks like a knockoff of that. 🤔 Consider using disposable shower caps from the dollar store to cover the soles of your shoes.

[@MarshallandSabrina]

I (Sabrina) actually just got the exact same water bottle as Nicole! It's such an interesting design and like you said, definitely hard to lose 😂 those eye masks look awesome!! We may need to look into getting some. Thanks for the great video!

[@jennibabcock]

I have all the tripped items in your list and have had them for 9 months. Tip for your electronics bag instead of dealing with the leather pull tabs that for me were always falling off. Use a hair tie. My favorite I prefer my Compass Rose compression packing cubes they fit into my suitcase better.

[@DLFH]

I've used hair ties for years for small bags that don't get high use, but eventually had to put some money into nicer reinforced zipper pulls.

[@loudmouthnewyorker2803]

Just an odd tip for your Tech Pouch. Put the batteries and electronics in a ZipLoc bag and then into the pouch. All you need is for an errant flood or huge downpour to soak your luggage. But if you encase them with ZipLocs, it's one less worry during a storm.

[@696969bold]

Doesn't a ziplock bag trap moisture inside or encourage overheating? Consider putting your tech bag in a dry bag if you're concerned about getting electronics wet. Niteize or Osprey makes a waterproof pouch that can be used for tech.

[@loudmouthnewyorker2803]

@@696969bold Yes a waterproof pouch would be best. The ZipLoc bag won't trap moisture if you put everything inside dry to start.

[@kateforster7100]

What's the breathability like on those shoes? I'm concerned that the waterproof treatment might mean sweat can't get out and your feet don't air in warm places?

Thanks for watching!

[@BetterNeurodivergentTravel]

The Tripped electronics bag looks great! I have one from a UK department store that is just too heavy for travel... so I shove the cables and battery packs into a pocket on my backpack, which probably isn't the best!!!

[@ritasmoot1823]

Hey kiddos! I really love y’all. Can’t support monetarily, but, I liked, commented now, watched the adds and clicked the tripped link. 😅. Another good video. I do like the Tripped brand and love merino wool! Safe and happy journey through Central America! Rita

[@nicoleandmico]

You are so kind, thank you so much! We're so amazed by people like you who find ways to give back to creators in creative ways. We love it so much and really appreciate the support 🤗😀

[@ritasmoot1823]

@@nicoleandmico and I appreciate that you take to places I will never be able to go to myself. I love traveling vicariously through you guys. Thanks for taking me along.

[@DLFH]

These are such great gear essentials! I love my Tripped travel kit, especially the double zip big mesh pocket and you get two other useful bags. I have made use of multiple items from Tripped for a long while now, and come to love them for their quality, durability, and functionality. Vessi is another company I've come to love and have found their shoes comfortable, durable, and as waterproof as they promis. One thing to keep in mind about Vessi is they do not come in half sizes so I typically go with an 8 wide or 8.5-9 US womens and found that an 8 fit just fine but check the size chart for each style. One other item you guys have shown before but did not feature in this video is the Heroclip. I've got multiple sizes and they have come in very handy from running holding up my bathroom bag and providing a dry line to attaching my roller bags together. The Heroclip is another item that's great quality, very durable, and extremely functional.

[@nicoleandmico]

So awesome to hear you’ve found so many of these items and other items we love to be so helpful! We think you’ve got great taste in gear 😂😁😁 That HeroClip really is incredible. Mico replaced his after losing it in Indonesia a while back. We couldn’t believe how much he struggled without it for a few months in between losing it and getting a new one 😂

[@booklover555]

I hate to be a critic but this video seemed like one long brand name advertisement. I love following your travels and have enjoyed your previous packing essentials videos but this one just seemed like a lure for sponsorship.

[@nicoleandmico]

Thanks for your honest comment. Yes it’s true that our travel lifestyle does depend on sponsorship in order for us to keep creating content. However for every product we put out there there are always 10 more that don’t make the cut because we find we either didn’t test it enough or it just wasn’t good enough to share. Before we started full time travel we did so much research on gear and we always aim to make videos that our past selves would have found useful. Regardless of what you thought about the items, we hope you got some insights from it and it helps you in your research too 😋☺️

Allbirds for shoes !

[@donnawilson5514]

We leave in just a few hours on another mission trip to the Philippines. We have the packing cubes and tripped toiletry kit and tech kit. Love them. We need to get the matador soap keeper. Thanks for sharing!

[@nicoleandmico]

Oh my gosh amazing! We hope you have the most amazing time in the Philippines! It's so good to know you're loving the Tripped gear as well - we've been really impressed with them 😊

[@mathewhunt81]

You guys are just too cute

[@dianaludwig925]

Great video! I enjoy the tripped backpack as its lightweight and great for everyday use! The tripped gear is awesome. I love it as well! I will have to check out the other brands you mentioned! Have a great one! 😊

[@nicoleandmico]

Awesome! Thank you! We have so many gear ideas that have worked well for us over the years of travel. So glad to hear you might enjoy some of our favourite things too. Thanks for watching 😋

[@oliviabrown261]

Well done:)

[@zancaredler]

I have one kislux bag I got in 2019, it's the LV white catogram speedy. It's counter quality and it has a nice honey patina now, so the leather is real. I think whatever makes you happy go for it. I've seen LV with plastic leather and blood red glaze...

[@adventuresforthecurious]

I just found your channel and really like your style already! You two are energetic, informative and have a good vibe, so I am a new subscriber! This vlog is helpful and I added a few items to my to buy list. After looking at your previous videos list, I do love how you seem to visit some unique places that not everyone features, but also look forward to hopefully seeing where you go next!

the manta sleep mask link is broken. it needs an h

[@wangddah]

Buying the pacsafe paasport wallet and the soap case bc of you guys! I LOVE watching these kind of videos :) Thank you!!!

[@nicoleandmico]

So glad we could give you some ideas! We love both of those items so much and hope you do too!!

[@Rachel_1983]

I recently got that Matador soap pack and its AMAZING!! Soggy soap is always such a pain to deal with. It felt like a splurge for such a small simple item, but its worth it! Also obssssed with my Owala. A perk is that I can fill it at water refill stations without having to take the lid off! Very convenient

[@nicoleandmico]

Awesome! We totally agree! It seemed a bit pricey to us at first, but now we've bought 5 or 6 and are converted for life 😂

[@mauricevanravels]

Hi Nicole and Mico, the shoebag is great, but make sure you’re shoes are not wet. If they are and they stay without ventilation for too long. The shoes will get mould and you can throw then away. 5:38

[@nicoleandmico]

Yes that’s a great point! We always try to make sure dry shoes go in but sometimes it can be a challenge in humid countries. Still great for keeping the packing clean and tidy though 😊

[@Caloci76]

Are the sleep masks good for side sleepers? I don’t love most of the ones I’ve tried.

[@nicoleandmico]

They are! I (Nicole) am a side sleeper and wear it every night 😃

[@Emmanemma00]

❤❤

[@marian1905]

I love my Vessi shoes.

[@nicoleandmico]

So glad to hear you love Vessi too!
