Packing for a 3 week Asia trip and I keep seeing TikTok after TikTok about “must have” travel accessories. Compression packing cubes, those Apple AirTag luggage things, the weird silicone collapsible water bottles, travel neck pillows that wrap around your hand. What has actually earned its suitcase space for you on long trips? And what did you buy and regret? My bag is already pushing the weight limit and I’m trying to be ruthless.
o0o0o fun question!
- GOOD compression packing cubes- some of are going to contain your stuff, the good ones compress it
- Really solid plug adapter- don’t skimp out- get a good one and it will last you forever
- Travel towel- light, easy to pack, quick drying and has a million uses other than showers
For me, AirTags are 100% worth the suitcase space. They weigh basically nothing and just having that peace of mind when you’re waiting at baggage claim is worth it 
Especially on a 3-week trip where losing your luggage would be a nightmare. A portable charger and a good universal travel adapter are probably higher on my list than most of the TikTok gadgets. Those are things you’ll actually use basically every day.
@chris , are you doing the three weeks with just a carry-on, or are you checking a suitcase too? Because if you’re carry-on only, I’d be WAY more brutal with what makes the cut
