Best Travel Gear: 20 Items You Need Inside Your Travel Bag 

May 15, 2022Elena Santin

There's no better time than the present to travel the world. The saying, "the world is your oyster," is no understatement; it's yours and just waiting for you to jump on the opportunity. Deep blue oceans, towering mountains, winding rivers, and giant trees are a part of nature you can't enjoy forever.

You're itching to get out there and explore what the earth has in store and what you might find. However, there is a relatively high chance that you won't be able to make your journey without a proper travel bag to bring all of the essentials. Can't wrap your head around a travel bag that could possibly fit all of your stuff? A bag like The Ultimate Travel Bag by Cancha is a fantastic place to start, super roomy, and designed to fit all of the necessities and more. 

You've got your travel bag, and you think you've got everything… but you're not sure. Before running off to your destination, take a look at these 20 items you need inside your travel bag to avoid booking an immediate return flight. Depending on the nature of your trip, you may need some or all of these items! 

 

  • Sunscreen
  • Protect your skin from harmful UV rays not only upon arriving at your destination but on the way there too. Flying in an airplane brings you about 6 miles closer to the sun which can have damaging effects on your skin. Lather up!

     

  • Skincare
  • You're not going to want to trust your hotel on this one. Don't forget to take care of the largest organ of your body! Do your best by continuing your skincare routine and pack at least your facial cleanser and moisturizer. 

     

  • Lip Balm
  • Traveling can be dehydrating, and there's nothing worse than the feeling of dry lips. Keep your lips hydrated by packing a moisturizing ChapStick on your carry-on. 

     

  • Hand Wipes
  • Stay healthy and keep away the germs by bringing some sanitizing wet wipes. Anti-bacterial hand wipes can be useful in many situations, from sanitizing a commonly used area to cleaning your hands after eating. 

     

  • First Aid Kit
  • Simply bringing band-aids just won't cut it (no pun intended). Save yourself a trip to the pharmacy by packing some pain relievers, alcohol wipes, antihistamines, antibiotic ointment, and, if necessary, prescription medicine. 

     

  • Rain Gear
  • Avoid a wet and damaged phone by packing some rain gear such as a lightweight rain jacket that won't make a dent in your travel bag. 

    You may also want to invest in a travel bag that is water-resistant and will protect your valuables, such as a Cancha Backpack

     

  • Tennis Shoes and/or Running Shoes
  • If you are the type of traveler who loves to hit the gym on vacation, this travel gear is a must. Bring along your running shoes for a great way to explore your surroundings too!

     

  • Travel Pillow
  • You can wrestle with the headrest on the airplane all you want but still feel too uncomfortable to sleep. Although it may feel unnecessary, a travel pillow can help you catch some quality zzz's. 

     

  • Earbuds
  • An imperative travel accessory, wireless earbuds are an item to remember to pack in your carry-on. Whether you are watching a movie on the plane or hitting the hotel gym, earbuds are a must-have item for traveling. 

     

  • Compression Socks 
  • If you are traveling on an airplane, chances are you aren't going to be walking a whole lot. Increase blood circulation and avoid swelling by adding some compression socks to your packing list. 

     

  • Power Bank
  • Save yourself a stressful situation while traveling to buy a power bank that can charge your phone and other tech on the go. Keeping all your tech together can be a hassle, so a day bag for your tech and travel essentials like this one can keep it all together in one place.

     

  • Packing Cubes or Compression Bags
  • Storing all of your clothes in packing cubes or compression bags can save you precious space and leave you room for souvenirs for your trip!

     

  • Kindle
  • Whether you are suntanning by the beach, sitting in the backseat on a road trip, or waiting in the airport lobby, having a Kindle by your side is almost mandatory travel equipment. 

     

  • Travel adaptor 
  • Depending on where you are traveling, you may need to pack a travel adaptor to ensure you can charge your phone, laptop, wireless earbuds, and Kindle. There's nothing more important than making sure your phone is fully charged when you are in a country you aren't familiar with. 

     

  • Workout clothes
  • The essentials! Bring a few pairs of your favorite shirt and shorts combinations to look and feel your best during the trip, and pack clothes accordingly, depending on the temperature and events of your travels. 

     

  • Smartwatch
  • Wearing your smartwatch on your trip is not only an awesome way to keep the time and manage your notifications but also to keep you active and track your workouts. A smartwatch such as an Apple Watch or Garmin is fantastic traveler's gear because it helps you stay aware of your fitness level. 

     

  • Sunglasses 
  • Swimming on the beach or climbing mountains both involve the bright sun, which can cause some serious squinting, causing discomfort and making you distracted. Focus on the activity you came for by remembering to pack some shades in your travel bag. 

     

  • Collapsible Water Bottle
  • A super cool travel accessory, a collapsible water bottle is a perfect way to stay hydrated while also managing the space in your travel bag. 

     

  • Hats
  • Avoid skin damage and increase your fashion game by tossing a hat in your bag. A hat protects you from sun rays that can seriously wreak havoc on your skin. 

     

  • Swimwear
  • No matter your travel plans, be ready for a burst of spontaneity by bringing along your swimsuit. Even if your plan isn't to hit the beach, what if you drive by a gorgeous lake? 


    A roomy yet comfortable and water-resistant travel bag is the best way to keep all of the above essentials safe and in one place. Feel secure and organized about your belongings by getting a travel bag that is strong and can withstand anything, like this popular Travel Backpack by Cancha. If you have a well-packed travel bag, you can do anything! Embrace spontaneity by being ready for any adventure.
