Rohit & I love everything about travelling 🙂 Right from trip planning to bookings to packing to finally travelling. We enjoy every bit of it. We are often asked on Instagram about packing tips, must-have travel accessories that we use or any other tips & tricks that come in handy for us. So here are some of our personal favourites that may be useful for you as well 🙂

1. Mobile Tripod
A lot of times we get asked on Instagram that who takes our beautiful & gorgeous couple shots & the answer to that is a “Mobile Tripod”. We highly recommend investing in a good quality mobile tripod with a bluetooth remote. We have a Mobile tripod of the brand Yuntong that we picked from Singapore. These mobile tripods are very light weight, fit well in a backpack or handbag and can be easily carried throughout the day. You can clicks loads of awesome pictures without getting worried about who will take your couple or family pictures. Check out these stunning reflections that we captured from our Bali trip using out Google Pixel mobile phone & the mobile tripod

2. Travel Iron
I worry too much about crushed clothes during my travels & not able to find an iron in my hotel. To my rescue, I have my portable travel iron. It is one of the must-haves for any travels because its lightweight, compact & you can just slide it in your luggage. And with a travel iron, you can always pack clothes in your suitcase by rolling them to create more space without having to worry

3. Travel Packing Cubes/Bag Organizers
No matter how much I praise them, it won’t be enough. When travelling for longer vacations, we always prefer packing our luggage in packing cubes. We picked two sets of travel bag organizers from Amazon.in. These came in different packing cubes sizes and were very handy in segregating the luggage for clothing, toiletries, charges, wires etc. Apart from keeping our luggage organized, these cubes saves us a lot of space in suitcases. You can compress a cube to place more items into it. A must-have for sure
4. Refillable Travel Silicone Tubes/Bottles
These squeezable & leak-proof silicone tubes come handy in carrying liquid soaps, shampoos, creams etc. Basically your hunt for buying those tiny travel packs will end here once you start using these tubes 😀 We Reuse/refill these tubes for all our vacations and by this way we also do our bit to reduce plastic waste

5. Digital Weighing Scale for Luggage
Another must-have accessory is the portable digital weighing scale for your luggage. The last minute decisions on how much extra luggage you are carrying & how much to keep in check-in & how much to pack can be a spoilsport at the start if the trip. Such last minute packing decisions can be easily sorted by this simple device. Super light & super cheap to buy. I remember buying it from Amazon.in for just 300 bucks
6. Scarfs
You can use this little piece of cloth in so many ways apart from just using it as a scarf. A good photo prop, saves you from sun, can be your beach mat and lot more

7. Collapsible Umbrellas
We have waited in sun in long queues to enter a sightseeing spot & have seen so many jealous faces looking at us. We hope you can guess why 😀 Thanks to our tiny collapsible umbrellas which are our good buddies in bad weather

8. Old Sunglasses Cases
We dump in all the chargers, wires, headphones etc in a old empty sunglass case/cover. This really is such a simple tip but helps keep your travel bags so much organised & you can easily find all these tid-bits when in need

9. Energy Drink Powders
Carrying these energy drink powders help us stay ahead on those long travel days especially when you are visiting in hot/humid weathers. We usually carry small sachets of some energy drinks to add to some water which helps keeps us hydrated & energised
10. Snacks & Food
We always have space in our luggage for some munchies, nuts & some ready to eat meals. We love exploring the local food of a new place but carrying some food in your bags is always a good idea.

11. Notebook & Pen
Do not always rely on your mobile phones especially during international travels. We are a bit old school here…so before a trip starts, we always jot down all the important contact numbers & addresses of our hotels, local contacts etc. in our little notebook
12. Extra Memory Cards
No harm in carrying some extra memory cards for your cameras. Always a good idea to capture more memories without worrying about the space in your phone and camera 🙂 Isn’t it?
