1. Passport wallet/Ticket holder
Especially for journeys that requre train reservations and plane tickets, a passport/ticket-sized wallet is a must-have item, so you can keep track of important documents. What’s great about the Vera Bradley Accordian Wallet is that it has a zipper for extra safekeeping!
2. Shaving Cream
What’s great about the summer is that you get to show off some skin! What’s not so great is that it also means you can’t forget to shave. Pure Silk shaving cream offers these perfect travel size containers perfect for packing!

5. Travel Mug
Suggested: the CamelBak Forge Divide Travel Mug, which offers practically leak proof protection on the go. Coffee is essential while travelling too, right?
