Electronics

International Travel Adapter
This adapter works in all countries.  You can plug in 1 AC, 1 Type C, and 4 USBs at once.

Portable Charger
This has 5 charges on it and can charge two phones at once.  It is slim and very portable.

Bluetooth Earbuds
These are my latest favorite earbuds.  I like that they charge in the case without being plugged up, and it shows the charge on the side.

Google Fi Wireless SIM card
We use Google Fi Wireless for international phone service. We actually use it all the time because it is cheap, and we never have to change the SIM card when we travel.  We just go to the app and change our phone plan to the international plan before we leave the country each time.

Clothing & Accessories

Women

Winter Jacket
This is my favorite winter jacket.  It is very light, yet very warm.  I wear it on almost all winter trips.  With a scarf, gloves, and earmuffs, I don’t need anthing else.

Heavy Winter Coat
This coat is great for very cold locations.  I bought it before we went to Germany at Christmas.  It is very warm!  I can truthfully say I did not get cold at all during that trip.  The only downside is that it is a bit more than I’d like to carry on a plane, but when you need it, you need it.

Packable Raincoat
This raincoat goes with me on every trip year-round.  It’s a great raincoat and windbreaker, and it folds up into a tiny pack making it easy to take anywhere.

Scarf
This is a very warm scarf.  It comes it many colors and patterns, so you can match it to your travel wardrobe easily.

Gloves
These are simple, warm gloves.  I have them in cream and black.

Examples of other Travel Clothes I love:
Long-Sleeve Button-Up Shirt
Thin Sweater
Cotton Camisole
Thermal Layer
Dr. Scholls Massaging Gel Insoles

Men

Winter Jacket
Like the women’s puffer jacket above, it is a great lightweight yet warm jacket that is good for almost all winter trips.

Packable Raincoat
This raincoat is great as a raincoat and windbreaker and folds up into a tiny pack.  Great to take year-round.

Our Favorite Credit Cards

We use travel credit cards to earn free flights and accommodations. Here are our favorites. You can click on each one to see all of the current bonuses and benefits.
If you use the links below we will earn bonus points for referring you when you apply and are approved. 🙂

Chase Sapphire Reserve
We both have this card. It is our favorite! This is a great card if you travel a lot and eat out a lot. It has a high annual fee, but with the travel credits you get and the extensive list of benefits it is very much worth it for us.

Chase Freedom Unlimited
This card is good for earning more Chase points since it earns 1.5 points per dollar on everything.

Chase Freedom Flex
This card is good for earning more Chase points using their quarterly bonus categories, which earn 5 points per dollar.

Chase Business Cash Ink
This card is good for earning Chase points on internet, cable and phone costs and any purchases at office supply stores.

Chase Southwest Rapid Rewards Performance Business
This card is great if you and a companion (family member or friend) fly often domestically because it can help you earn the Southwest Companion Pass!  Only Jay (my husband) has this one. Because he has the Companion Pass I can fly free on any Southwest flight he takes! It is most useful for us, for example, when I book a flight to Europe from a large airport on the East coast of the US, like New York, Boston or Washington DC where overseas flights are much less expensive. We fly on Southwest (cheap or free) to those airports in order to take our overseas flight.

Chase IHG Premier
We got this card for its generous sign-up bonus. We keep it because it earns a free night each year which offsets the annual fee, and it earns higher than normal points per dollar at IHG hotels.

Chase Marriott Bonvoy
We got this card for its generous sign-up bonus. We keep it because it earns a free night each year which offsets the annual fee, and it earns higher than normal points per dollar at Marriott hotels.

Chase World of Hyatt
We got this card for its generous sign-up bonus. We keep it because it earns a free night each year which offsets the annual fee, and it earns higher than normal points per dollar at Hyatt hotels.

*Note! I only recommend using credit cards if they are used responsibly.  They should be paid on time and in full each month in order for them to be worth using.
