I usually store all PDF files of every document under the iBook of my iPhone XR. But keeping the hard copy of every paper is a must to save if you miss your cell phone.
Smart Travel Gadgets
Apple MacBook Air/Any Laptop/iPad
No matter where I travel I must keep my brand new 13-inch MacBook Air with me and previously it was MacBook Pro. Not possible to travel without this most important travel gadget of mine. Whether I work or not even on a holiday trip I carry my MacBook and the charger with it.
iPhone XR/Any Smartphone
I’m loving all the smart features of my iPhone XR and previously I had iPhone 6 Plus. Before flying I love to note down every detail of my entire trip using my iPhone XR. During airplane mode sometimes enjoy passing time reading books from iBook. Any smartphone is another must-have carry-on essential for all time.
Canon PowerShot G7 X Mark III/Any Digital Camera/Action Camera
It is safe to keep all travel gadgets inside your carry-on bag. As like MacBook not even possible to travel these days without my favorite travel camera. We all love to hold our travel moments, agree? I’m glad to add one more photography gear to my carry-on essentials list. Yes, it is Canon PowerShot G7 X Mark III. The first mirrorless camera and Canon product I’m going to use after Nikon Coolpix cameras. The Canon PowerShot G7 X Mark III digital camera is the perfect addition to my carry-on bag. Read more about this super light gadget from Canon PowerShot G7 X Mark III camera review which comes with all the essential features I was looking for as a travel blogger.
I capture a lot during every trip around. Earlier I’ve loved to play with Nikon Coolpix P900 and Nikon Coolpix P600 digital cameras. I love Nikon Coolpix cameras for close-up shots but not handy to carry always for the weight.
It is simply perfect to carry a tripod for taking your own photos alone. I found it too easy to use my GorillaPod and take less space and nicely fit in my carry-on luggage. JOBY Gorillapod is best for mirrorless cameras and light devices.
GoPro HERO7 Silver action camera became one of the must-have smart gadgets to travel. I enjoy recording videos during my trip around. So this small but powerful electronic device is simply great to play with and easy to carry in my carry-on bag.
No matter which camera you use don’t miss to pack the charger and spare batteries with the camera.

Headphones and an extra battery pack are my two must-have items for all of my flights. And, of course, a couple of amazing playlists downloaded from Spotify. What a great list!
My pleasure to know about your choices!
Those gold ballet slippers are so cute, and this is a great list! All of these are needed for a no worries trip!
Valerie
Those slippers are really so cute 🙂
Thats a really useful and practical lust for travelling. I am surely saving it for my next travel
Good to know 🙂
Great list – I should read this over every time I travel since I never fail to forget something I absolutely needed.
🙂
Wow this is such a deep down list, I always tend to miss atleast one 🙂 I would buy all in USB adaptor for me soon. Wonderful list.
This Universal USB Charger Cable is really very useful one!
What a useful list!! We got pickpocketed in Zagreb 3 weeks ago but luckily we didn’t lose our passports. Really need to get an RIFD wallet. And I love the idea of the ballet flats and I actually have them too. I just never thought to bring it when I travel. My one thing I can’t live without is a power board!
Oh, and so how important it is to carry all essential items!
Thanks for the tips. Love the passport and travel docs holder. I should really get them, coz I tend to clutter all papers on my bag.
Yes, all important docs should be kept in a proper travel wallet
Great list. I always seem to forget my Bluetooth headphones though. I will need to save this to make sure I don’t forget next time! lol
heheh 🙂
Such a great list! I’m usually pretty good about getting everything I need…but a portable phone charger is so key! And it seems like I’m always forgetting it!
A portable phone charger is the esential one for always!
Hmm… my electronics are usually with me in carry-on since the lithium batteries can’t be checked in. But otherwise I’m pretty light with my carry-on TBH, and I mean to be lighter still once I get the Baubax multifunctional jacket – I always need a jacket anyway, so it might as well do extra work! I’m lucky in that I can be comfortable in whatever it is I’m wearing – I can sleep on an airplane wearing hiking boots!
It’s good to hear about your comfy carry-on essentials!
I must admit that I have none of these travel things but they are definitely essential, Nafisa. I haven’t read a more practical list of things which I have to get as soon as possible, especially those foldable travel ballet!
Yes, essential carry-on items can help you to make your trip comfy as well!
