[What to bring] Introducing the things I bring with me every time I go abroad

We travel to Asia once a month, so here are some handy items we bring with us!

There are some things we'd be in trouble without, so please use these as a reference for your travel luggage!

■Scale
Not only checked baggage, but some airlines even strictly check the weight of carry-on luggage.
We once exceeded the weight limit and had to pay an additional fee on the spot...
(We paid 7,000 yen at the time 💦)

◾️Hair Dryer (International Use)
Depending on the hotel, the hair dryer might be small, have a weak airflow, or be plugged into the bathroom outlet and only usable there...I've always wondered, "What will the hair dryer be like at this hotel?" So I always bring my favorite hair dryer with me! It's helped me relieve stress 🤭

◾️Slippers
I've had experiences where there weren't disposable slippers in the room, or the slippers were so thin I didn't want to spend days in them, so I make sure to bring my own slippers!

■ Adapter Plug
Outlets vary by country, so Japanese plugs often won't work.
But with an adapter plug compatible with over 200 countries, you can rest easy! It's a great way to have one.

■ Toothbrush Sanitizer
In an effort to reduce environmental impact, more and more hotels are no longer providing amenities like toothbrushes.
So we always bring our own toothbrushes in a sanitizing toothbrush case!

■ Body Bag
I travel with a variety of bags, but for Shironeko, this one is by far the most convenient. ✨
It has a large capacity and the back doubles as a wallet, so you can safely store your valuables! It's an essential bag for traveling. 😺

■ Clothing Compression Pouch
I always end up with a lot of luggage. 💦But with this compression pouch, I can compress my luggage and make it more compact, so it's incredibly useful!

■ Hanging Closet
When staying in a hotel for multiple nights, it can be a pain to have to keep taking clothes out of your suitcase.

This hanging closet can be hung up from your suitcase, making it easy to access your clothes, and it can be shrunk down for compact storage, making organization a breeze!

◾️Handy Fan
When traveling in Asia, many countries experience year-round humidity. 💦
I love this handy fan because it's powerful and compact!
(Note: Handy fans have built-in batteries, so please carry them on board.)

◾️Sneakers That Don't Cause Fatigue
Kuroneko and Shironeko are sneaker enthusiasts, owning over 200 pairs between us. 🤭
We've tried so many different sneakers, and the one we've found to be the most comfortable is the Nike Zoom Vomero 5. They're the best, and I've never had a sore foot, even after walking around all day. 👏

■ Neck Pillow
Kuroneko absolutely loves to sleep! We've tried so many different air pillows, even on airplanes, to sleep comfortably. 💤
But we think we might have found the best! "This pillow is what I was talking about.
It's light, easy to carry, and best of all, it's super easy to inflate!
Just open the lid, take a deep breath, and it'll inflate in just a few tries!
It deflates in a flash, so putting it away is stress-free!

If you have any travel recommendations, let me know! 😽
