In reply to Nora. I've run into the issue of sinks that either aren't compatible with rubber stoppers and/or are simply too small/shallow for hand washing. Most rooms, however, DO have a small plastic garbage/trash/recycling can. :-) With the trash bag removed, and with a good rinse, it works for hand washing in a pinch!

In reply to Everett. Hi Everett, I'm SO glad you like the look of the Rolo! I adore mine, and I've been using it for years.

Thanks Nora! The Rolo mention is EXACTLY what I have been looking for (I was hacking up something previous to seeing this). Looks like it will be a great augmentation to my backpack. Sold…hope you get some commission!

Much needed checklist for me. Thanks a lot for sharing this. Making a checklist helps you keep all the stuff properly once. I always keep my changing towel along any trip.

Hi Sean,
Packing Cubes! Of course. I actually didn’t outline my fav packing tools in this list – I have a whole other post for that! https://www.theprofessionalhobo.com/pro-packing-hacks-here-are-the-best-travel-accessories/
But I have a friend with the Peak Design packing cubes, and they look great. Me? I have the compression packing cubes from Knack Packs, and I adore them. https://knack-bags.pxf.io/vnyd3j

I also feature the Scrubba in my Packing Hacks post; I’ve never owned one personally, though I’ve used a friend’s. I thought it takes up a bit too much space and weight, but it is nice for hand-washing regardless of the sink situation (which isn’t always suitable for hand-washing).

The waterproof bag is also a genius recommendation!

Thanks, Nora, for sharing this amazing list.
Few Recommendation from my side: the best packing cone ever that really blew my mind and was a game changer is the peak design packing cubes series
And another recommendation is the solo-tourist Teflon / waterproof bag. I use it either as a wet clothes carryon bag or a clean wet laundry bag (the peak design packing cube have a special system to store dirty clothes in a separate pocket ) and for long trips I also put scrubba washbag and use a single soap for all: the dr Bronner one

A very nice list! And I’ve never thought of getting an RFID-Protected Passport Wallet. Someone casually walking by and sneakily scanning my stuff honestly worries me, but I never knew how to protect myself against such attacks. Now I do! Thanks very much 🙂
