🧳 Travel Essentials
Samsonite Voltage DLX Softside Luggage
Sleek, expandable, and surprisingly lightweight—this is the kind of roller bag that says "I travel too much to deal with zippers that jam."
Apple AirTag
Throw one in your luggage and thank yourself when you’re tracking it through a layover in O’Hare.
Bellroy Tech Kit
A tidy organizer for cords, cables, and dongles—because stuffing chargers into your backpack’s front pocket is chaos.
🔋 Gadgets & Gear
Anker Prime Power Bank
With 200W of fast-charging juice and multiple USB-C ports, this thing is a lifesaver in airports and taxis.
Kindle Paperwhite
Because hauling around that 800-page hardback isn’t ideal for tray tables.
Sony WH-1000XM5 Noise Cancelling Headphones
The road warrior standard for tuning out screaming babies and tuning into deep work.
☕ Comfort Upgrades
LARQ Self-Cleaning Water Bottle
No more funky bottle smells. The built-in UV-C light purifies water and the bottle itself.
Parachute Travel Kit
A luxury linen travel pillow, eye mask, and blanket set. It’s like bringing first-class comfort to coach.
Loops Quiet Earplugs
Block out everything but your inner calm. Sleek, reusable, and airport approved.
🧠 AI Prompt Tip
"You’re packing for a 5-day international business trip with carry-on only. Recommend a gear list with links based on TPG’s road warrior picks."
Try it before your next flight. AI as your personal travel assistant? Yes please.
