I am always on the lookout for products that travelers will love and will make their travels easier. Come on…travel can be stressful, so anything that makes life easier is welcomed. Each month I will do a roundup of products I’ve found and test them out to see if they’re something I would actually use. This is actually May’s list, but I’m a few days behind because I’ve been stuck in bed for the last three days because of the mother-of-all kinks in my neck. Here’s what I found this month:
Arcopedico Shoes
WHY TRAVELERS WILL LOVE THEM: These are one of the most comfortable pairs of shoes I own and I’ve been bringing them with me everywhere I’ve been traveling. They are lightweight so I can throw them in my carry-on and they are easy to remove when I’m going through security. They are also super cute and the grey color goes with everything. I normally wear a size 8 ½ and I got the size 40 but wish I’d gotten the 39 because it is a little big on me.
WHAT ELSE I LOVE ABOUT THEM: I love that they are made in Portugal!!! Woot Woot! I’m Portuguese, so I’m proud to see that a high-quality shoe was made there.
COST: $80

Sock Panda Subscription Box
WHY TRAVELERS WILL LOVE THEM: Whenever I travel, I keep a cozy pair of socks in my carry-on bag for when my toes get cold on the plane or for relaxing in my hotel room. I love socks and the more colorful and crazier the better! These socks are a fashion statement and a conversation starter! I love that each month you’ll be surprised at which fun socks show up at your door. I was so thankful that I received 3 pairs because my daughters each wanted a pair.
WHAT ELSE I LOVE ABOUT THEM: The Sock Panda team is dedicated to making the world a better place. As of December 2018, the company has donated over 100,000 socks to homeless shelters, low income senior centers, hospitals, and underprivileged classroom throughout the country. I love to support companies that give back!
COST: Between $11-$13/month for 1 sock and $17-$20/month for 2 socks

Alio Oil-Free Reed Diffusers and Freshening Pouch
WHY TRAVELERS WILL LOVE THEM: Hotel rooms can often smell odd because of mildew or harsh cleaning chemicals, and Alio oil-free reed diffusers are a great alternative to candles or oil diffusers. They can easily be put beside your bed and the smell is not overpowering. It is quick to assemble and the scent lasts a long time! The design of the reed diffuser is sleek and modern looking. I also love their freshening pouches for smelly places like yoga bags and ski backpacks. My daughter put one in her soccer bag!
WHAT ELSE I LOVE ABOUT THEM: It’s also a wonderful tool to use at home to get a good night’s sleep before a long day of traveling. There are several scents to choose from. I got to try cedar & teak and jasmine rain. They both smelled incredible and quickly made my room smell fresh. Another thing I like about them is my 12-year-old daughter has begun to want spa products for her room and these are much safer than giving her a candle.

Elyptol Hand Sanitizers
WHY TRAVELERS WILL LOVE THEM: I am constantly aware of all the germs that surrounds my family while we’re traveling and I am constantly applying hand sanitizers to all of us. These do not dry out your hands and uses natural ingredients. They kill germs and moisturize your hands all at once. I’ve been using the wipes on my counters at home since the stomach bug hit our house and have put travel size bottles in everyone’s backpack and purse.
WHAT ELSE I LOVE ABOUT THEM: My youngest daughter and I like the smell of these hand sanitizers because it has a eucalyptus scent, but my older daughter is not a fan of eucalyptus. I used them on my flight from San Francisco last month to wipe off the tray table and TV screen, and the woman next to me told me she loved the scent.
COST: Varies

Doctor Plotka Toothbrush
WHY TRAVELERS WILL LOVE IT: The compact folding design of this toothbrush makes it perfect for travel. I love that I can throw it in my toiletries bag without having to worry about germs getting on it. I also love that I can put it down on a hotel bathroom’s vanity without worry. I also like the bristles on this one since travel toothbrushes are often low quality.
WHAT ELSE I LOVE ABOUT IT: The size is great since it folds down and takes up little space in your bag.
COST: $5.99 or a 2-pack for $9.99
