00:02 These are six travel accessories I never travel without.

00:06 This is a travel carbon monoxide alarm

00:14 that I pack on every trip after my mom sent me

00:17 one too many articles about accidents happening

00:19 at Airbnbs abroad where they don't legally require

00:22 buildings to have these in them.

00:24 It just plugs into the wall, it's also battery operated,

00:27 and it just gives me peace of mind when I travel.

00:31 I also always travel with these three bagu pouches.

00:34 I keep some random toiletries in the smaller one,

00:39 but the two bigger ones I always bring

00:41 and put shoes in them.

00:42 These can fit a pair of sandals, ballet flats,

00:46 and these are great for bigger shoes like sneakers

00:49 or anything that has a little bit more of an angle to them.

00:52 Instead of buying single use travel toothpaste tubes,

00:56 I switched to these reusable toothpaste tubes

00:59 from Travel Gear brand Matador.

01:01 For $10, it comes with two sets.

01:03 One is this two week capacity tube

01:05 and a smaller one week capacity tube.

01:08 It works just like a regular toothpaste tube

01:10 once it's filled.

01:11 There's a little bit of a learning curve

01:13 to figure out how to refill these,

01:15 but once you get into the habit of it, it's pretty fast.

01:18 So you slide off the plastic bit on the top like that,

01:21 and then open the tube.

01:25 (upbeat music)

01:27 And then fill it with toothpaste in there.

01:29 Whenever I fly on an airplane or in the winter,

01:34 I always bring this face cream that I got

01:37 after a trip to the Blue Lagoon.

01:39 And it is super rich and thick and really great

01:43 for incredibly dry airplane air.

01:46 And it always saves my skin

01:48 whenever there's no humidity in the air.

01:50 So whether it's winter or on an airplane,

01:53 it always keeps my skin looking great.

01:56 The next thing I always pack, whether I'm traveling

01:58 or working from a hotel lobby,

02:00 is this charging brick from Anker.

02:02 It's a three in one port, so I can charge my computer,

02:07 my iPhone, and one more device all at the same time,

02:10 and I don't have to pack multiple charging bricks,

02:12 and it saves me so much space in my personal item.

02:15 This is a travel pill case I bought on Amazon.

02:17 Instead of packing eight different bottles,

02:20 I can bring this one thing

02:22 and bring about a week's worth of medicine along with it

02:25 for anything I use daily up here

02:27 and then any just in case needs down here.

02:30 Thanks for watching, and if you're interested

02:32 in buying any of these products, the links are below.

02:35 No.

02:39 ♪ He's a Harry Wan ♪
