A curated travel packing list just for you

Hi! I'm Josie, host of Casa Querencia and tour leader for Traveling in Spanglish Tours.

I have spent the last 10 years traveling extensively, and in doing so I've learned some pretty amazing travel hacks. I learned what and how to pack, what's necessary for comfortable international travel, and I learned what my tried and true product faves are!

I thought it was about time that I stop keeping this packing treasure trove to myself and share my great travel finds with you all. These are some items that I don't travel without, and that I think you should know about! :)

I've partnered with Amazon as an affiliate and as an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases. If you like any of the items I showcase, and click my own personalized link, I will receive commission from your purchase.

Hope you love all of these items as much as I do!

Heads up!

Every single one of these items is something that I use regularly.

Nothing on this list is a guess. Everything you see, I love because I have tested it out for myself.

What you see has "Josie's official seal of approval" :).
I would never share any item that I didn't KNOW was awesome.

Let me know which item is your favorite!
