We know summer is a time to be foot-loose and fancy free. Many of us find this sense of freedom while traveling, whether with our families, friends, or the coveted solo-trip. Traveling brings us out of our comfort zone, ready for the unplanned and unexpected. Within the unstructured space of travel, we have found it a relief to keep ourselves organized so we can enjoy the entirety of the journey!

We have gathered our top travel essentials to stay organized while on the road (or in the air!). Enjoy the added spaciousness that comes from organization. Comment below your favorites or tag us on instagram @greenmountainspace.

Compress Packing Cubes - Bring the organization of your dresser with you with these great compress packing cubes. Sort your clothes by category or size, fold or roll them up and pack them in. Then you can zip the compression feature and minimize the space your items take up. These are a must have!

Electronics & Cord Organizer - These days, the cords and ear buds and important small items that help us stay clear with our technology are important to keep untangled and easy to find. The size of a wallet, this electronics organizer is great for backpacks, day bags, or carry-one luggage.

Hanging Toiletry Bag - No one likes loose tooth paste or a rouge deodorant. Keep all your toiletry items categorized and easy to find with this hanging bathroom bag. Bonus that it comes in a variety of colors and is cute!

Glasses Straps - “Where are my glasses?” Says the confused traveler, spinning around or digging through their day bag in a furry. Ahh, the relief that they were safely hanging from their neck, always available to be popped on when the sun strikes. Sometimes staying organized just means knowing where your items are right when you need them.

Jewelry Organizing Case - Galavanting on your journey shouldn’t mean you can’t be glamorous with your favorite jewelry. This stylish and compact organizing case keeps your necklaces, rings and earrings in a clear space for you to spruce up, no matter the formality of your trip. No need to sacrifice the extra touch of your favorite earrings just because you’re away from your jewelry box. P.S. This is great for big earrings too, of which I am a huge fan!

Supplements/Medication Organizer - Maintain your routine of your medications or supplements with this AM/PM organizer. This is also great for smaller jewelry (if you’re an avid ring wearer or small earring person).

Specific for Air Travel

TSA Approved 3-1-1 Liquids Bag - Ensure all the items you need for those plane rides are right where you want them to be, and easy to see. Lotion for dry hands in airports or plane rides, toothpaste to freshen up after the airport Mexican food, deodorant to freshen up before you give mom a big hug when you land. This carry-on size case is durable, compact and just right for all the little wellness essentials.

Specific for Car Travel

Backseat Car Organizer - Great for those traveling with toddlers or kids, these organizers make it easy for your little one’s to have whatever they need at their finger tips to enjoy the journey. Books, games, snacks and drinks are all right there - ready for their little fingers so they can keep joyfully asking “Are we there yet?”.

Thank you for stopping by and reading about our organizing team’s favorite travel essentials. To put the icing on the cake- so to speak, we want to share a packing checklist we made for one of our clients who was traveling to New York last year for a 25-day trip. The trip was booked last minute and she called us to guide her through the packing process on what to take. You can download her Packing Checklist as a baseline to help you prepare for your upcoming travels. If you want an editable version email us at hello@greenmountainspace.com with the subject line Editable 3-week packing list and we will send it over. Be on the lookout for our ONE YEAR packing list we made for a client who was traveling to London on sabbatical.
