We, Filipinos, definitely LOVE to travel. And while the idea of traveling is definitely exciting, in reality, it is not always comfortable! Long plane rides in cramped airplane seats, securing the safety of your belongings while on your adventure, organizing your things and your travel essentials, and more—these are legit concerns to consider when traveling, and therefore things you should be planning ahead for!
Whether you’re planning a quick getaway or mapping out that month-long dream trip, take a look at these items that will surely make your adventure more convenient and worry-free. Below, we’ve rounded up eight travel essentials that will change the way you travel.
8. Secrid Miniwallet
The Secrid Miniwallet in the Indigo Leather Collection.
The Secrid Miniwallet with its sliding mechanism.
The Secrid Miniwallet is a more convenient alternative to your card holder as it has a sliding mechanism which is a simpler and easier way of accessing your cards, while also protecting them from breaking, bending, and unnecessary RFID or NFC scanning. You can also secure cash, receipts, bank notes, business cards, and the like in the interior of this mini-wallet, perfect for your travels!
7. Freitag Hazzard Backpack

3. Banale Toothbrush
The Banale Toothbrush
Unlike the ordinary traditional toothbrush, the Banale Tootbrush is built specifically for travelers as it is both compact and travel-friendly.

Some of the tools included in the Alltul are a bottle opener, letter opener, box opener, Phillips head, flat head, wrench, wire cutter, and the like, but the tools vary per animal design.
