17 Travel Essentials I Always Pack (What's In My Bag)

About this video

McGoff walks through his comprehensive list of travel essentials, covering toiletries, tech gear, sleep accessories, clothing items, and everyday carry pieces that he brings on trips regardless of destination. He emphasizes practical items that maximize comfort and functionality while minimizing luggage space, and highlights the Panasonic Palm Razor as his preferred travel grooming tool.

Key takeaways

• McGoff argues that packing travel-size toiletries in a transparent dopp kit allows you to carry essentials in carry-on luggage rather than checked bags
• McGoff recommends bringing an eye mask, earplugs, and a resistance band to maintain sleep quality and exercise routines while traveling
• McGoff believes an analog wristwatch, physical book, and packable tote bag are often-overlooked travel essentials that improve the travel experience and preparedness
• McGoff suggests packing backup underwear, socks, a lightweight outer layer like a chore coat, and swim trunks in your personal bag as insurance against luggage delays
