Milesopedia team’s favorite travel accessories

Because, of course, you have to start with a suitcase or a bag, your choice will depend on many factors, such as :

• the duration of your trip and what you need to bring,
• your destination and transportation from one place to another,
• whether or not you wish to travel with checked baggage,
• what you want to bring back as souvenirs, etc.

Within the team, we tend to favor carry-on luggage, which saves us money on plane tickets as well as precious time at the airport, allowing us to enjoy the VIP lounges for longer or simply get to our destination faster.

• As a digital nomad, Marie-Ève loves this Osprey 46 L backpack, which is both ergonomic and very roomy, and fits on every flight as carry-on baggage.
• If you prefer a wheeled option, Alexandrine recommends the Samsonite Outline Pro cabin case, with its integrated lock, USBC port and sturdy construction.
• As for high-end brands, we recommend Away, Monos or, of course, the timeless Rimowa.

As hand luggage, Alexandrine loves this colorful Cotopaxi backpack, which offers enough space for her laptop, headphones and all her electronic cables and accessories. For the same purpose, Marie-Ève loves this durable, spacious and versatile lululemon backpack.

• Storage cubes to organize your luggage, a suggestion from Aline
• Airtags to track our suitcases; after the lost luggage fiasco of summer 2022, this solution can help you find your checked luggage faster!

• A headphone splitter to watch a movie together with your travel partner (approved by Aline)
• An extension cable, because we know that the power outlet is never where we want it to be.
• A wireless phone charger, when you have just used it underwater and need to charge it simultaneously.
• For noise-canceling headphones, we recommend these, and Jean-Maximilien recommends the Beats Fit Pro, which can be worn for work as well as for running.

• This thin and light portable screen to work anywhere (tested and approved by Jean-Maximilien and Marie-Ève)
• This laptop stand for an ergonomic work experience (Marie-Ève brings it everywhere)
• A portable keyboard that folds and fits in any pocket

• And in the same vein, this water-resistant laptop case

Make the most of it when traveling with your kids. These games and accessories will keep them entertained (and maybe even quiet!) and won’t take up too much space in your suitcase. These items have been tested and approved by several members of our team like Marie-Claude and Aline who travel with young children.
