I'm all about power, so I make sure I have the right adapter and converter. My Dyson hair dryer and skincare containers are non-negotiables. But the real MVP? It's my Oura Ring 4. This bad boy keeps tabs on my sleep, ensuring I'm zzz-ing like a baby, even while exploring new territories.

Selfie time! Pack the Pixel 9 Pro Fold, the iPhone 16 Pro Max, or even throw in a handheld gaming device like the RG34XXSP from Anbernic. Adventure calls, and so does your game console.
