9 Items You Never Knew You Needed for Your Next Adventure

Wet Wipes

A Deck of Cards

Whether it’s a pack of traditional playing cards or a deck of uno cards, bringing some form of playing cards can be invaluable when traveling. One user said: “Playing cards have helped me to get to know a bunch of cool people late at night at the hotel.”

Travel-sized Board Games

Following on with the theme of games, one user said that she always packs a board game with her. She said: “They are always a huge hit, and I played one for a few hours straight with some random Aussie next to me on the plane on my way home from Bali once.”

Moisturizer

One popular suggestion came from someone who suggested moisturizer because “skin gets so dry on planes.” This prompted another user to suggest lip balm for the same reason.
