Ali's Must-Have Travel Gear

  My go-to for every single trip. From 7-day beach breaks to month-long international adventures, the Nomatic Carry-on is built for those who value efficiency—and looking good while doing it. Skip the baggage carousel and travel with total confidence. 

 How do I fit 3 weeks of Italy into one carry-on? Compression cubes. After years on the road, I’ve perfected the setup: 2 Medium and 1 Large Nomatic cubes fits my recommended carry-on perfectly. Stop "Tetris-ing" your clothes and start packing like a pro. 

 My top pick for mobility and easy-access pockets. This spinner glides through terminals with zero effort and has that extra "give" for when you bring home a few too many souvenirs. It’s been my reliable companion on all my business travel when a backpack style bag doesn't work. 

 The ultimate peace of mind for your luggage. I never leave the terminal without one tucked inside my bag. Whether it's a 3-week trek across Italy or a quick weekend escape, you'll always know exactly where your gear is—even if the airline doesn't. 

 Between taking photos on shore excursions and using the cruise app on board, your phone battery will drain faster than you think. This is the exact power bank I use to stay charged up from breakfast until the late-night deck party. 

 Forget those flimsy paper tags the cruise lines ask you to print and staple. These clear, waterproof holders ensure your bags actually make it to your cabin without the tags getting ripped off by the porters. 

Most cruise ship walls are actually metal! These hooks are my secret weapon for doubling your storage space. Use them to hang up wet swimsuits, lanyards, or hats so they aren't cluttering up the desk.

TIP: Select at least the 40lb or higher rated hooks.
