…or anywhere, for that matter!!!!!

Earlier this year, we were able to travel to Southeast Asia as a family. You can read about our trip starting HERE. As a mom, it was quite the painstaking process figuring out all the items we would need to pack. This list, however, is my Top 10…the absolute necessities!

Oh, and put an AirTag on all your bags!

#1 – Native Deodorant

I have literally purchased every “natural” deodorant off the health food store shelves.

None of them work like Native.

Southeast Asia means sweating All. The. Time.

By applying Native just once a day, the stank never…I repeat…never appeared!

#2 – Natrapel Insect Repellent

In our family, only one of us got any bug bites at all, and that person (me) usually gets eaten alive!

This is the product we used throughout the whole trip.

We had researched tons of options, and we’re so glad we chose this one.

#3 – Babo Botanicals Daily Sheer Facial Sunscreen

Sensitive Skin. Mineral Sunscreen. Applies Easily. Nuff said!

#4 – Daily Vitamin (Vitie) Packs & Probiotics

SmartyPants Gummy Vities Daily Packs for Kids

NatureWise Probiotics for Kids (shelf-stable & tiny – easy to take with a spoonful of yogurt or a drink of milk)

Trilogy Daily Vitie Packs for Men (includes probiotics)

Trilogy Daily Vitie Packs for Women (includes probiotics)

#5 – Melatonin (Natrol brand)

Melatonin Fast Dissolve Tablets (Natrol brand) (to help you get to sleep & fight jet lag)

#6 – Wipes!

Wet Ones Antibacterial Wipe Packets

#7 – Neo To Go! (Neosporin spray)

To help kill the bacteria (foreign & domestic!)

#8 – Travel Washcloth (Lunatec brand)

#9 – Jackery Portable Charger

When you’re on your epic trip, you don’t want your phone, camera, or other devices to have a dead battery!

#10 – Scotch Blue tape

Multi, multi, multi use!
