Travel Essentials for the USA & Canada (Pack Smart, Stress Less)
Heading for the buzz of New York or the calm of Canada? The right gear turns “uh-oh” travel moments into smooth sailing. Below is a human, no-fluff checklist of what to pack—plus quick links that quietly solve the most common on-the-road problems.
Power First: Travel Adaptors & Chargers
Different countries, different plugs—no power means no maps, no photos, no contact. Sort power on day one and everything else is easy.
Smart Pick: 2-Port Wall Charger + US/CA Adaptor
Korjo 2-Port USB Charger & Adaptor (AU/NZ → USA & Canada) — keeps your AU/NZ plugs working in the States and Canada, while the twin USB ports top up phone + earbuds at the same time (so you’re not queueing for the one outlet in your hotel room).
On-Trip Laundry That Actually Works
Scrubba Wash & Dry Kit — lets you do a fast sink wash and dry anywhere, shrinking laundry piles and carry weight (handy after a coffee mishap on the subway).
Outerwear & Clothing That Match the Weather
From Manhattan wind tunnels to Banff chill, layers are your friend. Pack light, adapt fast.
Outerwear (Rain, Wind, “Four Seasons in a Day”)
Outerwear Collection — breathable shells and windbreakers that pack down small, so you stay dry without lugging a heavy coat.
Ponchos for Pop-Up Showers
Ponchos Collection — throw one in your daypack to avoid the “soaked jumper” souvenir (great for theme parks and ferry queues).
Thermals for Real Cold
Thermal Underwear — slim, warm layers that cut wind chill without bulk, so you can stay outside longer and pack less.
Hats & Gaiters
sun smart by day, toastier by night; quick to pack, big comfort payoff.
Travel Tech That Cuts the Fuss
Keep Cables Tidy
Lapoche Charger Bag — turns cable spaghetti into “I can find the right cord in five seconds,” saving time at airport security.
Power, Audio, Little Lifesavers
Travel Technology Collection — power banks, headphones, compact speakers; the simple way to stay charged, navigated, and entertained between cities.
Laptop Bags for Work on the Move
Laptop Travel Bag Collection — protects your gear and keeps chargers/docs in one place, so you can grab-and-go for meetings.
Phone Must-Haves
Smartphone Accessories — cases, screen protection, and small chargers that prevent cracked screens and low-battery panic mid-navigation.
No More Tangled Leads
Cable Storage — zip pouches and organisers that stop cables tangling and adapters going walkabout.
Comfort Boosters You’ll Actually Use
Neck Support That Works
Comfort Trip Budi Travel Pillow — keeps your head from nodding into the aisle, so you arrive less cranky and more human.
Block Light & Noise
Globite Eye Mask with Ear Plugs — quick wins for better sleep in bright hotel rooms and long flights.
Hydration, Sorted
VERPEAK 40oz Insulated Bottle — stays cold/hot for hours, so you spend less on drinks and more on experiences.
Real Story (The Rockies Test)
“My thermals kept me warm on sunrise hikes, and the adaptor meant my camera never died. It turned ‘hope for the best’ into ‘no stress.’” — Jane, Canadian Rockies
Packing Tips That Save Time

Pack Smart
Use packing cubes to keep outfits together and reduce rummaging on shared trips.
Keep Essentials Handy
Passport, cards, and documents belong in a quick-access pocket or neck pouch—less faff at checkpoints.
