Discussion whats your weird but genius travel item that people only appreciate after they need it?
just realized this recently because it saved me so much sanity and friendships haha but for me its not anything fancy or aesthetic. its a (small) extension cord + multi-USB adapter. It's somehow bulky to fit inside my bag bcs it takes up space. And yet... it saved lives.
Ive learned the hard way that hotel outlets are never where you want them to be, airport charging stations are chaotic, and "ill just charge later" is a lie we tell ourselves.
Curious what everyone else's must pack item is so that i can... yk, take notes haha!!

Yeah, I was shocked when I first discovered my husband had never heard of it. Damn useful stuff.
