Travel Must Haves

Over years of wandering, I’ve discovered a few trusted essentials that make travel smoother, more intentional, and a little more beautiful. This page is a curated collection of my personal favorites: the carry-on that fits just right, the cozy wrap I never board a flight without, the skincare that keeps my skin happy in changing climates, and a few small comforts that help me feel grounded wherever I land. Thank you for supporting Wander With Monica. I hope these pieces bring a bit of ease and joy to your own travels.

I love this shawl—it’s one of my most-used travel companions. It works beautifully as an evening wrap, a cozy blanket on the plane, or even a makeshift pillow or lumbar support during long travel days. Lightweight yet warm, it rolls up small and always lives in my carry-on.
