The worst part about travelling is... well, travelling. Nobody likes to spend hours sitting in a cramped space in between two strangers with little to no leg room. In fact, if you think about it, every flight or bus ride is the worst way to begin and end just about every trip. Not to mention all of that wasted time in busy and loud airports or train stations waiting to connect.

If you're someone who travels a lot, then getting a comfy travel pillow is probably the most important thing you could do. Also up there? Investing in some smart luggage, snagging a quality travel adapter, and finding the right thing to binge-watch on your flight.
