When I first started traveling my lack of organization was something I realized needed a lot of work. I could never seem to keep track of my belongings. I would spend ages frantically searching in my bag for something, only to realize I lost it, forgot it or I would eventually find it after having to take everything else out. No matter how many times I repacked, I still managed to go back to the same unorganizational ways.

I started to do research on different travel accessories and bags I could get to help me stay more organized on my trips. Although my organization isn’t perfect, it’s gotten a lot better thanks to some of these items I have found.

If you are an unorganized traveler like myself, hopefully, you’ll find some items on this list that will work for you.
