Ditto baby wipes! I used to slip a 50 dollar bill in my shoe, just in case. A working mobile phone and my credit card, can't leave home without them!

A working mobile phone and my credit card, can’t leave home without them!

Although I've never carried duct tape, it obviously is the best stuff on Earth. I always have plenty of baby wipes with me (Target has packs for $1!) but I wouldn't recommend using them on a computer screen. Definitely 5 great things to have while traveling.

I've hear of people wrapping it around objects. Pencils and water bottles are great suggestions! Thanks, Alison. I've hear of people wrapping it around objects.

Kleenex is made from an ancient old growth forest in Canada. It takes 90 years to grow the tissue in one box of kleenex. The company that produces Kleenex, Kimberly-Clark is destroying one of our most essential eco-systems on earth. So please use facial tissue from companies that use 100% recycled material.

You could also wrap it around your water bottle. It takes a little time, but it makes it way easier to pack (esp in my first aid kit).
