Amazon just launched its “Prime Day Deals.” That makes now a great time to pick up some travel supplies, whether you're planning on traveling this summer or gearing up for a trip next year.
My wife and I have been digital nomads for the past eight years. Over that time, we've gotten very picky about what travel items and supplies we haul around the world.
Here are 9 of our favorite travel items that are on sale now for Amazon Prime Day.

Bose QuietComfort Noise-Cancelling Headphones
Planes can be loud. Whether you want to drown out the noise or want better quality sound when watching a TV show or movie, noise-canceling headphones can be clutch for travel. Although they aren't the smallest item to pack, I carry my Bose QuietComfort 45 noise-canceling headphones with me around the world.
For Amazon Prime Day, Amazon has dropped the price on a similar set of Bose headphones as much as 43% to as low as $199. Check your options and buy it here.
Osprey Farpoint Travel Backpack
Since going nomadic in June 2017, my wife and I have hauled our clothing, gear, and supplies around more than 70 countries in Osprey Farpoint backpacks.
When we've periodically used rolling suitcases — such as when I had surgery on my back — we learned just how much we prefer having a travel backpack to a rolling suitcase. Not only does a travel backpack free up a hand, but you also don't have to worry about rolling your suitcase across cobblestone, brick, or muddy ground.
Three versions of Osprey Farpoint backpacks are on sale for Amazon Prime Day:
- 40-liter (carry-on size): $138 (25% off)
- 70-liter: $168 (27% off)
- 80-liter: $190 (19% off)
Fitbit Activity Tracker
From sleep tracking and step counting to silent alarms and, yes, even telling time, Katie and I rely on our Fitbit activity trackers throughout our travels. We currently have older Versa models that are no longer for sale. But, several Fitbit activity trackers are on sale during the Amazon Prime Day. Make sure to compare the features to see which version makes the most sense for you:
BESTEK Travel Power Converter Box
Nowadays, most electronics don't require power conversion. However, not all hotels have ample power outlets. That's why we carry a BESTEK universal travel converter with us for our travels — both domestically and abroad. This small box converts one power outlet into three three-prong U.S. outlets plus four USB-A outlets. For any electronics that can't handle different voltages, it converts the power to the 110 volts we use in the U.S.
For Amazon Prime Day, this converter box is discounted by 24% to $29.59. Buy it here.
Nuun Hydration Tabs
Travel can be exhausting. Buying water or sports drinks can be expensive — particularly in touristy destinations. Depending on where you're visiting, tap water taste can vary from delicious to hard to swallow. That's why we pack several canisters of Nuun electrolyte tablets. We can pop one of these tablets in our water bottle, fill it up, and have a nice-tasting and reinvigorating drink in about a minute.
You can currently snag a four-pack of 10 tablets for $18.51 — 38% off the typical Amazon price. Plus, save an extra 25% off through Subscribe & Save. Or see all of the discounted Nuun options here.
Shoe Insoles
During our travels, we walk a lot — averaging well over 10,000 steps a day. In addition to good shoes, I find supporting insoles to be well worth the price. I've been using Superfeet insoles for over a decade, specifically the blue version to help support my flat feet. For Amazon Prime Day, most Superfeet insoles are 25% off.
Compression Socks
Blood clots are a hazard of long-haul travel. And I know all too well just how much they suck to deal with, especially overseas. That's why Katie and I make sure to wear compression socks whenever we fly for more than a couple of hours. These lightweight knee-high socks leave our legs ready for exploring a new city on arrival, rather than swollen and achy.
While the brand we've been using isn't on sale during Amazon Prime Day, you can save up to 52% off a three-pack of similar socks. After the discount, a three-pack of socks costs just $12.99 — or just $4.33 a pair. Buy it here.
Anker Power Bank
Whether you're hoping to work on the road or just keep your cell phone charged, having access to power is essential. That's why we carry power banks in our carry-on bags to ensure our phones and laptops always have power. The 20,000 mAh Anker power bank I use is currently on sale during Amazon Prime Day for just $31.99 — that's 42% off the standard price. Buy it here.
If you're looking for a bit more juice, here's an excellent alternative. This power bank has a capacity of 24,000mAh — enough to charge most cell phones several times. The 140W of power is enough to fast-charge cell phones and even laptops. For Amazon Prime Day, this power bank is discounted by 30% to $76.99. Buy it here.
Outlander Fold-Up Day Pack
Whether you're going out for the day or heading to a local store for groceries, a fold-up backpack is clutch to have when traveling. This lightweight flash pack folds down to the size of your fist but expands large enough to hold water bottles, sunscreen, snacks, and a whole lot more. With three different pockets — plus a hideaway pocket great for hotel room keys and a couple of credit cards — you can easily keep your stuff sorted.
During Amazon Prime Day, Amazon is discounting this flash pack as low as $15.32, depending on the color. See your options and buy here.
Melatonin Tabs
One of the clutch supplies we carry with us on every trip is melatonin. This sleep support supplement helps us doze off when we need help adjusting to a new time zone — or when a busy day of work still has us buzzing late at night. Just be careful if you haven't taken melatonin before. I recommend getting the 3 mg tablets and starting with one. If you don't find that effective, you can always double it.
During Amazon Prime Day, you can pick up a whopping 120 melatonin tablets for just $6.70 — which is 21% off the standard price. Buy it here.
