Ethique Solid Shampoo Bar – TSA-Friendly & Eco Smart (pink)
When you live out of a carry-on, every ounce and inch counts. The Ethique Solid Shampoo Bar has earned its permanent place in my kit—not just because it’s TSA-friendly, but because it works.
No leaks. No plastic. Just solid, concentrated shampoo that lasts longer than a bottle and takes up almost no space. I’ve used it in beach showers in Phuket, boutique hotels in Bangkok, and stable apartments in Europe. My hair always feels clean, light, and healthy—no parabens, no junk.
Eco-conscious, space-saving, and rugged enough for real travel. If you're looking to cut weight and waste without sacrificing quality, this is a no-brainer.
I’ve been living out of suitcases and tack trunks for most of my life. In my late teens and early twenties, I traveled to Europe with my horses in pursuit of elite training and high-level competition. These days, I’m exploring Southeast Asia full time—and if there’s one thing I’ve learned, it’s this: not all gear is created equal. Items on this list have survived the test of time and travel.
The items on this page aren’t theoretical. I own them, I use them, and I’ve tested them on planes, beaches, jungle treks, and long-haul hauls. If it’s listed here, it’s because it made my life easier, lighter, or more comfortable on the road. These are the real essentials—no fluff, no gimmicks (but they look great), just what works when you live mobile.
