You can now buy these travel essentials to prep for your first post-quarantine trip!
As local and international travel restrictions ease, those beaches and new places you’ve been dreaming about for the past 6 months can soon become a reality. But, of course, traveling in the “new normal” will be different and you’ll most likely need a new set of travel essentials from the ones you used to bring with you pre-COVID-19 pandemic.
To help you prepare for your first post-quarantine trip, here’s a checklist of travel must-haves you should bring wherever you go, so you can stay safe while enjoying your vacation!

Since a face mask is now essential when it comes to travel and daily life, you might as well pick one that brings you joy. Mang Inabel’s washable face masks feature local weaves handcrafted by Inabel artisans from Ilocos. That means your purchase won’t just protect yourself and those around you, but it’ll also go a long way in helping out local weavers!
