CNET wellness editors' top travel essentials
Nature Made Collagen Gummies
"I hate being sick while I travel, so I like to take daily vitamins. I try to take Nature Made's Collagen Gummies every day, but I'm especially on top of it the week before I travel," says Caroline Igo, wellness editor. "The gummies taste like citrus candy and contain vitamin C, vitamin E, zinc and biotin. In addition to boosting collagen production, these vitamins and minerals play crucial roles in supporting a healthy immune system."

Beekeeper's Naturals Propolis Throat Spray
"Whenever I travel, I make sure I have this throat spray with me to provide immune support and soothe my throat. It contains bee propolis with vitamin C, B vitamins, iron, antioxidants and other beneficial compounds. The product is also third-party lab tested to ensure it doesn't contain pesticides or chemicals. However, while propolis has shown potential as a treatment for human diseases, more studies are needed. Regardless, I still enjoy taking it and find that it does soothe my throat after a long, dry flight," says Anna Gragert, wellness editor.

Barrière Travel Patches
"As someone who takes a handful of vitamins daily, I dislike taking bulky boxes to store them when I travel. I like that these patches fit anywhere in my backpack or luggage, and I don't have to worry about finding extra space for them. I also struggle with swallowing big pills, so the fact that I can just place it on my skin is a plus for me," says Nasha Addarich Martínez, managing editor.
Barrière's peel-and-stick patches release the ingredients over 8 to 12 hours. Its Travel Well Patches include ashwagandha, horse chestnut, elderberry extract, vitamin D3 and zinc citrate -- all intended to support immunity and circulation while combating stress and tiredness.

Sony WH-1000XM4 Headphones
If I could only take one item with me on my next flight, it would be the Sony WH-1000XM4 wireless headphones. Not only are they super comfortable, but their noise-canceling capabilities ease my flight anxiety (especially during turbulence). Wearing these headphones helps me tune out the world so I can relax and eventually doze off. Catching some zzz's on the plane prevents me from feeling like a walking zombie after landing.
These headphones have accompanied me on every trip for the past four years and will for the foreseeable future.

TriggerPoint Core Foam Massage Roller
"I always throw my foam roller in the trunk if I'm traveling by car. (If I could fit it in my carry-on on planes, I would.) After long hours of sitting in one spot, it's excellent for relieving muscle tension and loosening up the body," says Anna.
Dr. Gbolahan Okubadejo, MD, spinal and orthopedic surgeon, explains, "Sitting for more than 90 minutes without movement places sustained pressure on the spinal discs, especially in the lower back. This pressure can cause the discs to lose fluid, reducing disc height and limiting the ability to absorb shock."
Simple micro-movements you can practice during long-distance travels include shoulder rolls, heel lifts, pelvic tilts, neck nods, weight shifting, shoulder blade squeezes and elongating your spine.

Wet Ones Sensitive Skin Hand Wipes
"I use the Wet Ones sensitive skin hand wipes regularly and during travel because they are gentle enough to use on my toddler. After a day at the park or in a public area where we've been touching everything, these wipes are convenient and a good soap-free alternative. They also come in single packets, so I don't have to worry about them drying out," says Giselle Castro-Sloboda, fitness and nutrition writer.

Kirkland Signature Aller-Flex
"My allergies spike whenever I travel to a new place with different plants and trees than I'm used to. That's why I always travel with allergy pills to ensure I can enjoy my trip, rather than sneeze the whole time. If you have allergies, you know how expensive allergy medicine can be, especially if you pick it up at a grocery store. I recommend the Kirkland Signature Aller-Flex antihistamine because it's the same active ingredient as the popular brand Allegra, but for much cheaper. I can get a 180-day supply for only $34 rather than $28 for only 70 tablets," says Taylor Leamey, senior wellness writer.

Loop Switch 2 Earplugs
"I like to use earplugs whenever I travel by train or am on a plane (plus, they help me sleep better, too). I like that these earplugs snap onto your keychain so you don't forget them, and the design makes it look more like an accessory than an earplug. They offer three modes and multiple ear tips to ensure they're extra comfortable," says Nasha.

Systane Dry Eye Drops
"I have dry eyes as it is, but traveling always makes my eyes feel like a desert. That's why I carry these preservative-free eye drops in my bag. They were also named CNET's best over-the-counter eye drops for dry eyes," says Anna.

SkinSmart Antimicrobial Eczema Spray
"When I travel, I wash my hands as often as possible or sanitize them with a bottle of hand sanitizer. However, I have eczema-prone skin, and my hands, especially, are sensitive to repetitive washing, alcohol and other strong ingredients. I recently switched to SkinSmart Antimicrobial Eczema Therapy spray and noticed quite a difference. My hands don't get red, itchy and dried out. It doesn't contain steroids, alcohol or any fragrance, and it even calms scratchy skin. Made of pure hypochlorous acid, the spray kills 70% of bacteria linked to eczema. While it isn't entirely a switch for hand sanitizer, it is helpful to use afterward or in between. Best of all, it is accepted by the National Eczema Association," says Caroline.

Airborne Immune Support Tablets
The days before a trip, I take the Airborne Immune Support Fizzy Drink Tablets to ensure I'm getting sufficient vitamin C and zinc. I also bring the little tube and pop a tablet in my water throughout my travels to give my immune system the extra boost it needs. If I have any early signs of sore throat or congestion, these tablets help kick the symptoms to the curb. I also like the orange flavor and enjoy its fun, fizzy sensation.

Touchland Hand Sanitizer Spray
"Another wellness essential always with me everywhere I go -- especially when traveling -- is a bottle of hand sanitizer. While any hand sanitizer works great, I love the Touchland ones because they are quick and easy to spray, smell good and are hydrating. It's perfect for when an airport or plane bathroom is out of soap," says Anna.

Sprouts Women's Daily Probiotic
Probiotics can improve your gut microbiome and help keep bowel movements regular, which is why they're part of my travel essentials. One of my least favorite side effects of taking a trip is getting "off schedule." I try to take probiotics as regularly as possible, but I always take them consistently in the weeks leading up to and during a trip.
While traveling, you often eat food and drink water that your body is not accustomed to. A well-balanced gut microbiome can help prevent digestive issues and even promote stronger immune functioning, contributing to a more enjoyable experience. I have been taking the Sprouts Women's Daily Probiotic 20 Billion CFU, and they've made a noticeable difference. Check out our roundup of the best probiotic supplements for other quality recommendations.

Wet Ones Antibacterial Hand Wipes
"I never travel anywhere without a pack of antibacterial hand wipes in my purse. Whether on a plane or train or driving in a rental car, I will use these wipes to clean my seat and every surrounding surface. You'd be surprised how dirty I've seen these wipes get from cleaning a tray table on an airplane," explains Anna.
Studies show that some of the germiest places in airports and on airplanes are the self-check-in touch screens, lavatory surfaces (such as the flush button), tray tables, seat back pockets and overhead storage latches.

Tips for staying healthy before and during your travels
In addition to using our favorite wellness products while traveling, there are other simple measures you can take to ensure your best health possible. Dr. Barbara Bawer, family medicine physician at the Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center, recommends the following:
Choose a window seat (over middle or aisle) to minimize exposure to others
Wear a mask when using public transport and in crowded areas
Wash your hands consistently and wipe down surfaces with alcohol or wet wipes
Eat well-balanced meals leading up to and during your travels
Stay hydrated and always have water accessible
Carry healthy snacks like fruits and vegetables instead of snacks high in sugar or salt
Keep the same level of physical activity you had before instead of stopping completely
Make sure to get adequate sleep leading up to your travels
Plan your travel so that you can sleep when you normally would (such as an overnight flight)
Give yourself time to get acclimated to the new location instead of compromising on sleep

Why does traveling make you sick?
Sharing public spaces: You can get sick during and after travel for many reasons. One of the most common reasons is being surrounded by more people than usual, often "in enclosed spaces with others who may be passing things on to you when sneezing, coughing, etc.," says Bawer.
Lack of quality sleep: Traveling can cause your immune system to kick into overdrive due to higher stress levels and lack of sleep. Changing time zones affects your circadian rhythm, which in turn affects sleep patterns. Not getting enough quality rest can weaken your immune system, so it's important to prioritize sleep while you're traveling.
Changes in diet: "Most people do not eat well-balanced or nutritious meals when they are traveling. Many will also increase the amount of alcohol they consume or other substances, which can increase our chances of exposure to pathogens and weaken the immune system," Bawer explains.
Check the country's travel requirements
Bawer also emphasized the importance of staying up-to-date on immunizations, especially if you're traveling to a different country.
"Every country may have different recommendations for vaccinations based on where you are going, even within one country or the time of year. Many travel clinics can provide you with these vaccines and scripts for things like traveler's diarrhea or motion sickness medication to have on hand. Your physician's office can also help with some of these, but please note they often do not carry more specialized vaccines, as these often have to be obtained through a specific travel clinic," says Bawer.

13 must-haves to bring when camping with your dog, from travel crates to outdoor beds
Camping is a fun adventure for the whole family, the dog included! To ensure your furry friend has just as much fun as you while camping, be prepared with the right gear. Just like you, dogs need the comfort of a soft bed and a spacious sleeping bag. Plus, a tie-out lead, harness and water and food dishes are a must. Original price: $20.75 The number one item you should have in your dog camping gear is a lead or tie-out. This tie-out from Amazon is a popular option. It hooks between two trees, and you can connect your dog's leash so they can roam around more freely. They come in different lengths and colors, making it easy to pick one that best for your dog's size and personality. A harness is more comfortable for your dog, especially if they're going to be on a tie-out. This Ruffwear harness is extremely durable, even for dogs who like to pull. It has reflective strips built in, which is helpful when walking your dog around a dark campground. There are plenty of fun colors, so you can customize your dog's harness to their leash. An LED dog collar is ideal for nighttime walks with your dog. Campgrounds get much darker than your average street, so make sure other campers, cars and you can see your dog wherever they go. This collar can be shortened to get the exact size you need, and it's rechargeable. Give your pup somewhere comfortable to relax while you're in the woods. A good outdoor dog bed sheds dirt and water and won't trap dog hair. This Furhaven dog bed from Amazon is stuffed with foam to keep it comfortable. It's also reversible, so you get two color options. Alternatively, the OllyDog's Ridgeway travel bed is a lightweight bed made from soft microfleece that won't hold onto dog hair. When you need to pack up, just roll up the bed and clip it together with an attached buckle. The Basecamp bed from Ruffwear is also an easy-cleaning sleep mat option. It's a fashionable bed that comes in bright patterns, plus it has a waterproof, non-slip base. Your dog needs a sleeping bag just like you do! When you're camping in the fall, a sleeping bag will keep your dog warm and comfortable, plus it sheds hair, dirt and mud. An OllyDog sleeping bag rolls up for easy storage and is made from waterproof materials. Lined with a soft, breathable fleece, your dog is sure to sleep well while out in the woods. Original price: $51.99 A camping cot gets your dog off the ground, which can help keep them and their dog bed clean. An extra-large cot from Amazon can hold large dog breeds like German Shepherds and Retrievers. The cot is made from Teslin fabric, which is scratch- and tear-resistant. Original price: $74.99 Stay organized with a travel bag designed just for pets. Chewy's dog tote has separate spaces for dog food and treats, a pull-out tray with collapsible dog bowls and a huge inner compartment with separate compartments for leashes, toys and more. Travel-friendly water and food bowls are a must when camping with your dog. Amazon has a pair of collapsible dog dishes with carabiners attached for easy storage. Ruffwear also has pop-up food bowls in unique patterns. These lightweight bowls have a waterproof lining and durable shell. To keep the bowls clean, a washable dog bowl mat can help. It's a huge mat with a non-slip base. Being out in the woods is a lot of fun, but it brings mosquitoes, ticks and other bugs. To prevent your dog from getting covered in ticks, use Wondercide, a flea, tick and mosquito spray. Made from plant-based ingredients, the spray can be used on your dog's coat or on their bedding. Should your dog get ticks, make sure you have a tick removal kit on hand. The kit comes with a tick remover, tweezers for small, embedded ticks and a pamphlet that helps you identify different types of ticks, so you know whether you should worry about Lyme disease. If your dog is used to relaxing and sleeping in a crate, bringing a travel crate along can help them feel more comfortable. An Amazon Basics pop-up travel crate sets up in seconds. It has fastening straps that keep unzipped doors rolled up, so your dog can easily get in and out. Mesh windows offer ventilation on all four sides and secure zipper closures keep your dog inside when the doors are closed. Chewy has a similar, slightly more durable foldable crate option that's ideal for larger dogs. Plan to hike on your camping trip? Get your dog their very own hiking backpack. The OneTigris dog backpack has two pockets on either side for bags and treats. The cross-bungee cords also allow you to clip extra gear on. Ruffwear's Front Range day pack is a compact harness with two saddlebags on each side. There are three leash attachment options, including a V-ring, a loop on the back and a webbing loop on the chest. Original price: $44.95 Having a first aid kit on hand for your pet is always a good idea when you're camping or hiking. This first aid kit from Amazon is vet-endorsed and includes a dog thermometer, a dog muzzle, a tick kit and bandages. The whole kit folds into a compact bag that'll fit in your luggage. For more deals, visit You won't regret packing an extra towel just for your dog. When rain comes or your dog goes for an impromptu swim, a towel is a necessity. Amazon's Bone Dry pet towel is made from ultra-soft microfiber, which is extra-absorbent and machine-washable.

I'm an American living in Mexico. I love it, but that doesn't mean every day is perfect.
In November, I traded the hustle and bustle of city life in Newark, New Jersey, for the tropical climate and beautiful beaches of Tulum, Mexico. I've never been happier. Even though I've lived here for less than a year, I don't think I'll ever move back to the US — but that doesn't mean every day is perfect. Here are some of my favorite and least favorite things about living in Tulum. I've enjoyed the lower cost of living My cost of living in Tulum is much cheaper than it was in New Jersey, in part because of the conversion rates between USD and Mexican pesos ($1 equates to about 19 pesos). In Newark, I rented a two-bedroom apartment for $2,100 a month, but now, in La Veleta, I pay about $600 a month for a one-bedroom apartment. I've found that my groceries are cheaper too, especially when I shop locally. In the US, I would spend about $150 a week on groceries, compared to about $80 a week in Tulum. My life in Tulum feels far more peaceful and relaxed As a model, content creator, and host, I worked 12 hours a day while living in New Jersey. Although I was filming, editing, applying to campaigns, and answering emails nonstop, I was barely making enough income to afford my rent, groceries, and bills. If I didn't pick up enough jobs, I wouldn't be able to cover my living expenses. I felt stuck. Meanwhile, I've found that the lower cost of living in Tulum enables me to work less. I can take my time creating and posting content, edit on a consistent but relaxed schedule, and listen to my body's needs. Although I don't have quite as many opportunities in Tulum — yet — I enjoy my job more now because I have the free time to be creative and build a greater appreciation for what I do. Outside work, I've also enjoyed participating in Tulum's active wellness community through yoga classes and meditation circles. I love being surrounded by so many people who seem focused on inner growth, and I have found it to be very inspiring. I feel more connected to nature, too Living in Newark, I was used to luxury apartments and high-rise buildings lining the streets. Meanwhile, in Tulum, nature feels like part of my experience everywhere I go, from riding down Avenida Tulum to eating at outdoor cafés. Trees, vines, and other plants surround my apartment, so I feel connected to nature even when I'm home. I also like that the beaches in Tulum seem to have clearer water and appear much cleaner than the popular ones I visited in New Jersey. However, I miss having access to all of the same products I used in the US Since moving to Tulum, I've realized that I took a lot of massive stores in the US for granted — it's harder to find one-stop shops filled with tons of options here. Although my groceries are cheaper now, I have to shop at more locations to get everything I need. In the US, I could go to one big supermarket. It's also much harder to stock up on my beloved makeup and beauty products. Although Amazon ships here, there isn't a Sephora in Tulum, so I have to travel an hour to Playa del Carmen to get things like Fenty Beauty foundation and my preferred edge control and mousse for my hair. However, for most other essentials like toilet paper or protein powder, I've just switched to brands that are easily available locally. I've learned to adapt to the different power grids and septic systems Tulum's infrastructure can be more inconsistent than what I was used to in Newark, in part due to differences in the city's septic systems and electricity grids. For example, in some areas, toilet paper shouldn't be flushed because it can clog the pipes. In general, I've noticed the toilets here tend to clog more easily than they did back home. Additionally, I've gotten used to frequent power outages (about three times a month) due to maintenance or storms. Fortunately, though, my power usually returns within a few hours. Friends and others who've recently moved to Tulum have told me they've dealt with similar issues. It's not ideal, but I've learned to adapt. When these things happen, I either wait for the services to return or go to a local café for a few hours. Still, there's nowhere else I'd rather be Despite the challenges, the peace, beauty, and community make living in Tulum worth it for me. I've learned so much about myself since moving here, and I'm excited to continue building my brand and increasing my income. Someday, I'd like to move to another country that's even farther away from the US, but for now, I think Tulum is perfect for me and my journey. Tulum doesn't just feel like another adventure — it feels like home.

12 Genius Products To Help Hot Sleepers Get Better Rest
As a longtime hot sleeper, I understand firsthand how difficult it is to get quality z's when it seems as though your body has a built-in sauna. Plus, in summer, sleep is bound to be even more sweaty and less comfortable. But by making a few changes to your sleeping setup, you can be on your way to a cooler snooze session in no time. Some of these tweaks include swapping out heavier sheets and comforters for more lightweight, breathable options and enlisting the help of a powerful tower fan to keep air circulating around your bedroom. You can find these hot sleeper solutions and more on our list below, which contains reviewer-approved items that may help you achieve a more comfortable (and cooler) night's sleep.

And weeks into use, I can say that we love this mattress. It's amazing what better sleep can do to one's quality of life. If this mattress is at the top of your list, get it here direct from Serta." —CA_JimGet it from Serta for $1,599.99+ (available in sizes twin–California king and four firmness levels). A cooling mattress topper reviewers say also helps with back pain Solve two problems in one with this cooling mattress topper that, according to reviews, both keeps hot sleepers cool through the night and "eliminated back pain" for one shopper. The topper comes in nine colors and sizes twin to California king. The embossed topper has a three-zone design to regulate temperature and provide support. The deep pocket stretches up to 21 review: "We purchased a new bed and really like the support and pretty much everything else. After a week of actually sleeping on it we realized how hot it was and kept waking us up during the night. I started looking at different toppers but was hesitant because of how much we had already spent on the mattress. On one of these nights, I sat up grabbed my phone and got on Amazon. I spent about 30 minutes reviewing comments and prices before purchasing this one. It has been 3 nights of awesome sleep! My husband and I both have said, it's a game changer. We still have the support of the memory foam but not the more waking up sweating, it's soft and the price point is perfect!" —Me llamoGet it from Amazon for $34.99+.

It comes in several colors, including beige, blue, dark gray, green and pink and from sizes 51 inches by 67 inches to 90 inches by 108 inches. Promising review: "My girlfriend is a werewolf, and she radiates heat like a nuclear reactor. She sleeps with a very small cheap anime throw blanket, the central a/c at 60, and a fan full blast that could make a tornado change direction - and yet she is still hot. Then I got her this blanket and today I woke up with the fan at only half power and I could actually feel my face, she sleeps so soundly and comfortably and doesn't heat up as much. The silky side retains a pretty constant cool feeling throughout the night and just feels really great. Overall, If you're a hot sleeper, this is the one. Highly recommend." —Emil NovoaGet it from Amazon for $24.83+.

It comes in a huge range of colors, including gray, pink, purple, blue, black and red and in women's sizes S–4X. Promising review: "I can't say enough about these PJs! I've told a lot of ppl about them and I've purchased several different styles for myself! These pjs are super soft, cooling, and lightweight. I run hot in the night and these pjs have helped with the night sweats and uncomfortable stickiness." —Bonny BGet them from Amazon for $33.99+. A lightweight down alternative comforter Brooklinen offers its top-rated down comforter in a variety of weights, including a summer-friendly lightweight option. The lightweight choice features down cluster fill with a cotton sateen shell that is antimicrobial and hypoallergenic. It comes in three sizes, from twin/twin XL to king/California review: "This comforter is like a cloud. Never have I ever been more excited to get into bed. I bought it because I run hot when I sleep and I have no regrets. I was worried that my 20 lb weighted blanket and 80 lb couch potato dog would depress the filling, but it survived the test and is still as wondrously fluffy as when I first unpacked it." —Andrea it from Brooklinen for $143.65+ (originally $169+). An oscillating fan to keep your room cool The Pelonis 40-inch oscillating tower fan saves me every summer and its narrow design makes it perfect for small spaces. It has three pre-set modes: natural, which mimics the less-predictable rhythm of an outdoor breeze; sleep, which starts off strong and slows down gradually as you drift off; and normal, which is, well, normal. It also has three intensity settings (low, middle, and high), along with an 'eco' energy-saving setting. It also comes with a battery-operated remote control (just remember to buy your own batteries, since they aren't included). Promising review: "Using this fan in my bedroom and it has been GREAT! Much quieter than old style floor fan and the ECO and sleep modes work very well. There's all types of bells and whistles on this fan, but so far each feature has been great. My sleep quality has definitely improved since the air circulation is more evenly distributed and I don't have to constantly adjust the fan. The fan is not loud; just a low enough hum. But, I've always liked the white noise of a fan. I'm also dealing with the occasional hot flashes, so this fan is plus. I absolutely won't be able to go back to a window or circle oscillation fan. I'm a tower fan convert." —ALAGet it from Amazon for $63.60+ (available in two colors). A set of reviewer-beloved cooling sheets under $60 in all sizes Many sheet sets under $60 are microfiber, but if you prefer the cooling effect of bamboo sheets, we found an affordable option in this Shilucheng sheet set, which is made with a rayon blend derived from bamboo. They come in a ton of colors and sizes full to California king. When picking your mattress size, you can also choose between a four- or six-piece set, which includes two extra pillowcases in addition to the standard two, a flat sheet and a fitted sheet. The rayon and polyester blend is heat- and moisture-absorbing to leave you cool and dry, and hot sleepers have raved about the sheets' cooling properties in the them from Amazon for $36.99+.

It uses funneled ventilation to automatically adjust the temperature in your bed for each hour of the night. You can still use your own sheets other bedding that you already have or use the BedJet sheets that are specifically designed to distribute more air from the funnel. You can also get on-demand cooling or heating thanks to the included remote review: "I get extremely hot when I sleep to the point of sweating and it's gotten to be almost a daily thing. For the last few years, I had been sleeping on top of my comforter with only a small blanket because I would get too hot sleeping under a comforter. When even that began to feel too hot during the summer, I got the bed jet to cool my bed and now I can comfortably sleep under a comforter and still remain cool. One of the best purchases I have ever made." —Janet ClarkGet it from Amazon for $552. A cooling memory foam pillow Tempur-Pedic's Tempur-Cloud Breeze dual cooling pillow has a gel layer on both sides to promote cool sleeping and is made of pressure-relieving materials that provide comfort for your neck, head and shoulders. It comes in a queen or king review: "LOVE this pillow! I get sooo hot at night and have had to always flip my pillows several times a night! This pillow keeps me cool ALL night! I'm mostly a stomach and side sleeper and it is soft enough to do that; but it also is firm enough when I'm on my back reading or watching TV! Highly recommend!!!" —Paul GandyGet it from Amazon for $92.99+.

It checks all my boxes and is a major win for the price!" —KelseyGet it from Amazon for $29.98+.

They come in nine colors and 11 sizes up to 52 inches by 95 review: "We are having a heat wave, and these do a great job of blocking out the heat from the sun. They block out most of the light. I will probably buy more of these for other windows that I am using different coverings on. We are staying cool, and saving money on the electric bill!" —Amazon customerGet them from Amazon for $22.99+.
