A freelance journalist writing for Travel + Leisure is looking for travel packing products for a European train-travel feature, on 'how to fit enough for two weeks to a month in Europe by train' in a single carry-on.

 The feature will focus on practical, durable products that make multi-destination European train travel easier, particularly items that save space, keep kit organised, and hold up to repeated hotel changes.

The journalist is particularly interested in:

• Hiking shoes or lightweight hiking boots - comfortable for city walking, station stairs, cobblestones, and day hikes; ideally suitable for a range of foot sizes.
• Rucksacks/daypacks - ideally 20–35L, with secure compartments, comfortable straps, and enough structure for use as a personal item and day bag.
• Compression packing cubes and organisers - especially sets that include laundry or shoe bags.
• Softside carry-on luggage or travel backpacks - lightweight, cabin-friendly options suited to train travel.
• Merino base layers, packable insulated jackets, and quick-dry travel clothing - versatile pieces that work across variable European weather.
• Comfortable, versatile walking shoes or trainers - supportive enough for long sightseeing days.
• Hanging toiletry bags, leak-proof travel bottles, and compact wash kits.
• Cable organisers, tech pouches, universal adapters, and portable chargers.
• Laundry bags, travel detergent sheets, and quick-dry towels.

Please send a brief product overview, RRP, Amazon USA link, availability, colour/size options, and details of any review sample available.

Inclusion is not guaranteed.
