I'm always looking for ways to streamline how I pack for a trip. Despite thinking I'm already a pretty good packer, I still think I can be better. Maybe you feel the same way.

Some of the best tips I've adopted into my travel routine are recommendations from friends and coworkers. So to help inspire you, I asked my Business Insider colleagues to share the things they always bring when they travel, and I got some interesting responses.

Some are seemingly random (an audio splitter), some are convenient (a pair of noise-cancelling headphones), and some you probably didn't realize you needed (a bottle of melatonin).

Check out our favorite travel picks below.

An audio splitter

Amazon

Audio splitters are key for watching movies on iPad with significant other or friend. — Antonio Villas-Boas 

Belkin Speaker and Headphone Splitter, $4.35



An extra-long charging cable

Amazon

An extra-long charging cable comes in handy when you're too far from the nearest power outlet. — Jay Freshwater 

Anker PowerLine+ 10ft. Lightning Cable, $17.99



A portable battery

Amazon

The sense of security a big portable battery gives you is invaluable. If I forget to charge my phone/tablet before leaving the hotel — and I always do — it's nice to know I'll still be safe to watch a movie on the flight, or have enough juice to call an Uber once I get off the bus. — Jeff Dunn

Anker PowerCore 20100 Ultra High Capacity Power Bank, $39.99
