Travel can be draining for even the most seasoned globetrotter. But for introverts, who recharge best when they're alone, travel can take a real toll. 

Enter: You, the thoughtful friend or family member who wants to ease your introverted loved one's pain. The one who wants to shield them from small talk with their airplane seatmate, spare them from an overly chatty Uber driver, and help them turn their hotel room into a haven. Luckily, we've rounded up the introvert-approved picks that will help you do just that.
