travel diffuser rec?

ISO

I'm looking for a small diffuser good for travel. I'm willing to spend more for an excellent one. Right now I have a diffuser attachment made by DryBar and I really like it. However, I find that hotels often don't have a compatible hair dryer so I pack it for nothing. So I'm looking for a good dryer, small, good for curly hair. Willing to wait until a refurbished $$$ model comes up if that's what it takes. I did get my hair cut a while back and the stylist had something amazing that folded and basically had an oblong ring look to it (like the Dyson one but that one's round). Not sure what it was. Recommendations?

Current routine:

-wash every three days. I use whatever's on hand, honestly. Clarify once every two weeks

-condition (Kirkland, thinking of switching)

-comb w. wide-toothed comb

-after shower, put in loose turban for a few minutes while drying off

-leave in (Odele), Unbrush, Odele mousse scrunch in, LA Looks blue gel with prayer hands, slight scrunch, clip up, diffuse for 5 or so minutes, let airdry the rest of the way.

-remove clips, scrunch

sleep with Buff (like a pineapple but made for cycling), refresh with water and a little leave-in
