Top Ten Travel Gadgets
Whether you’re a keen traveler yourself or looking for the perfect prezzie for a globe-trotting friend, we love these ten gadgets that let anyone travel like a pro!
- Universal all-in-one plug adapter
Available in various models from a range of manufacturers, universal plug adapters have come a long way in the past few years! While they used to get a bad rep for being tricky to work with or breaking easily, modern versions are user-friendly, durable, and the perfect accessory for anyone traveling to various countries.
- Lumix camera
If you’re traveling to that once in a lifetime kind of destination where you’re hoping to get some great shots to treasure for years to come, you really can’t beat the quality you get from a standalone camera. What we love about this model from Panasonic is how portable and easy to use it is, so you’ll be able to take amazing shots without having to lug around loads of extra weight or baggage. If you’re heading to a particularly scenic spot, then you definitely want this camera by your side!
- Solar charger
Whether you’re heading to a remote beachside backpackers in Zanzibar, planning an epic safari holiday at an Eastern Cape game reserve in South Africa, or basically any place where a convenient power socket might not be close at hand, this is the perfect gadget to act as the companion to, well, all of your other gadgets! And if you’re looking for the perfect gift for a Millennial traveler, its green credentials will really make them smile too!
- Bluetooth Key Finders
What’s great about these handy gadgets is you can get just as much use out of them at home as you can on your travels! Use them to easily locate your wallet, keys, travel documents – and most importantly on your travels of course, your luggage. They’re also an excellent gift option for your tech-savvy friends.
- Four-point USB charger
This is a great gadget for families or couples who travel together and always find themselves fighting over who gets to charge what first! Light and compact, and complete with clip-on adapters that allow you to use it in over 150 countries, this nifty device lets you charge up to four USB gadgets at a time – giving you more time to enjoy your travels, and hopefully a bit less bickering too!
- Noise-cancelling headphones
If you spend a lot of time in the air, you’ll be all too familiar with the pain of putting up with a fellow traveler’s crying children, an overly talkative neighbor, or even just the general din of the plane. Noise-cancelling headphones are the perfect way to disappear into your own world for a bit!
- Weatherproof phone case
No matter how much you might like the idea of escaping life back home for a bit, no-one wants to find themselves without a useable phone on their travels. Give yourself peace of mind with a sturdy weatherproof case, which certainly looks a lot classier than keeping your baby in a Ziploc baggie!
- Kindle or eBook reader
If you love catching up on your reading time during a vacation, then the invention of the eBook reader has to be the best thing since sliced bread. With various models available, plenty of which are now pretty darn affordable, you can carry a whole library with you in your backpack for hours of relaxation. Now all you need is a pretty sunset, yummy cocktail, and a comfy place to put your feet up!
- All-in-one selfie kit
Great for solo travelers who want those jealousy-inducing shots of themselves in front of the world’s most famous landmarks, this clever combo combines a selfie stick (or monopod, if you want to sound fancy!) with a Bluetooth remote so you can capture shots at just the right moment.
- Outdoor Tech Buckshot Pro
This clever gadget combines a wireless Bluetooth speaker, flashlight and power bank all in one pocket-sized water-resistant package! With over 10 hours of battery life and a bicycle handlebar mount accessory, it’s the perfect little companion for taking in the sights.
