Tech travel accessories

-Power bank: There is nothing worse than being caught out with no battery on your phone when you are travelling. That is why a power bank is a must.

-Universal adaptors: Isn’t it just a nightmare when you arrive at your exotic destination to find you can’t plug any of your gadgets in? And miss out on posting that beautiful sunset? With a universal adaptor it doesn’t matter where you are you can stay charged and it saves on buying different adaptors for each country you visit as well as saving you precious suitcase space for all those souvenirs!

-Noise-cancelling headsets: Now, we’re not always lucky enough to be on a silent aeroplane, we’ve all been there when you just want to kick back with a good podcast, and you can’t hear it due to the other passengers, so a good pair of noise-cancelling headphones are a very cool addition to your aeroplane travel accessories.

Why not organise all the tech you intend on travelling with in a travel tech organiser and keep everything safe and organised. Forget about having to empty out your rucksack or suitcase to find that charger cable as you can now keep all cables and plugs neatly together in one place with a gadget organizer. These are essential for a stress-free travel experience.

We would rather spend more time lounging by the pool than searching for and untangling all those device cables.

Travel accessories

It’s not all tech here, comfort is also essential for a relaxing travel experience and here are some of the things that will make sure you arrive at your destination rested and recuperated ready for the fun to being. Let’s take a look.

-Travel pillows. Your best bet to getting some much-needed shut-eye on your travels is indeed a travel pillow, because let’s face it, a row of empty seats is unlikely, making the humble travel pillow one of the best travel accessories for long flights.  There are plenty of diverse types to choose from, from memory foam to inflatable, there is even a type of travel pillow that allows you to have extra space for your clothes if your luggage exceeds the limits.

-Smart luggage organisers, organising your luggage within your suitcase is a wonderful way of knowing where everything is and staying organised. Luggage organisers or packing cubes come in all assorted sizes and can be stacked inside your rucksack or suitcase to keep everything separate and organised.

Sustainable travel accessories: the “must have” list

Now we all know that travel has an impact on the planet. So that’s why it’s so important to reduce our carbon footprint wherever we can and be a more sustainable traveler. From the clothes on our back to what we pack inside our case, everything can have an impact.

Here are some must-have sustainable travel products that will not only be good for the planet but could save you some money in the long run:

-Collapsable water bottle: Single use plastic bottles wreak havoc on the environment, with tons of plastic ending up in our oceans every year. A collapsable water bottle takes up little space in your bag and is ideal if you want to keep your single use plastic to a minimum.

-Reusable straws: Now we all know that single use straws are a no no. Now we can get reusable straws made from bamboo, pasta, paper or stainless steel. Packing a reusable straw is a great way to contribute to your zero-waste travel as well as making drinking from cans and bottles more hygienic, which when travelling is something that needs to be considered.

Reusable fabric tote bags, bamboo toothbrushes and no plastic shampoo bars are all great additions to your travel bag and will most differently make you more of a sustainable traveler.
