The Best Gadgets for Travelers. Part - 1
Best Gadgets for Travelers to Take with You.
Whether you're planning a weekend getaway, heading somewhere for a week or two during your vacation, or embarking on a longer trip, useful gadgets for travelers can make your journey quite comfortable. Often, you sacrifice comfort for memories and emotions while traveling. Clearly, you can't take your favorite chair with you on a trip. But the right items can help maintain a pleasant balance of comfort during your travels. Just don’t take them all at once—you’ll go bankrupt and look like a Christmas tree.
Drink Water Safely from Any Tap
LifeStraw is one of the essential travel gadgets if you plan to visit countries where it's risky to drink tap water. It's also very useful if you're going on a hiking trip in the wilderness. LifeStraw is a small water filtration device that removes 99.9% of bacteria (including Salmonella and E-Coli) and 99.9% of protozoa. You can filter approximately 1000 liters of water before needing to replace it. LifeStraw uses hollow fiber technology to purify water, eliminating the need for chemicals and iodine.
USB Reading Lamp.
A USB lamp is probably one of the most underrated travel gadgets. It’s invaluable if you’re staying in a hostel and need a dim light source for reading, or on a camping trip when you don’t have electrical outlets. The best part is that to use a USB lamp, you only need a power bank, so the traveler is not dependent on the availability of an outlet and its configuration.
Travel Pillow
When we know there's a risk of spending the night in uncomfortable conditions, we usually think of a sleeping bag.
A sleeping bag is, in a way, a symbol of travel gadgets that often appears on advertising posters of many companies. An equally important point that is often overlooked is the choice of a pillow.
Especially now, when we live in times when many people have neck problems, a properly shaped pillow can significantly reduce the risk of muscle strain when we are on the go and have to sleep in uncomfortable conditions. Depending on the option we choose, the price of a travel pillow can range from 1500 to 7000 rubles. This is an accessory that no one concerned about their health should forgo. In some situations, this accessory can even save the trip and allow you to return home without a painful and hard-to-treat injury.
Power Bank. External Battery.
On vacation, your phone drains just as quickly as you empty your Piña Colada glass. It’s understandable: your pocket “travel agency” is simultaneously looking for directions, taking photos, translating menus, checking emails, and handling a dozen other tasks. A traveler won’t have problems with electronic gadgets if they purchase a high-capacity Power Bank. With it, you can charge your phone, connect a USB lamp, a USB fan (perfect for long bus trips without air conditioning), a camera, or a GPS navigator. To always be prepared, toss it in your backpack. You can calculate the necessary battery capacity like this: check your smartphone's battery capacity and multiply it by at least 2. If you're heading on a long journey with a bag full of gadgets, grab a more powerful and larger battery.
Just don’t overdo it: you don’t want to carry a brick weighing nearly a kilogram, do you? Remember that external batteries cannot be checked in with luggage on a plane: they fly in carry-on baggage.
HDMI Cable
The HDMI cable is one of the top-notch travel gadgets for people who travel for extended periods. Often, if you want to relax in your room and watch TV, you can only watch some local channels in a language you may not understand. In this situation, the HDMI cable changes the game. Just connect your laptop or tablet to the TV using the HDMI cable and watch downloaded movies or series on the big screen.
If you want to connect the TV to your iPhone or iPad, you will also need a digital AV adapter for Apple Lightning. For MacBook, you can buy a digital multi-port adapter from Apple USB-C.
