An Unbiased View of Travel Guide (Must Have Travel Gadgets)

In the last guide we talked about simple packing secrets to help start

your trip off right. In this guide we are going to go over some of the must

have travel gadgets you should bring on every trip you take.

It doesn't matter if you are traveling for business or pleasure, it is

important to bring along some basic digital accessories to help make

your journey stress-free. Below are a few examples of some must have

gadgets to bring with you when traveling whether it's by plane, train, or

automobile.

Digital camera

Bring a digital camera. Choosing a camera to take on road can be

confusing. For instance; for travel snapshots, choose a point-and-shoot

camera that is ultra light and small but is capable of taking high-pixel

density photos. Check for cameras that also include image

stabilization, face recognition and vestigial viewfinder for quick snaps.

Small ultra light cameras are perfect for slipping into a jeans pocket.

Translator

If traveling overseas, bring at least a 12-language global translator.

This will help you translate foreign words into English and vice versa.

This is very helpful when you are traveling in countries where no one

speaks English such as Thailand. You may also opt to buy a high-

end language translator that has speech recognition and a hand-held

scanner for text input. The latter may sound more efficient but expect an

expensive price.

Power kit

Bring a universal power adaptor kit. A gadget that keeps all of your

electronic gadgets charged is a very important for any traveler.

Electronic stores have many adaptors available that fit just about any

type of handheld, laptop or USB device.

An example of this is the Tumi power adaptor that has spring-powered

retractable cable and a leather-trimmed carrying case. Adaptor kits are

very affordable with prices less than $200.

If you are going to a conference overseas, consider taking a

confiscation-free travel USB drive. The Swissbit Swiss Army knife with

a 1GB USB drive that can be detached from its super-hard knife

casing. This USB drive comes with the all of Swiss army gadgets such

as scissors, pen, knife, nail file, screwdriver, and light at a cost that is

not too pricey.

Bring a mini battery pack. The trouble with traveling with iPods or cell

phones is the battery drains fast. A mini battery pack is the solution that

technology vendors offer for a more convenient and pain-free travel.

There are different iPod/iPhone/Android battery extenders. A good example is the

Energizer’s “iPodPower2” because it runs on two AA batteries. This

battery pack comes with easy to use retractable USB cables.

During long trips by air, train, or boat, you usually need an activity to

pass the time. If you want to read a book or watch a movie it will be
a good idea to bring a portable book reader and DVD player.

Kindle is Amazon’s first-generation e-book reader and it is very useful

for travelers who like to read books because it serves as a veritable

library. It holds around 200 books and can read SD cards.

If you are in places like Africa which is packed with natural beauty and

Wildlife they might be no need for all this.

If you are into movies, better bring a portable DVD player. Nowadays,

people download not only movies but also TV programs. There are

cheap portable DVD players that are less than $100.

Take note however that if you are buying a player for travel purposes;

you may want to make sure it has a long battery life.

Make sure you look for your next guide soon. We will be talking about

how to relax and let things happen for more stress free travel.

Until then,
