Whilst some feel taking gadgets away on your travels defeats the very purpose of going on holiday in the first place, many simply cannot live without their favourite technologies. To help you decide what to pack and what to leave behind, we’ve compiled a list of essential travel gadgets.
Smartphone
The modern day smartphone is now a given essential to nearly everyone going about their day-to-day life even when they’re not on holiday! It’s the perfect device to keep you in the loop with everything at home and snap a few pics for social media – if that’s your thing! If you do decide to take your phone with you, think about possibly leaving it in your room during the day to avoid interference from the real world ruining your day in the sun!
Portable games console
If you’re an avid gamer or the kids are tagging along on your next holiday, a portable games console is the perfect way to keep them busy on the flight! From board game style games to play or something with a little more purpose, you’ll definitely be entertained during your flight with this! Popular models are usually from the Nintendo family, such as the Nintendo Switch or retro gameboy.
eBook Reader
eBook readers such as Amazon’s Kindle are super popular now after nearly 2 decades of sticking around – and for good reason. They’re portable, easy on the eyes, reasonably priced, the batteries last for days and you can carry pretty much as many books as you like with you on your travels without ever increasing the weight of your bag. Just make sure you don’t get it covered in suncream!
Power Bank
For those who like to spend a little longer on their tech, an extra power supply is essential to your packing list! Whether you’re flying long-haul and need to refuel your tech or you’ve planned a bunch of excursions so you know you’re not going to be near a power socket, a power bank has you covered – and you can find really affordable options too!
Netbook/Laptop
Flights can be long and boring, and in-room entertainment might not always be to your liking, so guarantee you’ll always have something to while away the hours on by packing your netbook or laptop. You can watch movies, listen to music, browse your favourite websites – remember, most hotels have great WiFi you can jump onto for ease– you could even play a few computer games!
Whatever you decide to take with you, remember that you’ve brought your gadgets along as a last resort to stave off boredom for whatever reason, and for the convenience of staying in touch with the world back home. Just remember to pay local sights and attractions a visit, and maybe get a spot of sunbathing in there as well!
