I like to board a flight like I’m going on a camping trip. I’m prepared for every possible scenario. You won’t catch me buying another charger at Duty Free or realizing mid-flight that I forgot my earphones.
Having the right gadgets makes traveling SO much easier, keeping you (and your phone, laptop, and other essentials) charged, organized, and worry-free.
Here are 7 tech items that should always be in your carry-on.
Life360 Tile Trackers
We all know that sometimes airports can be a complete nightmare, and your checked luggage can even end up in a completely different city than the one you’re flying to (urgh).
These tile trackers come in fun, bold colours and are super easy to connect to your phone. And if you’re not sold yet, here’s my favourite feature: if you can’t find your phone in a room (happens to me all the time), just click on the tracker and your phone will ring… even if it’s on silent!
Air Fly Audio Transmitter
How many times have you boarded a flight, forgotten your wired earphones, and ended up having to buy a pair just to watch something? Or maybe you just prefer using your wireless earbuds or headphones?
This adapter plugs into the airplane screen and lets you connect your wireless earbuds or headphones, so you can watch your movies and shows no problem.
MOFT Phone Tripod Stand
If you’re planning on vlogging or creating content on your trip, you 100% need this.
This lightweight and compact magnetic card sticks to the back of your phone, and unfolds into a full 8 inch tall tripod with adjustable heights and angles.
Plus, it comes in the cutest colours. My favourites are the cobalt blue and the butter yellow!
Anker Power Bank
If you need to get work done while traveling (or if you just enjoy writing on the go like me), this power bank is an absolute MUST.
It doesn’t just charge your phone, but also your tablet and even your laptop. It’s perfect for those days when you’re hopping between cafés trying to find an outlet.
CALPAK Tech Organizer
I always travel with a lot of tech, so things can get messy fast. That’s why I LOVE a good tech organizer.
This one from Calpak has elastic loops for cords, plenty of pockets for smaller items like SD cards, and a handle that makes it easy to pull out of your bag. Plus, it comes in 16 different fun colours and designs!
Kobo E-Reader
I never travel anywhere without my Kobo, and if you’re a bookworm like me, you shouldn’t either.
You won’t have to carry around heavy books or take up precious carry-on space. Plus, with a Kobo, you can even borrow books from your library instead of buying them!
KODAK Charmera Keychain
This one’s not an essential per se, but it is a whole lot of fun.
This keychain is actually a fully functioning camera that takes vintage looking photos and videos. And the best part is: it actually comes in a blind box with 7 different designs!
I recently received this as a gift and CAN’T WAIT to bring it along on my summer trips!
So, what are your go-to travel tech essentials? Let me know what I’m missing in the comments!
