Picture this: You’re in Paris. You’re at the base of the Eiffel Tower. You look up and see how tall it stands, how massive it actually is and impressive it would look on your Instagram. You go to grab your phone to take a quick photo, but the battery’s dead and you won’t be home for hours. If you can figure out how to get there without Google Maps…
Not fun!
We’ve all been there. Which is why, if you don’t know that you don’t go anywhere on any holiday without at least one power bank, an iPad, or at very least a laptop, you’re kind of asking for trouble.
But worry not; thankfully there are brands and people out there whose sole purpose it is to make your travelling experience less stressful and more techy than ever before.
We’ve done a round-up of some favourite tech for your travel, and here it is.
SurgePlus International surge protector and adaptor
This baby has all the power socket fittings (most of them, anyway) and protects your gear from dodgy international standards, while still allowing you to plug in and charge everything you don’t have the right cord for. Life saver! Get it from Belkin.
BOOST CHARGE power bank with lightning connector
Available in 5,000mAh and 10,000mAh variants, it delivers a more simplified and efficient iOS experience solution by being able to charge the power bank with the same Lightning cable used to charge an iPhone. It’s small, thin and lightweight. Get it from Belkin.
