Summer travel is in full swing and we want to share the tech gadgets that we’re loving. Did we mention it makes our travel experience a lot more easy and more fun? 

Let’s get into it:

Portable Battery

It’s 2022, which means your phone going dead while traveling is unacceptable. Having a portable charger on hand is a must at all times. The Moshi IonBank 10K Portable Battery is sleek and will charge your iPhone over three times to full power. This means you can watch movies, listen to music, and podcasts and flip through your camera roll during your entire flight!

You can also share your charge with a friend by connecting a cable to the USB port.

Lock Your Bags In Style

Keep your bags secure with a super modern lock. The Lexon Guillaume Delvigne Nomaday Lock allows you to use your fingerprint to secure your bag. The biometric lock has the capability to save up to 10 different fingerprints.

Portable Speakers

Take the vibes with you everywhere you go with a portable speaker. Our favorite is the Sonos Roam. The speaker connects to Wi-Fi, is water resistant and each charge lasts up to 10 hours.

Portable WiFi

Stay connected while traveling with a portable WiFi hotspot. You can choose from a hotspot that comes with pre-paid data or one that you’ll need to buy a sim card for when arriving in your destination country. Our favorite is the Verizon Jetpack MiFi 8800L.

If you’re going on a road trip with children, a tablet holder for the car is a game changer. The holder fits on the headrest and keeps children entertained on their tablets, phones, and even game consoles. 

Travel Iron

You’ll never have to walk around with wrinkled clothes while traveling, thanks to a good travel iron. Hotels aren’t always reliable when in need of a good iron. Our favorite is the Steamfast SF-717 Mini Steam Iron. It has three temperature settings and is durable.
