Travelers need to carry the least amount of items and try to maximize the usage of those items.  Most backpackers carry with them a set of tools to help them during the trip, but we think they can improve their travel experience if they have tech gadgets with them, which will help them in different aspects while traveling. This post is for all travelers and what gadgets you need to be carrying.

Tile – Safety of your objects

The safety of your belongings is paramount. When you are traveling you are left with only your essentials. The backpack that you carry with you that has your clothes and maybe your laptop and your digital camera need to be kept safe. Your backpack may also contain your passport and personal identification details that are important. Locks cannot guarantee that someone will not steal your rucksack and therefore you need a more foolproof option to keep your belongings safe. The tech gadget that you could use is the Tile.

  • FIND KEYS, BAGS & MORE – Directly attach the powerful Pro to keys, backpacks, purses or anything else you need to keep track of…FIND NEARBY – Use the Tile app to ring your Pro when it’s within 400 ft. or ask your Smart Home device to find it for you. Tile…

Tile is a small device that you attach to any of your belongings and that can be tracked through your smartphone. It’s a small gadget that can be tied to or placed in and it won’t take too much space. If you want it to be inconspicuous, you could design it with stickers to conceal its identity.

Space has to be optimized for the world traveler. A lot has to be done with little space. A backpack can only have a limited amount of objects and its gets heavy. When it gets too heavy, then it becomes a hassle and you get back pains as well. Another aspect is safekeeping of your important stuff as well as ease of access to those things. If inadvertently you happened to have kept your passport in the bottom of your backpack, then you’ll have to unpack your entire bag just to get to the passport.

All this can be countered with smart wear! What if you had a more functional jacket that performed tasks for you or had dedicated spaces for your important stuff?

PowearIN2.0 is a smart travel jacket that has dedicated areas for different objects as well as inbuilt charging systems; RFID based blocking pockets for extra safety! With a smart jacket like this, all your essentials will be in your personal and even if you lose your backpack you will still have all your important items with you.

Nipper World’s smallest phone charger

We need our devices charged all the time, especially when traveling. While traveling your phone is used for taking a lot of photos, using Google maps to locate places, to take notes and basically everything else we do even we aren’t traveling. This constant use will drain your battery and sometimes may put you in a tricky spot when you have to call somebody or book a cab.

To help with this situation, people carry portable chargers. Portable chargers, although very useful, they lack one important quality that is needed by travelers. Size. Most of the time, the portable charger is bigger than the phone and annoying to carry and store. It’s very difficult to use the phone while it’s charging. To help with this situation two guys created the Nipper which they claim is the smallest phone charger in the world. The Nipper can easily fit in the palm of your hands and uses AA or AAA batteries to charge your device. 

If you prefer to use some other charging device, make sure it comes with a travelling case like this one. It will help you to carry it to your trips without fear of breaking it.
