Travel tech should justify the space it takes up
The easiest way to overpack is to bring gadgets that look useful but solve problems you do not actually have. Good travel tech is compact, easy to understand and useful more than once during the trip.
Charging accessories
A spare cable or compact charging accessory can be worth carrying because phones are used for maps, tickets, messages and payments. A Wearable Charging Cable Bracelet is one example of trying to make a cable easier to keep with you.
Portable printing and notes
A Portable Phone Printer can suit people who like physical notes, labels or journal material while travelling. It is more relevant for organised trips and creative travel than for everyone, so think about whether you will actually use it.
Privacy in public spaces
A compatible iPhone Privacy Screen Protector can be useful on trains, flights and in shared public spaces by reducing side-angle visibility.
Cleaning everyday tech
Earbuds and charging cases pick up dust and debris quickly when they are used on the move. A compact Earbud & AirPods Cleaning Kit takes little space and can help with routine cleaning.
What makes a travel gadget worth packing?
- It solves a problem you expect to have.
- It is compact enough to justify the space.
- It works with the devices you already carry.
- It does not require several extra accessories.
- You understand how to use it before you leave.
