Seven tools for travel that pack a punch

These hi-tech accessories will add a little more convenience to your
travel experiences
If you are an avid traveller, you know that things don’t always go as planned and you should always be
on your toes. But whatever bumps in the road you run into, the trip must go on. That’s why it’s better to
start your trip with devices designed to keep you and your valuables safe so when you fly home, you
are leaving with everything you came with and a few souvenirs.

A Bluetoothenabled tracker

Tile Pro

If you are worried about losing your luggage or carry-on bag, just attach this Bluetooth-enabled tracker.
The battery-operated device can show the last known location of your items and produce a sound that
can be heard within a 300 ft range. Tiles are compatible with iOS, Android and Google supported
devices.

A travel door alarm

Lewis N Clark Travel Door Alarm + Window Guard

This portable alarm system is a great device if your lodging situation is less than ideal or you just want
some peace of mind at night. Squeeze the metal blades at the end of the cord together and slip them
between the door and door frame, then loop the rest of the cord around the door handle and set the
alarm. If someone tries to open the door, a loud alarm will wake you and the neighbours.

A portable safe

Pacsafe Travelsafe GII Portable Safe

If your hotel room doesn’t have a safe, you can still stash valuables like jewellery and extra cash in a
mini safe like this. It’s made with stainless steel wired mesh embedded within a cut-resistant poly
canvas and has a cut-proof cable to secure it to fixtures or furniture. You can also keep it with you
throughout your trip or hide it at the bottom of your suitcase.

A portable charger

Anker PowerCore II 20000

It’s always helpful to bring a charged portable battery pack when you are travelling with a phone or
camera, or anything that uses a battery. The Anker PowerCore is strong enough to charge laptops,
tablets, phones and more. It also has two ports — USB-C and standard USB — and comes with a wall
charger. So it’s versatile for multiple devices.

showers. The touch-friendly screen makes it easy to use your device when you are in the water. With a
secure ‘snap lock system’, it allows you to submerge the device up to 100 feet deep.

A wallet with RFIDblocking technology

Zhoma RFID Blocking Travel Wallet

Keep your money, credit cards and identification safe with this small travel wallet that has 11 accordion
folds. The wallet is lined with RFID-blocking material, so no one can purposefully scan your
information.

A camera for memories in VR

Lenovo Mirage VR Camera

Your travel memories can become more imm e r sive with this virtual reality camera. It uses two 13 MP
fisheye cameras to capture a 180-degree view and allows you to share the content in real-time. The
built-in WiFi and LTE modem let you upload the images and videos to Google Photos or to live stream
on YouTube.
