Top 5: Travelling Technology

Here are the five pieces of tech I like to take with me when im travelling around. Obviously there are a lot of other things that would be useful such as travel plugs, but here are a few things that could be something you'd never have thought of!

1. Obviously while you're travelling around the world you're going to want to keep up with the social networks, work, and other things that are important to you, and to do that you're best off getting yourself a small lightweight laptop, or a tablet. Depending on what you're requirements are will change what device is best for you, if you're going on a business trip you're better off with a laptop purly because a full sized keyboard will be incredibly useful. If you're doing light travelling and just want to check your emails and perform other lightweight tasks, you're best off getting yourself a tablet.

My Recommendation:

- Macbook

- Asus C300MA Chromebook

- iPad

- Samsung Galaxy Tab 4

2. Keeping up with entertainment while on the go can be exhausting. Watching your favourite TV shows and films on a tiny display with shocking sound can take the fun away from your favourite pass time, but with Chromecast, that isn't the case. Chromecast allows you to stream media from multiple devices to any television that has an HDMI input for just £30 (Amazon UK). Streaming could not be simpler especially when you have the next product in this top five!

3. In order to have a great internet connection on your tablet, laptop, phone and Chromecast, you're going to need some form of internet connection to make the experience a pleasure, that's where travel routers come in to play. Travel routers plug in to your hotel rooms provided ethernet port which allows you to create your own little network.

My Recommendation:

- TP-LINK TL-WR802N Universal 300 Mbps Wireless N Nano Travel Router

- HooToo® TripMate Nano Wireless Router

4. USB Power Banks are vital for travelling. I'm sure most of you know the disappointing feeling of your mobile phone or tablet running out of charge when you have no source of power. Well thanks to these power banks you will never have that feeling again. By carrying this small bank and a couple of necessary cables, you can charge your devices wherever you are!

My Recommendation

- RAVPower® 16000mAh Deluxe External Battery Pack

- EC Technology® 2nd Gen Deluxe 22400mAh Ultra High Capacity 3 USB Output External Battery

- Swees® 25600mAh 3-Smart-USB

5. Listening to your favourite music through tinny inbuilt phone speakers is one of the worst tech experiences known to man, and even wearing headphone or earphones can be a pain. That's why bluetooth speakers are becoming a must to any tech collection. You can sync any bluetooth device and play your favourite songs though a good quality speaker while on the go thanks to build in batteries!

My Recommendation:

- August MS425

- Bolse® 12W NFC Wireless Portable Bluetooth Speaker

- TECEVO T4 NFC Bluetooth Wireless Speaker

- Bose ® SoundLink ® Mini Bluetooth Speaker II
