Whether you’re an experienced traveler or you’re going on your first trip out of the country, we point you in the right direction to help make your trip enjoyable, manageable and stress free.
Kindle for reading
Take your Kindle along for the trip to use during moments when you’re stuck at airports, long flights and for those lazy afternoons when you’re doing absolutely nothing. Catch up on some reads with this lightweight and easy to use gadget and make the most of your free time.
Earphones
If you are allergic to noise, then there are noise cancelling earphones to help you avoid crying babies or extremely noisy airport terminals. You can also carry your normal earphones as an alternative during moments when you just want to listen to your home-grown sounds. One of the things we never do in this digital age is part with our music and chances of you having access to a CD player are very slim, so pack your earphones and jam to your own sounds.
Multi charger
You need a multi-charger that can work for every gadget you have from your MacBook to your smart phone because between Instagraming your photographs and sharing every moment with friends on social networks, one of your gadgets is bound to die a quick death. So, if you don’t want to go a minute without keeping up with social media or friends and family, then go shopping for a strong multi-charger.
Cash card
You’re going outside of your comfort zone and therefore should avoid carrying cash on you, unless it’s small change for tips and such. Speak to your bank about the options they have when it comes to travelling – some banks have a cash card that is loaded with foreign currency. They may charge you extra fees for withdrawals overseas and you might still be able to use your debit and credit cards in whatever country you will be. Consult your bank and opt for a cashless facility that allows you to withdraw cash when necessary.
A head scarf
Besides it being a great accessory to have with you, a scarf might just help you adhere to the law. Some countries have restrictions on dress code where baring your cleavage, legs or simply leaving your head uncovered might be a criminal offense; so for those moments when you’re not sure and you don’t want to find yourself on the wrong side of the law, bring your scarf along.
