Hello and welcome! Are you looking for some life changing tech devices for yourself or maybe for your loved ones as a gift? I am here to help! I put together this list of the best tech gadgets for travelers to get you some inspiration and to show you the things that I wouldn’t like to live without!

When traveling, I like to keep it quite simple and minimal, so this list does not come with a million gadgets to own, but only those that are essential for me and that I bring on basically every single trip. Also, this list contains a lot of great gift ideas for travelers, in case you might be looking for something for a loved one.

Noise-cancelling headphones

Isn’t it funny how you always end up sitting next to the screaming toddler on a plane? Even if you don’t end up with a crying baby next to you, being on a plane can be incredibly loud. Using noise-canceling headphones can be a true relief, especially if you want to sleep or need to focus. There are various models and brands, and I haven’t yet found my personal favorite, but in my experience, you can’t go wrong with those from Bose!

Powerbank by Kreafunk

I am a proud owner of the iPhone 8. Some say it is outdated but I am still holding onto it. Nevertheless, there is a little trouble coming with it: the battery on it dies insanely fast. What I urgently needed for travel days was a powerbank. And as I am focusing on functionality and aesthetics equally, I simply had to go for the Kreafunk Powerbank. It almost looks like a small pebble and has enough power to charge devices 1–2 times.

An Action Camera for Epic Shots

It is a funny thing that you need an Action Camera every single time you leave it at home and when you bring it, there is nothing to film! To be extra safe, I carry mine on body every time I leave the house…just joking, ok ok.

But indeed, all of the action cameras I owned are responsible for some of my favorite shots of all time. Nothing compares to seeing you swimming with a turtle being caught on film for you to remember it forever.

A Portable Speaker

Disclaimer: I do NOT support putting on loud music when you are disturbing someone else by playing it. Not everyone wants to listen to your music so play it only when you are alone. Places where you shouldn’t put on loud music are every single piece of public transport, beaches, and city spaces.

Phone music is awful; we have it for now. If you get the chance to skyrocket your music’s quality by a little device that fits into every backpack, then why shouldn’t you do so? Portable speakers come in every size, color and form and are just so so useful!

A Converter

Something that I forget every single time I am packing. It is not something that I think about every day, but it is definitely worth thinking about. In this world, we are divided by one major thing: unmachting Steckdosen.

Each time I travel somewhere with different ones, I will forget it and add another converter to my ever-growing collection. I bet by the time I am old, I can link each converter to another airport that I bought it at!

Tech Pouch by Peak Design

Well well, well, you also need something to hold all of your gear. The Tech Pouch by Peak Design is something that is on the top of my wishlist! It is made to hold all of your cables and items while keeping it clear and organized. On top of that, it looks super stylish and comes with much more space than usual pouches.
