Now we are able to get out and about we thought we would look at the top 5 travel accessories that you’ll need now you can get out and about.
These accessories will help make trips in the UK or abroad that bit easier.
To start with is a charging cable, and yes I know that does not sound exciting however we all need them. I don’t know if it’s just me but I’ve always got one bit of tech that needs a different cable than the rest, currently my toothbrush charging case if you’re interested.
That’s where this cable from Olixar comes in, it is a 3-in-1 cable that has Lightning, USB C and micro USB. This means that rather than having to remember each cable you simply pick up this one or better yet leave it in your travel bag so you’ll never be without one.
The next thing we have to show you is a battery bank, these things have saved me more times than I’d like to count. There is nothing worse than being out and your phone running out of battery so you can’t take any photos or find the best place to go eat.
Now with a battery bank you want to find a balance on size and weight but also capacity. Not much point having an ultra slim battery which only gives you 5% charge, and then you don’t want to be lugging around a battery bank that can charge your device 100 times if you only need it to charge a couple of phones when you’re caught short.
Below is one i would recommend for travelling
The next thing I would recommend is a decent multi port charger for when you are back in the hotel room. This is so you don’t have to fill up your bags with many wall plugs or have to decide what to charge as you only took 2 plugs.
This one by Ventev gives you 6 USB outputs so that should be plenty to charge up your devices and it has a 5 foot power lead so if the plug is located low down you can still place this on the table or desk in the room.
If you are planning on travelling to another country then you might want to consider this. It’s a universal plug adapter, so if you are travelling to USA, UK or Europe you don’t need to worry about having the right adapter as this has them all! Although not as powerful as the Ventev I mentioned above it does have multiple USB ports so even if you forgot a plug you should be able to charge all your devices.
Now the last one is only going to be applicable to the apple watch and iPhone users. This is the MagSafe Duo, and while it can sit on your bedside table and happily charge your phone and apple watch each night, it can also be the best thing to travel with.
Firstly you only need to plug one lightning cable into the back and charge both your devices, then when you’re finished you fold it in half and it magnetically closes and fits nicely into your bag.
