1. Airtag/SmartTag

If you are a tech lover and are up to date with how technology can be used as protection and safety, you must know how this one goes. Airtags for Apple, or Samsung SmartTag, are small gadgets you can secretly place inside your luggage to track them as you come and go.

2. Power Bank

Nowadays, this is of everyone’s interest. Almost every traveler has a power bank in their hands as they travel. Some stick to their chargers and plug into the charger stations at any airport, but the perks of having a power bank are many. For example, you don’t have to stay in one place waiting for your device to charge, with a power bank you can move freely around the airport or at your destination. You don’t need to rush to a cafe to charge your phone.. You can also charge multiple devices at the same time.

3. Universal adaptor

This doesn’t apply to everyone, but if you are visiting Cancun, Mexico from somewhere in Europe, you must know that there are different outlets for which you require an adaptor. We suggest you buy this before going on your trip, but in case you forgot, you can buy them at the Cancun Airport

4. Multi-outlet

Now, if you are traveling for business and have more electronic devices, we suggest buying a multi-outlet. Having this gadget in your backpack will also mean you can have multiple devices plugged in as you move around the city.

5. Charger bag

Despite having a power bank, you must travel with cables. Remember the best way to use your power bank is in case you run out of battery in the middle of a tour or somewhere you cannot plug a charger in. As you travel, you’ll want your cables to be detangled and well-organized in a bag for easy access. You’ll surely appreciate knowing where your cables are at all times.

6. Photo accessories

A stabilizer and a tripod are now considered essentials for anyone wanting to share the best of their travels on social media. You can look online for some travel-size tripods and stabilizers so they are easy to travel with and you can carry them everywhere you go.

7. A functional backpack

When traveling, you’ll want to make the most of every saving space you can. Having a functional backpack will allow you to carry more things with you. You can choose a backpack according to your needs. If you get a backpack with a lot of pockets, it can help you to better organize your belongings. Having a special place to carry your gadgets, food, and water bottle can be of great advantage when traveling!

8. Collapsible Water Bottle

If you like saving up space in your luggage or traveling backpack you must get a collapsible water bottle. Just having a water bottle you can refill is good for you and the environment, as you stop producing plastic waste, using a collapsible one will save you up space when not using it. You can also choose a metal water bottle to keep your beverages nice and cold.

9. Document organizer

As you have your charger bag, you should also have a document organizer traveling size. This bag will carry all your documents, flight information, vaccine cards, and even cash, everything you need for the airport. Keeping all the important documents together is a must, you want to have everything ready for boarding time. 

10. Lock

This has always been a must, and will never stop being one. Some suitcases already have a lock integrated, so that’s already an advantage. As your luggage will be moving into so many places, it’s always better to add some protection to your belongings.
