Digital Travel

A few handy travel gadgets

e-readers

Worried about paying extra for your heavy suitcase, then the Travellers Club might have the answer to help you lighten the load. With an e-reader you can upload all your reading material onto one small digital device, which can be as small as a slim hardback. With this handy little gadget you’ll be able to leave the collection of guidebooks and novels at home. There are many different options available, they don’t come cheap but if you do a lot of reading whilst on holiday then this might be worth the investment in the long run.

Satnav

Now there’s no need to get lost whilst on your travels anymore with the newer satnav models available to download to your mobile phone, which also means one less thing to carry.

Solar panel mobile phone charger

If you’re travelling to a part of the world that is unlikely to have a mains electricity supply then this charger powered by its own solar panel might come in very useful to ensure you can keep your mobile topped up in case of emergency.

In car kettle

If you don’t want to waste time whilst on the road but in need of a cup of tea, then this might be the perfect gadget for you. Just plug it into the cigarette lighter and drop in a teabag, as simple as that. (Just add milk to taste).

iPhone torch apps

Going camping but forgot your torch, don’t worry there are plenty of free torch apps available to download straight to your phone.

Solar torch

Charge it up during the day to easily find your way around at night.

Wind-up headlight

If you’re heading to a festival or on a camping trip then a head light will come in handy for heading to the portaloos at night or reading in bed and a wind up version will eliminate the hassle of batteries.

Portable MP3 speakers

Tiny portable speaker systems with a built in battery that can be charged via USB which could be a nice little extra on your holiday.

It’s not a good idea to leave your keys and valuables unattended on the beach when you go for a swim, especially if you’re travelling alone. So this handy little pouch could be the perfect accessory to keep everything dry and safe.
