Whether your travels take you near or far, there\u2019s a whole heap of nifty little gadgets that aim to make our exploring that little bit easier.<\/p>\n

From the downright practical to quirky alternatives, take a look at some of the niftiest gadgets that will make your travel much simpler, comfortable, safer and most importantly, more enjoyable.<\/p>\n

 1.) Perch your head on a Pockindo <\/strong><\/h3>\n

\"9<\/a><\/p>\n

If you\u2019re anything like me, you\u2019ll hate having to carry around one of those clunky neck pillows, especially when you\u2019ve packed too much and really don’t want to cart it around for the rest of your trip.<\/p>\n

The guys and gals at a European start-up, Pockindo have created a quirky solution to this problem, they\u2019ve transformed the little blow-up pillow into a pillow of dreams. Designed by some big wig, osteopaths and physicians, the Pockindo Travel Pillow<\/a> supports your neck and shoulders, all whilst taking a snooze on your long-haul flight.<\/p>\n

A little quirky and yup, you may get a few (envious) looks but who cares! A good sleep trumps any glances! Unless you snore! \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n

2.) You Go Girl!<\/strong><\/h3>\n

\"10<\/a><\/p>\n

Look, like it or lump it, we all gotta pee! There\u2019s no doubt that us boys have it slightly easier in the tinkle arena\u2026 especially when on the go when hiking, heading to festivals and general outdoor activities.<\/p>\n

One way to combat these pee problems is with a little contraption like \u2018Go Girl\u2019<\/a> which makes for an easier way for girls to tinkle on the go!<\/p>\n

3.) <\/strong>Play with your pet 1,000\u2019s of miles away<\/strong><\/h3>\n

It\u2019s the same for all of us, I\u2019m sure! We\u2019re itching to travel but we really don\u2019t like leaving our cuddly kitten or pup \u2013 they’re part of the family and it can be quite difficult to leave them behind. One way to stay in contact (and get your daily, nay, hourly puppy fix) is to grab yourself a nifty Pet Cube<\/a> where you can watch, play with lasers and even give your bundle of joy a little treat\u2026 even if you\u2019re halfway around the world!<\/p>\n

4.) Learn a language in a fun way<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Whenever I visit a new place, I always want to learn as many key phrases and sentences as possible, rather than just assuming everyone else speaks English.<\/p>\n

One really fun way to do this is with Flash Sticks Post-It Notes<\/a> that have printed vocabulary in a language of your choice, helping us learn languages really quickly. Yes, you might have a house filled with Post-Its but at least you\u2019ll know the language once you arrive (or at least enough to order a much-needed glass of wine). \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n

5.) Stay safe with travel adapters<\/strong><\/h3>\n

\"On<\/a><\/p>\n

We’ve all been there… arrived at a destination, forgotten our international plug adapters and hurriedly rushed to the shop to buy any charger that fits. One of the best types of adapters to get is one that is for ‘world use’ – meaning that the plug will easily adapt to fit the socket.<\/p>\n

Another way to make sure you are getting the right charger before you visit a new and exciting place is to check out this website<\/a> (Electrical Safety First) that details not only which plug you’ll need but also the correct voltage and safety precautions you should take. No one wants their substandard or counterfeit charges causing a fire, or worse!<\/p>\n

6.) Grab a good coffee, no matter where you are<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The team behind Wacaco have come up with a nifty solution to those morning coffee cravings when travelling on the road! All hail the Minipresso<\/a> that works with ground coffee or even capsules if you have them.<\/p>\n

Just add water!<\/p>\n

7.) Protect yourself from avalanches<\/strong><\/h3>\n

\"Edmonton<\/a><\/p>\n

Skiing is one heck of a fun sport! Swooping down the slopes, swishing between the runs and enjoying a little tipple off-piste\u2026 this is how all wintry days should be spent! I\u2019m more like a crab on ice going down the slopes but you know what, I own my rhythm and moves and still get down the blue slopes in one relatively unbroken piece \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n

On a more serious note, if you\u2019re an avid skier and love to ski or snowboard off-piste, then make sure to check out this ABS dual bag system by North Face<\/a>. Not only does it act as your backpack but also incorporates an avalanche airbag system that inflates on impact. Although, a little costly, this rucksack can actually save your life in, what is, a really dangerous situation.<\/p>\n

8.) Track your keys\/wallet or even bag<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Tile<\/a> is a cool little Bluetooth tracker that can be activated to ring when it’s hard to find, despite being nearby. It\u2019s perfect for those of us (myself included) that constantly can’t figure out where we’ve placed our keys or have checked in similar-looking luggage and need an alert or notification when picking up our suitcases upon arrival. As your suitcase gets close to you, it will noise an alert you which bag is yours. Easy!<\/p>\n

9.) Take advantage of Swedish design <\/strong><\/h3>\n

\"9<\/a><\/p>\n

Being Hand Luggage Only means that we always try to travel with hand luggage only\u2026 shhhh, we do cheat sometimes!<\/p>\n

One of the best types of bags I\u2019ve found, that fits within most airlines cabin baggage allowances is the Thule Subterra carry on<\/a>. Not only is its Swedish design a lovely thing to look at, it\u2019s also waterproof (you\u2019ll know how valuable this is if you\u2019ve travelled around London<\/a>)<\/p>\n

One other nifty feature I really love is the compression panel that allows you to squeeze even more stuff into your bag!<\/p>\n

I\u2019m one of those people who always pack way too much, so this gives me that little extra excuse to pack even more\u2026 for demonstration purposes, naturally! \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
