Travel Tech

Q: What travel tech do digital nomads actually need?

Reliable power, reliable connectivity and something to block out noise: a fast charger and power bank, a way to get online that does not depend on cafe Wi-Fi, decent earbuds or headphones for calls, and a laptop stand or phone mount.

Q: How do I stay online abroad without huge roaming charges?

Most travellers use an eSIM or local SIM bought on arrival, a portable Wi-Fi hotspot if several people need to share a connection, or their existing carrier travel pass for short trips. Compare the cost per day before you leave.

Q: What travel tech is worth it for a long-haul flight?

Headphones or earbuds first. After that, a power bank because seat power is not guaranteed and often slow, a phone stand or seat-back mount, and downloaded content saved before you board rather than trusting the in-flight Wi-Fi.

TRAVEL TECH

Travel tech is the gear that keeps a trip running when everything else goes sideways. At Around the World in a Rush, our Tech collection is built for travellers, commuters, digital nomads and weekend explorers who need to stay powered, connected and organised from the first departure board to the last train home.

Whether you are hunting for an outlet at the gate, navigating a new city by map app, working remotely from a cafe, filming as you go, or simply trying to find your charger in a packed bag, our travel tech is chosen to make the journey smarter and easier. The collection brings together portable chargers, universal travel adapters, smart luggage trackers, audio gear, phone accessories, photography essentials and compact gadgets made for life on the move.

Every piece is selected with the same test in mind: does it earn its place in carry-on? That means compact form factors, durable materials, sensible cable lengths, and the kind of design that survives being thrown into a daypack every day for two weeks.

FAQ

What travel tech should I pack first? ▼

Start with four things: a power bank, a universal travel adapter, a spare charging cable and a cable organiser. Those cover the problems most travellers actually hit — a dead phone at the wrong moment, the wrong socket, a frayed cable and a bag you cannot find anything in. Everything else is worth adding only once you know how you travel.

Can I take a power bank on a plane? ▼

Power banks must travel in carry-on and never in checked luggage. Under the IATA standard that most airlines follow, banks under 100Wh (roughly 27,000mAh at 3.7V) are fine, 100–160Wh usually need airline approval and are limited to two, and anything over 160Wh is not permitted. Several airlines have also tightened rules on using or charging a power bank in flight, so check your specific airline before you fly.

Do I need a travel adapter or a voltage converter? ▼

An adapter only changes the plug shape; a converter changes the voltage. Most modern phone, laptop and camera chargers are dual voltage — look for "100-240V" in the small print — so an adapter alone is enough. You only need a converter for single-voltage devices such as some hair tools and kettles.

Are luggage trackers allowed in checked bags? ▼

Yes. Bluetooth luggage trackers and smart tags use tiny coin-cell batteries and are permitted in checked baggage by the TSA and FAA, and by airlines generally. A brief 2022 attempt by one carrier to ban them was reversed. A tracker will not stop a bag going missing, but it turns "nobody knows where it is" into a location you can quote at the desk.

How do I keep cables and chargers organised while travelling? ▼

Give every cable a home. A dedicated tech organiser or electronics pouch keeps chargers, adapters and earbuds in one place, which means one item to pull out at security instead of five, and no more emptying a daypack on a hostel floor. Short cables travel better than long ones, and a single multi-tip cable replaces three.

What travel tech do digital nomads actually need? ▼

Realistically: reliable power, reliable connectivity and something to block out noise. That means a fast charger and power bank, a way to get online that does not depend on cafe Wi-Fi, decent earbuds or headphones for calls, and a laptop stand or phone mount so you are not hunched over a table for eight hours. Everything else is preference.

How do I stay online abroad without huge roaming charges? ▼

Most travellers use one of three options: an eSIM or local SIM bought on arrival, a portable Wi-Fi hotspot if several people need to share a connection, or their existing carrier's travel pass if the trip is short. Compare the cost per day before you leave — a week-long trip often makes a travel pass fine, while a month abroad rarely does.

What travel tech is worth it for a long-haul flight? ▼

Headphones or earbuds first — they change the flight more than anything else. After that, a power bank (seat power is not guaranteed and often slow), a phone stand or seat-back mount so you are not holding a device for nine hours, and downloaded content saved before you board rather than trusting the in-flight Wi-Fi.
