Travel tech in the strict sense: the adapters, converters, luggage scales and small problem-solvers that only exist because people travel. At Around the World in a Rush, this is the heart of the Tech collection.
A universal travel adapter is the single most useful thing in this category — one plug that works across most of the world, so you are not hunting a hardware shop on day one. Add a digital luggage scale and you stop guessing at the check-in desk, which is where excess baggage fees are actually decided.
Round it out with Power & Charging for the batteries, and Tech Organizers so none of it ends up loose in the bottom of a bag.

FAQ
Do I need a travel adapter or a voltage converter?▼
An adapter 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. Converters are only for single-voltage devices such as some hair tools and kettles.
Will one universal adapter work everywhere?▼
A good universal adapter covers the majority of destinations, but not literally every socket on earth — a few countries use less common types. Check the plug type for your destination before you fly rather than assuming.
Is a luggage scale actually worth packing?▼
If you check a bag, yes. It weighs almost nothing, and knowing you are two kilos over before you leave the hotel is far cheaper than finding out at the counter. It matters most on the return leg, when the bag has grown.
