The 10 most useful tra­vel gadgets

Share article:

One of the big­gest ques­ti­ons befo­re every trip is pro­ba­b­ly what and how much to pack in your suit­ca­se. Here you can find out which uten­sils are real­ly useful and should be in your lug­ga­ge on your next trip.

Uni­ver­sal adapter

Other count­ries, other plugs.

If you are tra­ve­ling to a for­eign coun­try or seve­ral count­ries at once, you need to con­sider the type of socket in the desti­na­ti­on coun­try before­hand. With a uni­ver­sal adap­ter, you are ide­al­ly equip­ped for every coun­try and every socket in the world. It is best to opt for a ver­si­on with addi­tio­nal USB ports so that you can also use the adap­ter as a mul­ti­ple plug and char­ge seve­ral devices at the same time.

Inflata­ble neck cushion

A long flight or a long bus or car jour­ney is often unavo­ida­ble on long-distance trips. We have the solu­ti­on for you so that you don’t get a stiff neck or can sleep more com­for­ta­b­ly even on long jour­neys. A neck pil­low sup­ports our head and pre­vents it from tip­ping to one side while we sleep. Inflata­ble neck pil­lows also save space in your bag, so they fit in any hand lug­ga­ge and are quick­ly rea­dy for use with litt­le effort.

Fan­ny pack

To keep valu­ables such as your pass­port and money with you at all times, we recom­mend a bum bag, which is curr­ent­ly expe­ri­en­cing a fashionable resur­gence thanks to the latest coll­ec­tions from well-known desi­gners. For tho­se who are not yet enthu­si­a­stic about the trend, the­re are bags in an extra-thin design espe­ci­al­ly for tra­ve­ling. Put a T‑shirt or swea­ter over it and the bag is bare­ly reco­gnizable and pro­tects your valu­ables from pickpockets.

Sun cream as a hiding place for valuables

We’­ve all been the­re: the sun is shi­ning and you need to cool off in the sea, but whe­re to put your valu­ables? Most peo­p­le car­ry a tube of sun cream with them on a day at the beach, so it does­n’t attract much atten­ti­on. The per­fect place for a hiding place. The tubes for valu­ables are available to buy or are easy to make yours­elf. Sim­ply wash out an old sun cream cover and cut open the top edge so that the lid can still be ope­ned and clo­sed. A lar­ge tube is best for this, so that a cell pho­ne can also fit in. To avo­id noi­ses such as a bunch of keys or money, sim­ply put a hand­ker­chief in the box.

Water­pro­of cell pho­ne case

Boat trips or kay­ak tours are often on the pro­gram during vaca­ti­ons. If you don’t want to do wit­hout your cell pho­ne or came­ra despi­te the water, the­re are spe­cial water­pro­of cell pho­ne cases available. The­re are also water­pro­of bags for lar­ger items, which can easi­ly accom­mo­da­te pass­ports and other items and pro­tect them from get­ting wet.

Pack­ing sys­tems for the suitcase

Espe­ci­al­ly when tra­ve­ling with a back­pack, soo­ner or later you get annoy­ed by the mess in your back­pack and the fact that you have to search for every litt­le thing. So-cal­led pack­ing sys­tems help you to orga­ni­ze your lug­ga­ge and avo­id poten­ti­al cha­os. The sys­tems are available in dif­fe­rent sizes, so you can use the lar­ger ones for clo­thes and smal­ler ones for tech­ni­cal equip­ment or your first-aid kit. You can also save space in your ruck­sack or suit­ca­se with com­pres­si­ble pack­ing aids. After your first trip with the gar­ment bags, you won’t want to tra­vel wit­hout them again.

Pla­s­tic box and spork

A pla­s­tic box when tra­ve­ling is a real all-round item. This means you can easi­ly take snacks or lef­to­vers from your break­fast with you on hikes or excur­si­ons. If you are not using the box for food, it can also be used for other items such as medi­ci­nes or as pro­tec­tion for cos­me­tics that could leak. The­re are also foldable ver­si­ons that take up litt­le space in your lug­ga­ge. Spoons are ide­al in com­bi­na­ti­on with a pla­s­tic box. A spoon is a com­bi­na­ti­on of a fork and a spoon, ide­al­ly with a kni­fe, and is the­r­e­fo­re also a useful item for eating on the go.

Foldable drin­king bottle

If you tra­vel a lot, espe­ci­al­ly in sou­thern regi­ons, you should also drink a lot. A foldable drin­king bot­t­le is wort­hwhile to save space. It takes up litt­le space in your lug­ga­ge and you can car­ry it with you at all times so you can con­stant­ly refill it with drin­king water. Even at air­port secu­ri­ty checks, the bot­t­le can sim­ply be rol­led up and sto­wed in your hand lug­ga­ge after you have finis­hed drin­king. You are also doing some­thing for the envi­ron­ment by avo­i­ding unneces­sa­ry pla­s­tic waste.
