Overview

Gone are the days when we could travel for weeks without needing power. When we left Australia in the mid-90s, we had no phones, computers, music players, portable speakers, or electric shavers. In fact, looking back, the only thing we needed power for was the element we carried to boil water for coffee, tea, soup, and noodles. Even the camera (we took slide film) took non-rechargeable batteries.

Fast forward to 2023, and we couldn’t survive these days without our smartphones, computer, watch/fit band, Tim’s shaver, GoPro, Digital Camera, a portable speaker, and everything else that comes with those – chargers, adapters, leads, and power bank. At least we don’t carry a drone yet, although we’ve met plenty of travelers who do.

This page is a work in progress. We aim to gather a range of information about electronics for travelers. (But we can’t hope to try everything out. So If you have any gear that you wouldn’t travel without, please let us know in the comments, and we’ll check it out.)

Section 1 – Provides resources and information on electronics and accessories commonly carried by travelers.

Section 2 – Links to other posts and pages relevant to electronics for travel.

The resources such as websites, products, and brands, change rapidly in this space.

We try to keep up, but please tell us if you know of products, services, ot tools you think are superior to those mentioned. We’re always excited to learn about and test new things.
