Travel gadgets
Language translation earphones
Learning a new language is something that an awful lot of us have earmarked as a New Year’s resolution, only to forget about it come February. The benefits of being bilingual or at least being able to speak basic phrases in another language are a great skill to have on your holiday.
Fortunately, for those who just don’t have the time, new language translation earphones have been developed in what is a massive advancement in intelligent audio technology. Translating over 40 languages in real-time, the Dash Pro wireless earphones from Bragi will allow you to understand the other person and even let them comprehend you through your phone or another set of earbuds.
Using the app’s translation and speech recognition software, two people can enjoy a fluent conversation when both are wearing the earphones, or the app can translate it through its speaker. With a 30-hour battery life, this is a massive development in the world of tech and travel and will certainly make your holidays much easier.
Mobile Wi-Fi
While European data roaming charges may have been scrapped recently, it can still cost a fortune to text, call and especially use the internet while abroad on your mobile. These prices can lead to people avoiding uploads when they are onshore or using helpful travel apps.
Well, now, thanks to Mi-Fi, you can share your mobile connection from a single SIM with up to 10 devices. This great bit of tech means that you can connect your mobile or tablet to Wi-Fi signals like you would a normal router, the difference being that you are connecting to a cellular connection. You can buy your Mi-Fi device online like the TP-Link or you can pay for them over a monthly contract, like you would your phone.
Having your own internet signal may seem like an unnecessary luxury, but if you are lost in town and need to find your way back to the cruise ship or even just wish to take the best selfie to send back to your friends and family, you’ll be glad you have it.
Universal plug adapter
Living in the technological age, we all have a number of gadgets or accessories that will inevitably need charging. A universal (all-in-one) plug adapter will save you from digging through your bag through the collection of adapters that you have accumulated over the years from your many travels.
