I think that having the right tech can make a journey more enjoyable. From navigating cities, capturing epic landscapes, or staying connected from remote corners of the world, having reliable gear is essential. Your needs may vary some from mine so use this list to provoke thought and adjust it to fit your needs.
Chargers & Power
Staying powered up is non-negotiable. I rely on:
USB C Charger Block, 100W GaN 6 Port PD USB C QC USB A Wall Charger Adapter Plug Cube
This compact hub lets me charge multiple devices at once, and is great for rooms with limited outlets, whether it is a hotel or a cruise.
You can purchase it here.
Anker Power Bank (PowerCore 10K)
This power bank ensures I never run out of battery during long excursions, when I am away from the room. That is lightweight and pocket-sized, and can be recharged with the above charger when I get back.
You can purchase it here.
Cameras & Photography
Capturing the journey is half the adventure:
GoPro HERO13 Black Ultra Wide Edition:
The GoPro 13 is small and easy to pack, waterproof and rugged, with lots of accessories available, it’s my go-to for action shots.
GoPro 3-Way 2.0 Mount & Magnetic Latch Mount:
These are versatile accessories for creative angles and stable footage. The Magnetic Mount makes it easy to switch to other accessories.

Connectivity & Back Up
Privacy and access are key:
GL.iNet GL-AXT1800 (Slate AX) Portable Travel Router:
The travel router adds a layer of security to my Wi-Fi. Just a note though recently they have banned them from use on cruise ships.

SanDisk 4TB Extreme Portable SSD:
Need a place to make copies of the pictures when we are on the go fast, durable storage for all my media and backups. They are available in different sizes, and you should chouse one based on your needs.

Must Have Travel Apps & Software
Navigation, and translation apps: These help us on our travel.
Google Maps:
This is my go-to app for finding my way through an unfamiliar place, it gives me estimated times to get where I am going whether I am walking, driving or something in-between. It is on my phone and therefore usually with me.
You can try it here.
Google Translate:
Google has equipped this with hundreds of languages and made it available on your smartphone. This can come in very handy, when you need to communicate on the go.
