Are you heading overseas soon? As a world traveller myself, there are some travel accessories I always take with me.
While most people focus on what clothes their going to take, I'm googling which power supply I need and whether I need to take anything special I can't quickly buy from the local store.
After celebrating Songkran in Thailand last year, a waterproof case for a mobile phone is something I now I always carry with me. You never know when you might need to keep your most valuable asset safe.
This list also includes two travel accessories I use to keep safe on the road including a RFID travel card that stops would be skimmers from stealing my credit card details directly from my wallet. There's nothing worse than losing your cash flow while on the road.
Lastly the best travel accessory when flying is the perfect way to listen to your own music and actually watch a decent movie without listening to the babies in the front row crying.
