Traveling? Take your Tech!

With the summer upon us, adventures lie on the horizon. After a semester of near-constant technological dependence for classes or amusement, it may seem a stretch to break away from electronics. For you or the tech in your life, here are a few gadgets to keep you going this summer!

Before you can actually hit the road, it's a good idea to have a few things around in the event that something goes wrong. For example, a dead battery in a car can ruin your day in mere seconds. For those who road trip often or just like to be prepared, there's the Cobra CPP 7500 JumPack. Coming in at just under $120 US, this is no ordinary portable charger. Using the included jumper cables, you can give yourself a jump-start when cruising the back roads or rushing to catch a flight!

While smartphones are useful for finding places to go and helping you get there, they do not tend to be nature-proof. The Travelon Waterproof Smart Phone/Digital Camera Pouch is great for just such an occasion. The lanyard and key ring help keep this pouch accessible, while the air and water tight seal and the clear polyvinyl help keep your smartphone accessible. The best part? These tech-savers usually only cost around $12 US!

Finally, we have the Bolt Battery Pack and Solar Charger from Solio. Whether you intend to live in nature or keep an emergency pack on hand at all times, the Bolt is a great choice. Dual solar panels on a fold-up design can charge USB devices or its internal battery, which can last up to a year with a full charge. While it does retail at $70 US, it is the perfect power source in a pinch.

I wish you all the safest of travels over the summer!
