Inspector Gadget: 6 of the Best Travel Gadgets for Your Next Trip!

Once you use packing cubes, you won’t go back!

Packing cubes come in all different shapes, sizes and colors – even clear! Use them to separate your outfits, keep dirty clothes from clean ones, or simply to neatly organize your suitcase.

I bring so much gear when I travel that a tech pouch really comes in handy.

They’re very similar to packing cubes and come in all different sizes. I love how they neatly hold all my electronics, tech accessories and cords in one easy place. This one can hold quite a bit, but zips open flat for easy access!

There’s nothing worse than losing your passport on a trip.

I know first hand…

Prevent that by grabbing a stylish and simple passport wallet. This one includes an RFID blocker to also protect your information.

A money belt is also a travel must have!

This versatile carrying case doubles as a money clip, key holder or tissue holder. There are interchangeable pockets with velcro mountings to fit makeup, credit cards, cash or whatever you need to keep close at hand.

An easy way to be eco-friendly is to bring along a water bottle!

Many airports have drinking stations so I always find it helpful to bring along a small travel water bottle. This one from Hydroflask is sleek, colorful and excellent at keeping drinks cold for 24 hours!

From our list of best travel gadgets so far, you might think we were exclusively about pedal-to-the-metal active lifestyles.

And while that’s true to some degree, we also recognize the importance of a good, solid, mid-vacation nap!

Whether you’re on an airplane, car ride, or even just want to catch a few winks in a park somewhere, the Ostrich Pillow is the travel pillow for you.

Its innovative design gives it maximum functionality, as the Ostrich Pillow can normally be worn as an eye mask, neck support, or even a scarf on a brisk day.

Designed with urban travelers in mind, the Ostrich Pillow is especially valuable as one of the best travel gadgets for Europe or any other densely populated area!

Unless you know exactly what countries you’re going to visit for the rest of your life, buying a world adapter plug is one of the smartest and best travel gadget investments you can make.

A universal travel adapter is one of the things I always pack – it’s compact, it’s sleek and it’s one device. Whether you’re heading to Europe, Asia, South America – you name it – you’ll be ready to charge up all your devices with just one plug!

Even better, this one has multiple USB ports that allow for simultaneous charging of up to 3 devices, meaning it doesn’t take long to get you and the whole gang all charged up and ready to go!

Any seasoned traveler knows the feeling when you’re either on the trail or spending a day trip outside and your charged devices ever-so-slowly die out.

No cool Instagram posts, no blockbuster photographs, no cute messages to Mom and Dad. In a phrase, utter despair.

That’s why the Anker 21-Watt Dual USB Solar Charger may not be the sexiest of the best gadgets for travel, but it sure as heck is one of the most useful.

The Anker Solar Charger can charge up to 3 amps per port under direct sunlight, can charge two devices simultaneously, and is constructed with durable PET polymer solar panels that can safely and easily attach to backpacks, tents, and trees.

It’s truly one of the best travel gadgets for backpackers or anyone who plans on spending a lot of time in the great outdoors!

Unless inside a museum or restaurant, visitors to other cities or countries should always be outside – there’s no better way to see as much of a place’s people, culture, and natural beauty than hoofing it outside.

Which is exactly why the Thermacell Rechargeable Heated Insole is a must for any upcoming cold-weather vacation.

Winter is coming, and there’s nothing more frustrating than being forced inside because of crippling cold in your extremities!

The Thermacell heated insoles use wireless, rechargeable lithium ion polymer batteries embedded in the sole (no awkward battery bulges or Velcro straps!) to heat your little piggies up to 111 degrees!

Plus, the Thermacell soles come with a charger that can offer up to 500 recharges, meaning one of the best gadgets for travel will keep you warm for many vacations to come!
