Tech gadgets should be essential items on your packing list. Without them, you will have lesser things to do which can make you feel the entire trip is boring.

Top 12 Tech Devices to Bring in Your Travel

Travel Wi-Fi Hotspot

When travelling, you are sure to want to connect to the internet because you want to find some information on the web, watch a movie and listen to songs online, and etc. The hotel usually provides free Wi-Fi but it is boring to stay in a hotel the whole day. If you go outside, it is hard to find places that give you access to Wi-Fi. The best solution is to carry a travel Wi-Fi hotspot. You can rent or buy it.  The pricing depends on the daily data speed allowance. Most travelers only use 1GB/day at 3G speed. If you are a heavy internet user, you may subscribe to the 3GB/day – 5GB/day plan. Some of the best travel Wi-Fi hotspots are Skyroam and TEP Wireless.
