Travel Goods For the Road (and home!)

It’s just about at the season where we all starting hitting the road. Memorial Day is right around the corner!
Hope you have your tickets, are all gassed up, or just have the itinerary laid out.
Here is a round-up of a few things that may help you enjoy your trip just a little bit more.
Plus some of these items are good, right around the local front.

Twelve South Air Fly

Soundcore Translating Ear Pods

Anker Mag Safe battery, 10,000 mAh

Ulanzi MagSafe Phone Stand

Rolling Square Multi Tip charging cable

Rolling Square AirCard Pro

First up is one of my all time faves, the Twelve South Air Fly
When you are on the plane, might as well enjoy the carriers content wirelessly!
Seats are not getting any bigger, and not being tangled up in wires is the best!
Blue Tooth connect your headphones, and you are free as a bird.


You know, I will not use airpods on a plane, too easy to lose, and seat mates can hear the sound spill, so choose your over ear earphones with care.
Personal fave is the Sony.
But… last year Anker came out with a set in their SoundCore line for under $70, that has surprised me for its superb audio quality, and features. Highly recco!
And the AirFly can also be used in the car, as you can BT connect your phone, and hear your fave podcasts, or music lists.
I give these out as gifts, and they are the best!

One other new travel item just came in:
The Soundcore AeroFit 2   is not only a solid ear pods set, but most importantly for those traveling to another country, it has AI translation!  Highly rated on consumer reviews as swell

I am low key obsessed with these! Not only superior sound and 4 mics, and comfortable, it will allow you to translate up to 100 languages! They can speak in their language, you hear it translating in your ears, and then hit a speak button on the app, speak you language and the speaker on your phone will do the translation. I have used this with people who work in my building, and at a local Mexican restaurant  and confirm it works like crazy! Plus the case is magsafe so you can charge without wires.

Remember the Seinfeld episode where Elaine a was being trashed by the attendants in the nail salon in their language? Yeah, this could solve that little issue.

Now I’m looking to use this on the subway so I can understand those around me.

If you are flying, we have seen flight delays becoming a common occurrence.
You need to keep your phone charged, if for nothing else, to get notices about your flight.
The smallest best battery that is always with me is this mag safe Anker battery with a whopping 10K mAh on board to keep you going.


If you are needing to charge your laptop, I’d suggest a move up to this Anker power brick.


Yep, heavier no doubt, but is has all of the juice you’ll need to power up all your devices, while you wait to board. And TSA approved!

Another unit that is always in my bag is this Ulanzi Carabiner with mag safe. Folds, lets me do a hands free phone zoom call, or watch content while dining alone.

It folds flat, and then opens up to hold your phone so you can be hands free to do a zoom call, watch content, or just scroll while having the phone securely held.

One thing that is always in my bag is the Rolling Square Multi-Tip charging cable. Basically with this, I know I always have the right connection. There is a magnet at the tips so it always stays tight and never tangles.

We all have tracking tags in our bags, and when you want one in your wallet, without a bulge, or just need a slim tracker, this new Rolling Square AirCard Pro is a great call and super affordable. Not only is a nice, loud audible device, it is rechargeable, with each charge lasting up to 12 months. AirCard™ Pro comes with an ultra-flat wireless charging lithium 220mAh battery. When it runs out of power, simply place AirCard Pro on a wireless charger and wait around 1 hour and 30 minutes for it to be fully charged and ready to track your valuables again. it also has a QR code you can customize with your contact details and use as a digital business card, or just as a lost and found extra info if someone found your item.

Thin, rechargeable, works with Find My, and QR code for contact info. Yes, works great with iPhone or Android!

So there you have a few items that can make your travels a bit easier, and they all pack small and play big!

I have used them all and do just what they say they will.

For these lists I only tell you about items I have actually used, so trust in that. Of course you can always return items from any of the stores that are linked in the photos!
