How to Travel Like a Pro! Here’s a Handy Checklist for Geeky Travellers!

Who doesn’t like taking a break from the hustle and bustle of everyday life and travel somewhere new. But sometimes adventuring into the unknown means you have to be prepared for curve-balls coming your way. Well, you are in luck. Dedicated to all the geeks out there, we present to you a checklist of things you must keep in mind to ensure that you get the most out of your travel experience.

Power Up

This should be numero uno on your list. Your smartphone will most likely be your lifeline during your trip – whether it's for music-on-the-go, streaming videos, social media or clicking pictures. A large capacity power bank (say, with a 20,000 mAh rating) lets you charge your phone multiple times. You can even use it to charge other devices like Bluetooth headphones, tablets and speakers. Try to look for ones with multiple outlets, so that you can charge a couple of devices at the same time.

Don’t forget your tunes

Music and travel almost go hand in hand. When you are out and about, there is nothing that lifts your mood up like a playlist of your favourite tunes. Make sure you don’t forget your earphones/headphones, or a good (and preferably waterproof) portable speaker if you liking grooving with your friends. Pre-make a playlist with songs that suit your tastes and get to streaming music anywhere, without much buffering with a network like Airtel 4G

Consider a tablet perhaps?

While your phone offers a pretty neat display, a tablet offers better viewing experiences, thanks to a bigger screen. Couple it with the many video streaming apps available in the market and you won't miss your TV or your favourite TV shows anywhere. And with a power bank by your side, you'll never have to worry about running out of charge for those non-stop hours of streaming. 

Pick the right backpack

Having the right backpack can make a world of a difference for the geeky traveller. Ideally, you should look for one that is waterproof, so that your precious gadgets are safe in the event of a sudden downpour. You might also look for ones with many pockets so that you have separate space for cables, chargers or anything else you might be carrying. There are also some that feature built-in power bank, so you can charge your phone, without the need to take out your portable charger.

International Roaming > Local Plans or Public Wi-Fis

If you're planning an international trip, you'd have to keep in mind is that you may not get spotless free Wi-Fi service everywhere during your travel. And getting those expensive local SIM cards can be quite a hassle. In order to avoid such troubles, it’s best to pick an international roaming plan before you leave. Airtel International Roaming  has lots of affordable plans that are loaded with benefits like free incoming calls and high-speed data. 

Take Travel Photos Up A Notch

When you travel, you are bound to take some pictures. A good tripod can really help you take your picture game up a notch. It offers a stable base that will allow you to take time-lapse videos or photos at slow shutter speeds. There are a bunch of tripods for you to choose from, ranging from the traditional kind to ones that can be wrapped around objects like tree branches.

Universal Travel Plug

This is another must for international travellers. Not all countries have the same type of plug points and this can be a big problem if you want to power up your devices. A universal travel adapter plug lets you attach any kind of adapter to various different types of sockets, making charging your devices more convenient.
