Traveling – whether for work or pleasure – can be stressful and intense at times. With the summer season about to come into full effect, the frequency of traveling will be increasing; notably with Canadians heading South of the border. Here at Roam, we believe traveling should not become an unpleasant or overly stressful activity. To help, we wanted to showcase 5 gadgets and products that will make your next travel experience as smooth as possible.
Re-Timer | $273.90
Are you sensitive to time zone shifts and jetlag? Re-Timer simulates the benefits of sunlight, to maintain a well-timed body clock and natural energy levels. Typical adjustment to jetlag takes approximately 3 to 7 days, with symptoms of jetlag that include sleep disturbances, reduced mental and physical agility, and increased fatigue. Using the simulated light, you can begin the adjustment process before you depart, allowing you to be well adjusted for your trip.
Belkin NetCam HD Wi-Fi Camera with Night Vision | $149.99
Do you suffer from anxiety about your home, when you're abroad? If so, the Belkin NetCam will allow you to keep an eye on your residence or business, even with the lights turned off. Displaying the footage in 720p HD, the crisp, sharp detail will keep you fully aware of the happenings at your site of surveillance. One of the best features for travellers, however, has got to be the email and text message alerts you can set to receive if there is motion detected.
Trackstick II | $149.99
Trackstick logs your geographic journey and allows you to upload it to your computer, creating a virtual tour for your trip. With the ability to tag locations, you can always remember where you caught a bounty of fish or the amazing yet obscure camping spot you managed to find in the middle of nowhere. By utilizing Google Earth technology, you can see your explorations via a red line that is traced on satellite photos and 3D terrain.
SteriPEN Classic | $69.95
The SteriPEN is a must-have for any outdoor adventurer. Utilizing ultraviolet light, this pen purifies water by destroying viruses, bacteria and protozoa without having to use any sort of chemical that would alter the refreshing taste of pure water. The SteriPEN is AA battery powered, and the UV lamp has a life of 8,000 treatments; making it an easy to use device with longevity. The tapered end makes it very versatile and allows you to use it in cups and in water bottles.
HoodiePillow | $19.95
Last, but definitely not least, the HoodiePillow. Sleeping on a plane, car, or train has never been so comfortable and stylish! With what they've termed as “Cocoonification”, this awesome pillow not only allows you to rest your head, neck and shoulders while sitting upright, it also shields your eyes from light, so that you can sleep a little easier.
