I’m a tech reviewer and these are the gadgets I travel internationally with

Space is at a premium when traveling internationally, which is why it's important to pack as light as possible. That doesn't mean you can't bring any chargers and cables that you need to keep your devices going strong, capturing your memories. The trick is to be selective and look for the smallest accessories or items that can double in use, unlocking the most potential.

It's not just overseas trips. These products will work for all kinds of travel. Here's the gear I brought on my latest trip.

Bedside charging

Nomad Universal Cable for Apple Watch

When I have more room in my bag, a good portable 3-in-1 bedside charger is great. But when I'm trying to cut out weight and maximize my accessories, I find a fast charger and a multipurpose cable will suffice. The Nomad Universal Cable for Apple Watch can charge my iPhone 16 Pro and Apple Watch, while also being used for my iPad or any other USB-C device. Eeking out a little more power than others, the EZQuest UltraSlim 70W charger has two USB-C ports and is perfect for sliding into an outlet behind a hotel nightstand.

Of course, most people will need an international travel adapter to be able to use their own chargers. I think the Anker Nano Travel Adapter is one of the best because of its slim profile and wide country compatibility. Whether you're coming to the US, heading to somewhere in Europe, or Australia, it's a great option.

Plane tech

Baseus 100W Retractable Cable

My 11-inch iPad Pro is my media hub and laptop replacement. I find it more convenient and versatile than a traditional laptop. The Bose QuietComfort Ultra Earbuds are my preferred earbuds. I've tested dozens of ANC headphones, and these are simply the best at blocking noise. Although I don't use it on every trip, I always carry the Twelve South AirFly so I can connect my own wireless earbuds to the seatback screen.

You can use the EZQuest 70W charger on the plane, but if you want something even smaller, I like the Nomad 35W Slim Power Adapter. The Baseus Retractable USB-C Cable is a great way to keep your travel pouch organized and free of tangles. If movies aren't on the menu, then reading is. The Kindle ColorSoft is my favorite e-reader at the moment because of its refresh speed, but I also appreciate the more compact Boox Palma 2. The phone-sized, E Ink Android tablet can run nearly any Google Play Store apps, including Kindle, Libby, and Kobo, to do your reading.

Day travels

Ray-Ban Meta Smart Glasses

My recent travel addition is the Ray-Ban Meta Smart Glasses. Depending on the model you get, they can serve as sunglasses, earbuds, and a camera, all in a single device. They're perfect for hands-free video clips while wandering the streets of a new city. Another critical part of exploring is battery power. Calling Ubers, taking pictures, navigating maps, and messaging family all put a big strain on a phone's battery.

If you have a MagSafe-compatible iPhone, the Anker Nano Power Bank (5K) sticks right to the back and takes up almost no space. In return, it offers about one full charge to double your phone's battery power. If you need more than that, or plan to share with someone else, the Anker Nano Power Bank (10K) is the one to get. It will easily fit in a jacket pocket or purse and has a built-in retractable USB-C cable, so you don't need to bring one along.

Ray-Ban Meta Smart Glasses - starting at $300

Carry bags

Bellroy Lite Pouch Duo

The number of good tech pouches is hard to count. One of the most versatile options, however, is the $40 Bellroy Lite Pouch Duo. The bundle comes with two pouches, a medium-sized and a small-sized one. There are two internal pockets of the medium one, but otherwise it's open and easy to stuff full. The small one is perfect for keeping in the seat-back pocket during the flight. Either one can also be used for toiletries or various other areas of packing later on.

If you want a piece of lightweight luggage, I love the Bellroy Lite Carry-On. Otherwise, the company's Transit Carry-On or Aer's Carry-On are both sturdy and feature-rich. In terms of backpacks, my favorite right now is the Topo Global Travel Backpack. It has a 25-liter size, but can unzip to expand to 27 liters. It's a nice way to add a little extra luggage space, but it can also be used for day trips.
