5 gadgets that made my life easier when studying abroad/travelling

0

Are you about to leave home to study somewhere else? Or do you simply travel to different places very often? Well, here are some gadgets that can potentially make your life easier!



1.    Extension plugs

Trust me when I say, these are actually one of the most useful pieces of hardware that one can have while travelling. I can tell you from experience that most of the rooms/hostels you get will have at most 2 wall sockets, and sometimes one of them is hidden behind your bedframe or a cupboard. What are you to do when you have to charge your phone and laptop and possibly plug in some other electronics?

This is where the extension plugs come in! I can’t tell you how much my life of travelling got way easier after I’d decided to always have an extension plug in my backpack.

You can get one easily and cheaply on Shopee: https://bit.ly/2JgIGa6




2.    Laptop backpack
Well, this one speaks for itself, it is really important for to have a sturdy backpack to keep your laptop in when you are constantly transporting it around, especially if you have to use public transport, a laptop backpack is perfect for the job!

The SKM laptop backpack is pretty great, not only does it look slick, it also has quite a decent storage capacity, an anti-theft lock and even a built-in charger! Quite useful if you ask me.



3.    Noise-cancelling headphones

I never had much use for headphones prior to studying abroad, and my headphones really made the daily commute to and from school more bearable.

The Sony MDR-XB950N1 Extra Bass headphones are pretty great, it produces really crisp and fresh audio with deep bass and most importantly its cushions are really comfortable, and it is wireless! Perfect for your daily commute.

4.    Laptop

This goes without saying, if you’re going to be going aboard, what can be more important than a great laptop for you to completely your assignments and entertain yourself?

There are all sorts of laptops, but I feel like the Razer Blade Pro is a great choice to go with. It is really thin and light but unexpectedly powerful, being able to run most games smoothly, it should be able to help you with high quality work and entertainment.

1.    Google Drive

This isn’t a gadget per se, but it is an incredibly useful tool for you and your fellow course-mates when working on a group assignment or simply as a hub to share notes on. Other than that, Google Docs and Google Forms are also equally useful on some occasions.

And the most important part? They are completely free of charge! All you need is a google account to be able to access all of these tools, although there is a paid option, I’ve never actually felt the need to upgrade, as the free versions are already very good.

You can register for a google account at: www.google.com
