Upgrade Your Luggage
There are two suitcases on the market that will remove any fears of stolen luggage: carry-on cases from Eljagu and Bluesmart with real-life, They both connect to your phone and can be locked from a distance. Nifty, right? They also allow you to keep an eye on their locations. Like the “find my phone” function on an iPhone or iPad, a GPS tracker will allow you to see on your mobile device where your suitcase is at all times.
Keep Track of…Everything
If you’re one to forget your phone on the plane or your makeup bag in your hotel room, then Chargerback is for you. Go to the Chargerback website, create a profile, ping the place where you think you left your item, and write a simple message with a description. Chargerback will do all of the legwork to locate your lost belonging, and ship it to you wherever you are.
Accessorize with Tech
Former flight attendants have started a women’s accessories line called Baggallini, with two products that specifically address all of your fears of identity theft: an RFID-safe wallet and passport holder. Both are made out of badio wave-blocking nylon fabric, preventing crooks from stealing information off the microchips found on your IDs, passports, and credit cards. The passport holder retails at $35 and the wallet at $65.
Lighten Up
Savvy Travelers created a special lamp called Lime Light, capable of staving off unwanted insects, highlighting traces of unsavory liquids, and deteccting fake bills. If you’re afraid of pesty intruders, or skeptical of a large bill you got at a flea market, than the cost of Lime Light’s $49.95 will still save you a vacation’s worth of worries.
Concierge Apps
The app every nervous travelers needs now is called Mezi. Download it, and you instantly have a personal concierge to cater to all of your concerns and needs. Type in your request any time of the day or night (concert tickets to tomorrow’s show, or that electronic toothbrush you just can’t survive without) and real humans based in California will find it, buy it, and get it to you. They can even help you order food. Whether you’re staying at an Airbnb or a hotel, you will feel like the most pampered VIP—wherever in the world you are.
