Around this time, you should already be clearing out your annual leaves. You could be planning an overseas trip or perhaps even a nearby getaway that offers enough of a change of scene. Aside from your smartphone, here is a list of essential tech that will help you make the most of your vacation.
A smart tracker
Nothing can be more stressful than not knowing where your belongings are. From the moment you hand your luggage over upon check-in, to awaiting collection at the conveyor belt, there is always the possibility of things going wrong. To keep an eye on your luggage, you could get an AirTag (for iPhones) or SmartTag 2 (for Androids). There are also alternatives like Tile.
