I am a sad to admit that long term travel has made me more of a smartphone junkie than I was at home. My smartphone comes in so handy: reading my travel guide; avoiding taking taxis when I can walk the distance with the aid of GoogleMaps or maps.me; messaging fellow travellers; messaging people at home; calling home with Skype or WhatsApp; communicating with locals with a digital translation tool, …
I find myself using about 2 smartphone batteries a day, so my power bank, or “charger baby” as the Chinese call it, is pretty essential to me. Also, there’s quite a lot of circumstances where you will want to charge your phone but the electricity socket is in a common area. In such cases, I find it much more convenient to charge my (relatively cheap) power bank in the common area, so I do not have to leave my smartphone there and risk theft. Powerbanks come in all sizes and weights, but I find I only need a small one which can charge my phone once or maximum twice. Other questions on travel gear? Check out my travel gear page!
