Accessories to Make Your Next Trip Seamless

You’re going on a trip. Time to rewind, refresh and reset. You want sunshine on your face and water between your toes… Or perhaps you want something cool, and crisp; something rugged, yet tranquil. Whether you plan on sinking into your comfort zone or stepping outside it, spring is in the air, and you are about to become a traveller again. Finally.

It’s about the destination, but it’s also about the journey

Let’s start with packing…. you want a bag that perfectly compliments the stuff you’re bringing. Whether you’re taking your laptop or your desktop, let Cesium provide you with that perfect fit. From the Bellroy 20L Classic Backpack to the Everki laptop bag/briefcase, down to the Bellroy Laptop Sleeve or Tech Kits, there are options for all sizes and durations of trips.

Wherever you’re going, your journey may be about finding yourself or losing yourself, but it’s not about getting lost. Not permanently, anyway, and it’s certainly not about losing your luggage, or your wallet. You want assurance that your gear is safe, wherever you’re going, but you want to focus all your energy on your trip, not your accoutrements.

This is why Vicken Kanadijan, Co-Founder and Managing Director at Cesium, travels with Apple Air Tags and Chipolo Card Spot. As he explains, “My favourite travel accessories are the Apple AirTags and the Chipolo Card Spot that uses Apple Find My. I have these in each of my travel bags or luggage. I can finally track if my luggage was loaded onto the plane and if it’s arrived at the airport, plus I use the Card Spot by moving it to any bag (like a backpack) that I’m travelling with. It’s not only meant for your wallet… If ever luggage is lost, you will know where it is faster than the airline will.”

Your journey – your sound

•

Ok, so your luggage is safe and sound, your wallet is tracked; you can comfortably settle into the plane, train, or car ride with ease. Now, it’s time to confront some of the traveller’s harder choices: podcasts or music, documentaries, or movies… Whatever you decide, the sound quality is of critical importance. You need high quality listening gear that can go the distance with you. 

Take it from Ashley, Cesium’s Digital Marketing Specialist: “I look forward to using my JLab Go Air Pop earbuds this summer while I travel! They’re cute and compact, the sound quality is excellent, and they fit comfortably in my ears. And the fun pop of colour is perfect for summer!”

Cristina Candja, Brand Manager at Cesium seconds this: “I am also packing up my Samsung Galaxy Buds2 for some good music … aaand. I’m ready for the great outdoors!”

From wired to wireless, ear to headphones, be sure to make your listening experience an immersive one with the help of Cesium.

Wander with direction and power

Now, perhaps instead it is you behind the wheel, or the handlebars, and you intend to tune into the sweet sounds of your GPS. In that case, you need somewhere to secure your phone. Cristina Candja speaks to the wandering traveller in all of us: “As the summer starts, I am grabbing my bike for a family ride. I am so dependent on my GPS that I’m not going anywhere without the phone well secured on my bicycle. That’s why I need the iOttie mount.”

But the better the listening and viewing experience, the more painful the interruption. And the Cesium team couldn’t agree more. Let us help keep your battery alive. Haard Parikh, Cesium’s Demand, and Logistics Planner, says, “With my Wireless Magsafe Power Bank from Otterbox I can easily charge my iPhone even if I didn’t find any sockets around me!”

Don’t waste your energy recharging your batteries

•

When you arrive at the resort, hotel, hostel, or even the café, you want to make sure that you can recharge your hardware conveniently and quickly, especially if you need to use your phone/tablet, etc. while it charges.

Todd DeWare, Senior National Accounts Manager says: “The one item that I am packing is my Nimble – Champ Portable 20000 mAh Battery 60W Power Delivery. This will allow me to charge my phone and go pro so I can get those great shots for lasting memories. It will also let me charge my MacBook so I can download and edit everything I take, or just relax and watch a movie by the beach.”

Sanjay Bakshani, Cesium’s Co-Founder and Managing Director says, “I’ve started to use the OtterBox 30W Power Delivery Wall Charger when I travel. The reason is that it can charge my MacBook and my phone at the same time, so I only need to carry one charger when I travel”.

And we’ve all had to sit in some obscure room corner at one time or another while our phone charges on its 12-inch cord. To quote Dorron Rybko, Account Manager at Cesium, “When I travel I take the 10ft cables from Native Union any PD wall charger. I never know how far away the wall outlet will be from a desk or nightstand or wherever I’m scrambling to charge at that moment. One time, my phone died at a night club and I had to unplug the lamp in our booth so I could charge my phone (true story). So with a 10ft cable, it makes it super easy with lots of extra length. I also like that it has a belt which makes it super easy to tie up neatly and pack in my suitcase. And as for the wall charger you have to have a PD charger, if you’re not fast charging you’re wasting your time!”

Cesium Top Picks

Travelling is ultimately a logistical adventure, so let’s wrap it up with some top takeaways from two of Cesium’s Account Managers.

Angela Arroyave: “I have 3 accessories that are so important for me when I travel: OtterBox Portable charger, 2in1 folio case from Blu Element, and Go Air Pop from JLab.”

Anna Varao: “My personal top picks of travel accessories are my Otterbox Elevation Tumbler along with my Otterbox Car Charger, Otterbox Portable Power and iOttie Car Mount. I also have my Chipolo One on my key chain so I never lose my keys when away.

My top recommendations for customers would be:

• Ventev’s Global Wall Charging Hub with Extra USB 2.4A Black because it can charge 2 devices at the same time and works in 150 countries.
• Otterbox’s Portable Power Kit 5000 mAh with 3 in 1 Cable because it’s slim and comes with a 3 in 1 cable which allows you to charge a variety of devices including Apple (MFi approved), Samsung, LG, Google and more multiple types of devices such as iPhones.
• JLab Audio’s Epic Air True Wireless Earbuds with Noise Cancellation so I can listen to my favourite music on the go without getting distracted by any background noise.”

Even when you finally reach your destination, the journey never really ends, does it? We are always travelling, even when we aren’t vacationing or business-tripping. Every time we leave our houses, we travel, but good travel prep doesn’t have to be challenging or expensive. So, whether you plan on travelling to the other side of the world this season, or like Cristina, Candja, the other end of the bike path, check with Cesium before you let your front door close behind you.
