LUGGAGE LOCKS FOR WHEN YOU 45
SUDDENLY NEED THEM

Sure you have combination locks on your check-in bag and carry-on
spinner, but there are other times when they’re suddenly handy such
as when you have to stash other bags on check-in or check-out days
or when you are renting a locker. Carrying a small or more durable
combination lock (you don’t want to be worrying about losing a key)
gives you added peace of mind. Desired Tools padlocks and MoDa
locks are available on Amazon for US$12 and $8 respectively.

YOUR SECRET BRA STASH

Beautiful and fascinating though they may be, some parts of the
world are rife with thieves and pickpockets. You know enough to not
carry anything valuable in your pockets but for added reassurance
the Secret Bra Stash lets you hide money, credit cards and jewellery
under your clothes in a discreet nylon and Spandex pocket that
attaches to your bra or other undergarments. Great for wearing to
the beach, to clubs and just for general convenience and security,
each pocket measures 2.75 inches wide x 4.25 inches tall. Eagle Creek
makes a good snap-over pocket with a moisture-resistant lining.

HAPPIER EATS ON THE ROAD

Vegetarians and vegans have traditionally found it hard to find good
places to eat while travelling, but that’s changing with apps like
HappyCow which lists eateries of those persuasions in nearly 10,500
cities worldwide, from London and New York to obscure dining
spots in say, Moldova. Each restaurant listing comes with a short
description of the menu and user-generated reviews. The HappyCow
app costs US$3.99.
When you’re away it’s always fun to hit the hippest dining places of
the moment and Velocity, a free reservation app, offers a collection of
some of the hottest restaurants in the USA from Miami to Los Angeles.
You can also use Velocity to pay your bill or split it with your dining
companions. The app is steadily expanding: coming soon are popular
nightlife spots in Aspen and Gstaad and Verbier in Switzerland.

NO MORE WET, SANDY TOWELS

After many long summer days at the beach and tired of wet, sandy
beach towels, Baz Brown from the Gold Coast came up with a great
idea and designed the Sandusa towel. The colourful cotton towel
range has a nylon back, which stops sand sticking to it, and the towel
is waterproof so moisture can’t seep through. The Umbo and Tropical
are the latest Sandusa towels, their design and colours inspired by
global travels; the Tropico with its lush, green jungle of South America
design and the Umbo with an earthy African savannah theme. Towels
are available online at sandusa.com
