Today's smart tools make your trips safer, easier, or simply more enjoyable. They have forever changed the way we experience the world and are literal life-savers for today’s travelers.
Earlier today I was browsing one of my favorite apps, StumbleUpon. It’s this really dope website that allows you to discover the web like never before. By using your interests it serves up content you wouldn’t have normally, well stumbled upon.
Anyway…
… While swiping through different content I came across this really interesting article about some of the coolest travel accessories you’ve probably never known existed. Always open to options to make my hectic travel schedule easier, I was instantly interested.
One that caught my attention in particular was the Tile: Tracking Tags.
All too often when we’re traveling things get lost. Whether misplacing your keys, luggage or even your phone, it’s incredibly stressful when our valuables have gone missing. Tile is a helpful, inexpensive way to find anything – it’s a small square tracker that can be attached to your stuff and tracked using Bluetooth 4.0.
Tiles are waterproof, easy to set up, include a set of double-sided adhesive and built-in speakers to help you find your belongings. They come in 5 versions; Pro, Mate, Slim, a Mate/Slim combo and now with a subscription the Premium. The website offers a free trial for one month, then it's only $29.99 a year or $2.99 a month!
The best thing is that the battery lasts for a year before you recycle it, so it never needs charging! And if you’re anything like me, you really don’t need another charger.
NOTE: The New Pro & Mate - now come with replaceable batteries. While the premium comes with extra rechargeable batteries at no additional cost!

One tile is $25 bucks but can be brought in packs of 4, 8 and 12 for a discount price. Personally, I’m going buy a pack of 4 before I embarked on my next excursion to put in luggage, wallet, my car and probably an extra one at home. Just in case.
To snag one of these bad boys head over to Tile. And be sure to check out the official video for this product below.
