Hey Alissa, I really liked this post!
I am getting ready to go on the mountain with my friends, and I will need to drive. I usually drive in the city and this will be my first long trip. That’s why I am searching for days for the necessary things that I need in my car.
I have a lot of these, except Snapchat sunglasses. I like them, but I think that they aren’t worth my money, yet. However, I think that they are very cool and in some aspects useful. I used them once when my friend bought them.
In my opinion, two things are a must on every trip that I take, it doesn’t matter if I go with my friends or my family. That is waterproof phone case and USB flash drive. I can’t go anywhere without them. USB flash drive is attached to my keys.
I think these are important because you can do so much with them. I once dropped my phone in the sea, and the only thing that I was trying to do is making some great photos with my family. I didn’t even know about this small gadget. Now I have a couple of them, and I bring them everywhere.
USB flash drive is important because it happened a couple of times to me that I don’t have enough memory on my phone or camera because I took so much photos/videos. With some adapters, I can transfer media in seconds from mobile phone to USB flash drive.
Overall, I need to thank you for this amazing post because you helped me a lot. I will definitely spend some time reading other stuff on your blog. Another thing that I want to mention is that I also run a blog. I talk mostly about newest technology and gadgets on the market. If you have time, you can check it out and give me some useful feedback.
The name of my blog is Safety Gaming.
Thanks again for amazing post,
