Good Stuff

Google Glass Self Portrait

Good Stuff and lots of it! Here’s the (mostly travel related) low down on some fine things I’ve recently come across and thought were worth sharing with you. I hope you enjoy this particularly travel oriented post in my Good Stuff series. Have fun.

Aquis Adventure Towel

Kind of a silly name but a easy item to pack – my compact and quick-drying Aquis Adventure Towel has proved an asset on recent trips. The towel is so lightweight that even when I haven’t used it, it wasn’t any issue packing it in my bag with all my other stuff. Indeed at the very least it was useful packing material.

Eriis for Sun

A great new sunscreen on the market is Eriis for Sun features triple action UVA, UVB and Infrared-A protection, in “a real juice formula, to refresh the skin before, during and after sun exposure.” I get burned quick and have found this product does the job of avoiding sunburn a lot better than other brands. Find Eriis for Sun at Superdrug.com.

Holidays Please + Google Glass

I recently got the chance to give a pair of Google Glass a spin, compliments of Holidays Please travel agents, who reckon they’re the “first company in the world to give Google Glass glasses to their customers (well apart from Google!)” with the aim of allowing folks to “enhance their holiday experience with all the functionality that Google Glass provides.” I had fun running around with high tech kit on my head. Would you? Well, I guess you might want to ask yourself whether gadgets add or take away from your travel and leisure time and decide from that.

Free WiFi with Norwegian Air

Flying from Gothenburg last month on my return to London after my awesome Lobster Safari visit to West Sweden, I was delighted to find my Norwegian Air Shuttle flight had free WiFi. According to the budget airline’s website, Norwegian is “the first airline to offer high-speed broadband on flights within Europe” with the vast majority (if not all) flights featuring free WiFi.
