We live in an age where everything is on our phones. You can now ditch the bulk and consolidate it all on your smartphone with a mobile wallet. Now you can rest assured knowing that you won’t be leaving your wallet in the taxi or hotel room. Check out Apple Pay, Android Pay, Coin, PayPal, Samsung Pay and a handful of other top rated mobile wallets.
Digital Camera
Digital cameras are a must for any vacation. If you don’t already have one or need an upgrade, you definitely have your choice of options. You can go simple and convenient and purchase a cyber-shot camera that will be sure to document all of your Spring Break shenanigans.
Alternatively, you can go professional and invest in an α E-mount camera. They aren’t as heavy as traditional DSLRs and about half the size. We recommend the Sony α5000 E-mount Camera with APS-C Sensor for its Wi-Fi Sharing capabilities. The professional quality of your images will have you wanting to create a share-worthy photo book.
