Posted at 03:47h, 04 OctoberGreat post! There are quite a few good ideas for gifts! I highly recommend the packing cubes as well as the scratch map. The Rabing mini drone looks nice as well. I always wanted a drone for that epic videos, but they are always so expensive. Will have a look at this one.

Posted at 10:22h, 04 OctoberWhat a great and early post for Christmas gifts. Would love to get my hands on the Skyroam as I almost always get locked out of public Wi-Fi connections due to my phone’s extra security feature 🙂
The other would be Rabind drone for the amazing experience of being able to click some great shots.

Posted at 08:57h, 05 OctoberThese are cool ideas for giving gifts to a traveller friend. Also, I want to buy a drone and a go-pro camera for myself within next few months. The GPS device you mentioned and polaroid camera were something I didn’t knew about.
