It’s almost Christmas, and many of us are excited to celebrate with our family and friends. However, traveling during the holidays can also be challenging and frustrating, especially with the high demand and the winter weather. That’s why you need to be prepared and savvy about your travel options. If you're planning to visit family or friends in a different city or state this year, be sure you're prepared for the chaos that will likely ensue. Here are CyberGuy's top 6 tips for traveling this holiday season. Whether you're logging onto Wi-Fi at an airport, a hotel or somewhere else while you're away from home, your privacy and information are at high risk if you're not using a VPN. A virtual private network helps encrypt your data so hackers sharing these public Wi-Fi networks can't access it as easily. Unless you're at home on your own safe Wi-Fi network, you can't be sure that you're on a secure network, so make sure you're browsing with a VPN and have antivirus software set up. You can use a VPN with some online banks while traveling, and we've rated our top ones for the year over here. From the travel tech to stay connected no matter where you are to the must-have, coziest gifts to make those long trips easier, we've gathered the best travel gear right here. Some of my personal favorites include the best Travel Dual USB Charger, which is this Anker 36W dual USB-C charger. Plus, these compression sac sets will change your packing game completely and make it a breeze for the whole family. If you're traveling internationally, don't worry about the stress of having to mentally convert different currencies. Instead of looking up the conversion rate and figuring it out yourself, use your phone's camera or a simple app to get all of your currency conversions right on the spot. Have you ever wondered how certain people always seem to be able to rebook a canceled or delayed flight way more easily than you? You, too, can also be a travel tech geek and never miss that next flight again. We've gathered our top 4 tips, including apps and insider information, so you can always be ready in a pinch if your travel plans go awry. Before you embark on your holiday travel, especially if you’re going to an unfamiliar city or region, make sure to download offline maps for the area using apps like Google Maps or Apple Maps. This will allow you to navigate even if you don’t have a stable internet connection. Downloading offline maps can save you from using costly data while roaming, making your travel experience more convenient and budget-friendly. Traveling during the holidays can be a wonderful experience, but it can also be stressful and unpredictable. That’s why you need to be prepared and savvy about your travel options. By following these top 6 tips, you can make your holiday travel easier, safer and more enjoyable. How do you stay connected and entertained while traveling during the holidays?
