Losing your passport or bank cards on the road sucks. Not having the numbers accessible sucks even more.

For most of us our day to day life takes place in our homes, apartments and offices.
Each of these locations contain pretty much everything we own, need to survive and identify who we are. Somehow though, when we travel we are able to condense all these ???essentials??? into one or two small bags, carry them on our shoulders and hoist them onto trains.
Many of my best travel experiences have been shared with local people who have invited me into their lives.
Singing Russian drinking songs with my cabin-mates in Siberia. Playing cards until dawn on an overnight train across China.Relaxing on an isolated beach with a fisherman in Panama.
These moments, when you actually step off the tourist trail and enter into the reality of the place you are visiting, are the much talked about, yet ever elusive goals of many travelers.
This is Part II in our series on Laptop Travel. Read Part I here.
So now that you’ve got your perfect travel laptop picked out, what are you going to take with it?
Here’s a run-down of accessories you’re going to want in your pack before heading off into the great unknown.
1. Charger. A no-brainer really, but it’s got to be on the list. The best thing about laptops is that because the wall charger has to convert AC to DC for the computer to work, they almost always have a voltage converter. Meaning it will work fine whether you’re in London, New York, Tokyo, or Delhi.
