Spring and summer often bring travel. Last night I attended an event with Verizon where they showed some of the coolest travel tech to keep you informed, connected and enjoying your traveling experiences! This post is sponsored by Verizon. 

Samsung Galaxy s9 with Bixby. Guys this phone is pretty crazy incredible. Bixby is the technology built into the camera and it does some amazing things, for instance,  If you hover the camera over a menu in a foreign language it translates it! If you hover the camera over any type of food it tells you what the food is and how many calories are in it. wow. It can also help you find where to buy the shoes you’re friend is wearing! We were all amazed at the event.

Can you imagine being in a foreign country and being able to just hover your phone over text and have it translate it for you?! It would have made life so much easier when we traveled abroad to Brazil and Europe before we had kids! Bixby was my favorite travel tech to learn about last night, so cool and so useful!

Google Pixel 2 & Google Clips. The google clips wearable smart camera is pretty dang cool. Think about going on a hike and having a camera on your body to snap photos whenever you want, but take it to the next level and don’t even worry about taking photos because the camera will know when it needs to take photos! All the pics are seamlessly transferred to your Google Pixel 2 phone.

As a mom it would be a dream to have a camera snapping pictures during our zoo trip without requiring me to think about it! Friends, I think we have arrived in the future.

Bose Bluetooth Noise Cancelling Headphones.  I’ve never owned these headphones but every time I put a pair on I think about how nice it would be to sit on a plane and not hear any background noise, let’s be honest, I might just put them on at home and ignore my kids. 😉

Lifeprint Photo Printer. I have the Polaroid version of this printer and I LOVE IT. It connects through bluetooth to your phone and prints out little 2×3″ adhesive pictures. It’s perfect for scrapbooking or just having fun little pictures around your house. I’m obsessed with the fact that the photos are basically stickers, you peel off the back of the photo and it’s fully self adhesive. Endless fun, in my opinion!

To help you be stress-free throughout your travels this year Verizon offers a Total Mobile Protection for all your travel tech. The protection covers against loss, theft, damage, and post-warranty defects. As soon as next day delivery for lost or broken phones so you won’t be without a phone for long, even if you are out of the country Verizon will ship a new phone to you! The only carrier who will ship internationally. Screen repair is included, because we’ve all had a cracked screen at some point in our mobile phone lives. It also includes expert tech support to help coach you to get the most out of your mobile device, which lets be honest is a super computer in your pocket.
