Cameras, iPods, And Other Gadgets for RTW Trips

Modern RTW travel means deciding whether you want to be fully connected or partially disconnected - there's no reasonable "completely offline" option anymore because you need internet for booking accommodations, handling money, and communication. Most travelers benefit from a decent smartphone, portable charger, and a solid plan for cheap local SIM cards or international data plans. Cameras have shifted dramatically with smartphone quality improving so much that dedicated cameras only make sense if you're seriously into photography. Bring less gear than you think; weight matters more than you realize after miles of walking.
