Geeky Traveller

I love travel. I once studied Travel & Tourism because I loved it so much. I also love anything that can be considered geeky. As a result, writing for Geeky Traveller was such a wonderful opportunity and experience for me.

However, lately I have felt that a site such as this would be able to flourish so much more, in the way that it deserves, if another blogger took the helm. As a result, today I bid you a bittersweet goodbye. I have so enjoyed finding great travel-based sites to help you out or gadgets that can make your travel life more fun, more interesting, or just more geek-based.

I’m not completely leaving the Internet though! I write several celebrity blogs (PittWatch, Britney Groupie, Aguilera Buff, and Style Crunch) and also maintain a personal site (Chaos Theory) if you’d like to stay in touch. Please feel free to drop by my other Internet “homes” and say hello!

Thank you so much for being here and do stay tuned for the next chapter of Geeky Traveller!

Not too long ago, I was able to give away an Epson Artisan 800 printer to one lucky winner. Even better, I was fortunate enough to receive the Epson Artisan 700 printer as well, to review. If you take photos when you travel, this printer is ideal for printing up your memories when you get back home.
The printer is an all-in-one system which allows you to copy, scan, and print – including ultra hi-def photo printing which is what you want if you’ve taken photos of special places on your trips. The Artisan 700 can print photos …read more

Alas, it’s not me doing the giveaway this time, but if you head over to , there is a great chance to win a LowePro Fastpack 250 camera/laptop backpack.
I’ve written about the bag before, and I also have one of the LowePro shoulder bags. They’re great quality, so do check it out!

Collecting air miles is all fine and dandy but trying to keep track of when you can redeem them for a specific flight isn’t always easy. Now it is, because Yapta.com has launched a completely free service which will alert members by email when they’re able to exchange their air miles for a specific seat.

At the moment the service works with Alaska Airlines, United, Delta, Continental, and U.S. Airways, although more may be added soon as the service grows.
When you search and find the fight and airfare you’re seeking, Yapta then gives you the option to track both …read more

I’m reasonably happy at the moment with my Dell Inspiron laptop (though it definitely needs more memory and I do wish I could get a Mac), but as portable as laptops claim to be, they can still be big, clunky, and inconvenient for travel purposes.
HP has now released their HP Mini 1000 which you can get for $400. First of all, $400 is an excellent price for a laptop!
But better than that, what makes it so perfect for travelers is that the largest size is only 10.2″ diagonally, it has a nice tiny weight of just over two pounds, …read more

Westjet airlines has decided to offer up a handful of extra options for things that you would like to have – or to avoid those that you don’t. Westjet is already a great discount airline offering some of the best prices around, and now it looks like you may eventually get to pick and choose your options like a menu at a restaurant.
The airline did a survey to see what travelers would pay an extra ten dollars for, including being in the first group to board or get off the plane, faster baggage delivery, shorter security checkpoint waits, premium …read more

While it’s a good idea to get suggestions on the best hotels to book for your time away, sometimes it’s a good idea to dig a bit deeper. If you use Trip Kick, you can find out everything you need to know about the specific rooms that are available – information that goes beyond the basic “this hotel has four stars” data.
By checking out Trip Kick you can find out which rooms are the worst for noise (like a room over the kitchen, dining area, or on-site club – something you might not realize until you get there), …read more

Anyone who’s been reading this blog for awhile knows that I’m a big digital camera fan. I love photography and the advances in the digital world make it easier than ever.
If your next trip involves snorkeling or even just swimming, check out Hammacher Schlemmer’s Digital Camera Swim Mask , the first and only one of its kind so far.
Not only is it a swim mask it has a fully integrated waterproof camera on board. What makes it so convenient is that you are then free to swim as you normally would without having to …read more
