In time for the start of spring, I hopped on a 6-hour flight across the South China Sea to land in the capital of China, Beijing. Known for the Forbidden City and its proximity to the Great Wall of China, Beijing has history and sites dating back from 3 millennia ago. Before we get into the travelling section, let’s rewind it to 24 hours before my departure flight from Singapore.
24 hours before my flight is typically when I start to get anxious about my packing list. Whether or not I brought the essentials. With the aid of Travelmall Singapore, I had peace of mind on 2 crucial components of the trip: 1. Sleeping in the plane and 2. Working during the trip. How so? You may wonder. Well, by travelling smart and selecting multi-purpose travel tools to keep me company.

As I will be working during this trip, aside from daily necessities, my laptop is a key component of my packing list. What was powering my laptop was even more crucial. By bringing the provided power plug, is bulky and tangles easily.
With the TecADVISOR 70W 6-in-1 Multi-Tool Laptop Adapter, I can reduce the space needed for my laptop charger. Plus, since it is a multipurpose tool, I can easily use it to charge my phone, earphones and camera.
The coolest part about this adaptor is its ability to function as a USB-C multi-port adapter.
