Jet set with us this Travel Week and become a smarter adventurer

It's great to travel just about anywhere in the world. Modern marvels such as the aeroplane, lithium-ion batteries, and the automobile have allowed us to enjoy the wonders of the world without much effort. Compared to decades passed when you'd have to allocate weeks to traverse continents, you can now achieve this in mere hours, mostly in comfort that those back then could only imagine. What's more, we're able to take our digital lives with us, thanks to cloud computing, hefty battery tech, and incredible technological advances that allowed for the smartphone. This single device has all of your data in the palm of your hand, but some unsung heroes don't get the same recognition.
