Direct Answer
The best travel setup is the simplest one that works. A USB-C cable, a compact charger, and a magnetic wireless power bank — this covers 95% of situations with a single cable.
Why This Happens
Travel tech has become unnecessarily complicated:
- Different cables for different devices
- Adapters for different countries
- Power banks that weigh more than the devices themselves
- Cables that get tangled in the bag
This is not inevitable. USB-C is now a universal standard, and wireless charging eliminates the need for one cable entirely.
When the Situation Worsens
A travel setup gets out of hand when:
- Each device has its own charger
- The power bank needs its own cable
- Lightning devices require an extra cable
- Country adapters take up space
Eventually, half of the luggage is cables and charging devices.
Minimalist Setup — Three Parts
1. One USB-C Cable
- Charges the phone, headphones, tablet, power bank
- Choose a short one (30cm) for travel, a long one (1m) for the hotel
2. Compact USB-C Wall Charger (30W+)
- GaN technology = small size, high power
- 30W is enough for a phone and tablet
3. Magnetic Wireless Power Bank
- No cable needed to charge the phone
- Attaches magnetically to the back of the phone
- 5000mAh is enough for a day
This Replaces
- A separate phone charger
- A Lightning cable (iPhone 15+ uses USB-C)
- A separate power bank cable
- Multiple different cables

Summary
Minimalism is not deprivation — it's design. One cable, one charger, and a magnetic power bank. Everything else is extra.
