An anonymous reader writes "Over the past year I have travelled across the globe for work but I can't seem to find the right balance of technology to take with me. After reading a CNET article about tech for travelling, I'm still slightly undecided about what hardware suits me best.

From a personal perspective I need my music but I don't care about video, so I'm looking for something with high-quality audio and great battery life. A compact camera wouldn't go amiss but dSLRs are too heavy for my needs and carrying strength, so something I can tuck in a pocket would be great. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated."

6. I borrowed a digital camera overseas.
7. I borrowed a mobile phone overseas.
This all worked out pretty well.
Here's what I did...
