Occasionally I see some interesting travel related products being crowd funded that I think you guys might be interested in.  We’ve talked about the Tropicfeel travel shoe, the Cleansebot bacteria killing robot, and the AirThrone travel lounger, among others. Here’s a few of the travel related crowd funded projects that I’ve seen.

Today I wanted to talk a bit about RYPE, which bills itself as a tool to help you learn a new language by speaking it on Day 1. I thought of this as a possible addition to a traveler’s repertoire if you find yourself traveling in a country where you don’t speak the language. All Kickstarter / Indiegogo links in this post may pay me a commission if you boost the project through my link.
