T-Shirt Helps Travelers Communicate in Whatever Country They Visit

I remember traveling to Mexico when I was younger with a translator. I don't mean a person, or a book. I had a device that I could type into and it would speak what I wrote in whatever language I asked it to. I have no idea what happened to my translator, but it was amazing.

If you're planning a trip to a country where you're not totally fluent in their language, you could take a translator thing like I had, or a book, or you could travel with someone fluent in the language. Or, you could just wear the Iconspeak T-Shirt.

I wish I'd thought of inventing this shirt because it's so simple, yet so genius.

Three friends who are big time travelers created the shirt which is simply a graphic tee covered in universal signs and symbols that you can point for help in communicating what you need to anyone in any part of the world.

The shirt comes complete with symbols for hotels, food, drink, and even a symbol of a photo so you can ask someone to help you take a photo.

If you're not crazy about the idea of wearing a shirt with symbols all over it, the friends also sell totes and hats, but those don't have as many icons on them as they shirt does.
