I’ve Been a Digital Nomad For 8 Years. 8 Unusual Gadgets I Always Pack – CNET [CNET]

View Article on CNET

I vividly remember the first time I traveled. I was 10 years old when my mother sent my brother and I to Mombasa, Kenya. She’s Kenyan and wanted us to experience our culture and meet family. She couldn’t travel with us because of work, so my brother and I traveled from Milwaukee, Wisconsin as unaccompanied minors. I was just old enough to be amazed by the experience of flying, walking through airports and landing in a country where English wasn’t the primary language.

Decades later, in 2013, I had my first big work trip as an adult. I’m a consultant who owns a software company, and a corporation in Sydney hired me to come to its offices and train its team.

Flying to Sydney was a surreal experience. The client paid for Premium Economy seats on Virgin Atlantic, and the plane had a full bar. My hotel overlooked Sydney Harbour and the Sydney Opera House. It was on this trip that I realized how much I loved working abroad, and the nomadic lifestyle began to call me.

But I couldn’t be a digital nomad yet; three young children waited for me stateside, where I had a home, cars and everything else that comes with a “normal” life. I continued to travel for my business, but they were shorter trips, which piqued my interest in what it would be like to live in Tokyo, South Korea, London, Dublin, Cairo and other places I visited. From 2013 to 2016, I traveled to 38 countries for corporate consulting training contracts. 

Later, when my children were older and living with their mom, I got serious about being a digital nomad. As the possibility of nomadic life became increasingly real, though, moments of excitement were quickly overtaken with the sinking feeling that I was abandoning my children and family. 

Therapy helped me understand that two things can be true: I can live a nomadic lifestyle, and I can still be there for my children. My kids were supportive of my lifestyle as a digital nomad. So, in 2016, I sold all my material possessions, sold my home and relocated to Medellin, Colombia to embrace full-time digital nomadism. 

Since then, I’ve lived and worked in Mexico City, the United Kingdom, Paris, Madrid, Nairobi, Bangkok, Manila, Kuala Lumpur, Cape Town, Rome, Lisbon, Nice and Barcelona.

Digital nomadism has allowed the author to visit nearly 90 countries.

What I like and don’t like about being a digital nomad

What I like most about being a digital nomad is how freeing the lifestyle is. I like having fewer material possessions and the ability to travel anywhere, anytime. I enjoy experiencing new cultures, history and the foods of other countries. Consulting and digital nomadism have allowed me to travel to 88 countries and live in over a dozen. I’ve been able to build my business and be tourist-y; I work Monday through Friday, then explore whatever country I’m in on the weekends.

What’s hard about being a digital nomad is being far away from my family. Technologies like FaceTime, Zoom and social media make connecting more accessible, but it’s not the same as hugging my kids and hanging out with them in person. Luckily, my nomadic lifestyle means I can travel to them whenever I want. 

8 unusual gadgets I always pack

As a digital nomad, tech is essential for both work and life. I need to be able to do everything I would do if I had an office, but in an Airbnb, hotel or apartment rental instead. Some of my gear is obvious, like my laptop (M3 MacBook Pro), smartphone (iPhone 15 Pro Max), and tracking tags (AirTags).

Below are a few of my more nomad-specific gear picks.

Apple

I spend a lot of time on airplanes, and a laptop is not always convenient to use—especially on local carriers in Europe. I travel with an iPad Air because I use it to work on planes, watch movies and streaming series and take video calls. Apple’s Magic Keyboard sleeve is an iPad cover, but I also use it for the keyboard functionality. I bought my latest iPad in Bangkok, Thailand.

Since I own a business, I do a lot of media interviews. Good sound is essential, so I travel with an Audio Technica ATR2100x-USB Cardioid Dynamic Microphone. The microphone is portable and has multiple ports so that I can connect it to my laptop or iPad.

Early in my digital nomad life, I learned that I can’t depend on airports, hotels, or other places for power. I bought and travel with an Anker MagGo Power Bank to power my gadgets when wall power is unavailable. I like this power bank (versus the others I’ve tried) because it has a usage indicator and 15x fast charging.

This Bluetooth wireless audio transmitter receiver works with AirPods or wireless headphones. You plug the gadget into an airplane or train’s entertainment center, allowing you to pair your wireless device. It creates a Bluetooth connection anywhere there’s a regular headphone jack.

I’ve been a fan of Bose headphones and bought a pair of the Bose Noise Cancelling Headphones 700 a few years ago. I use these headphones to watch entertainment on flights and at the places I’m staying. The Bose Headphones fit more comfortably than AirPods.

I like to also pack a set of wired headphones just in case something happens with my AirPods or I can’t get my Bluetooth devices to work. If you scoop these up, make sure you have the necessary dongles for both your phone and computer.

Living in other countries has taught me that getting power will always be different. I have international adaptors, but there can be a shortage of outlets. I always travel with an extension cord – it’s an underutilized item, in my opinion. This cord has multiple pull-in types, allowing me to use one international adapter with the extension cord and then plug all my other cables into the adopter. Surge protection is also important because every country regulates power differently.

I travel with mainly credit cards but also some cash (which is always helpful in other countries), and a good RFID wallet brings me peace of mind. The Kings Loot wallet has built-in RFID protection, but it’s also slim and comfortable.
