As a digital nomad, your ability to work and explore the world relies heavily on the tools and gadgets you carry with you. In this article, we will highlight five must-have products that can enhance your productivity, connectivity, and overall travel experience. Whether you're a seasoned nomad or just starting your journey, these items will prove invaluable in keeping you connected, organized, and efficient while on the move.
1. Travel adapter
This may seem like a no-brainer to many of you, but you would be surprised how many travellers find themselves in a situation where they can't charge their electrical appliances due to not having a travel adapter at hand.
These little cubes barely take up any space, and are a life-saver when your batteries are running low.

- $23.99 - Universal power adaptor with 3 USB-C ports and 2 USB-A ports

2. Portable monitor
Having extra screen real estate is always benificials, however if you're travelling a lot, carrying a full sized monitor with you takes up a lot of space and can get quite heavy.
These portable monitors are an absolute game changer, they're the size of your laptop, so they just fit into your backpack. They're also usually under 2 pounds, so they don't really add extra weight.
I would also recommend picking up one of these foldable stands.
3. USB-C hub
A USB-C hub is one of those gadgets you wish you had bought sooner, they're small enough to just fit in your back and are perfect for charging all your device. Modern day laptops also often come with limited USB-C ports, so getting a hub is a perfect solution to extend your amount of ports, but also have additional ports such as HDMI, SD Card slots and ethernet.
4. Portable WiFi-router
These portable WiFi routers are great when you find yourself moving around a lot. No need to connect to different unsecure random WiFi networks, or slow hotel WiFi. Just plug an ethernet cable into your travel router, and you're instantly connected on all your devices.

5. Power bank
Last but not least, get yourself a power bank. While many places often have charging points, more often than not, they're just not working. A power bank will quickly get your devices charged up whilest on the go.
