Being a digital nomad has become a kind of a norm these days. Self employed and freelancers alike are working out of co-working spaces, coffee shops. The life of a digital nomad affords the freedom to work out of any city and country. Cheaper accommodation in the form of hostels and Airbnb has helped digital nomads to work in different continents in the same month, not because they have to, but because they want to.

Working in an office we take for granted all the facilities that we have.

But as a digital nomad and working and traveling out of flights, buses and other transport, it is difficult to create the right atmosphere for working and if you are traveling you may not be able to carry large gadgets to work.

The one thing that is the difference between working on the iPad and your laptop is the keyboard. The keyboard is such an important gadget that we cannot work properly on devices without them. If you are a developer or a writer, there is a lot of typing involved.

The best part about this device is the folding functionality where you can fold it and put it inside your suit pocket while travelling.

The Nomad Products

Now, these products are something that I’m excited about because of their sheer utility. I cannot point to just one gadget because this company called Nomad to make some of the best multi-purpose chargers.

The founder of Nomad who was a digital nomad himself figured during his travel in Spain that carrying chargers was clunky and cumbersome because of the wires. He decided to take the function of charging and bring it to everyday devices. So the Nomad set of chargers are called the Nomad Key, Nomad Clip, and Nomad Plus.

The company has expanded and it now produces other types of gadgets as well:

Nomad Key

It’s a simple key chain with a USB plug on one side and a charger on the other side. This is a multi-utility device because you carry your keys everywhere. If you have a laptop or a power bank, you can use this useful charger to charge your smartphone. This is better than carrying a separate USB cable because this doubles as a key chain as well.

Nomad Clip

Nomadclip Lightning To USB Carabiner Clip for Apple Devices
  • Carabiner easily clips onto a water bottle, backpack, belt-loop, and carries keys
  • Apple mfi-certified, works with iphone 6/6 Plus/5/5s/5c, ipad 4, ipad Air, ipad Mini Retina and ipad

The Nomad Clips is a carabiner, not necessarily for climbing, but simpler use cases to hook bags together or hook important items like keys to your pants. This carabiner also has a USB attached to it.

Nomad Plus

The Nomad Plus is a portable charger for your device that is very small. It has an 1800 mAH battery and charges any USB powered device, although it requires a USB wall plug to be powered. It works as a power bank, but small and handy that can be charged when your phone is fully charged. It can charge your phone to up to 80% battery power.

Sevyr – The Charging Wallet

The Sevyr is very simply a charging wallet. If I were to buy a wallet why wouldn’t I buy a wallet with a charging feature? It performs all the functions of a wallet with a money clip for cash and receipts. It has a 1400 mAH battery that can be recharged within 2.5 hours.

On a night out and when your phone battery is down, you don’t have to hunt around for a charger and power source or even give it to the bartender to charge your phone, you can charge your phone while booking a cab. I feel this is an extremely useful product that should not be missed.

When you are traveling and living the life of a Digital Nomad, you really don’t have a large screen that you can use most of the time. The 15 Lumens Overhead Projector is a portable projector that you could use to throw a quick presentation or watch content from wherever you are.

If you are staying in a nice hostel working remotely, you could very easily put on the projector and have a movie night. The use case for this handy device is wide.

When we are travelling, we are using our smartphones and tablets and we have peeping toms everywhere looking at the stuff that we are doing. It can be a private message, an e-mail you are writing, or even a movie that you are watching that is explicit. You could be sitting at the airport and preparing an important presentation, the contents of which need to be for your eyes only.

Our screens are out and open to the people watching them and this can make us very conscious. The Fellowes privacy screen aims to beat this by having a protective glass over your screen that blanks out the contents of your monitor completely at an angle.

So only if a person is directly behind you can they see your monitor. If somebody is to your left, they would see a blank screen. So if you are hesitant to watching that epic Game of Thrones episode and feel weird because somebody else can see it, then fret not.

Here are a few more amazing useful travel gadgets.

Final Words

These are the products we would love to use as Digital Nomads and as working travellers. Products which have a dual purpose really help in reducing the amount of products. Another thing is the size of the products, every product ought to be made smaller for travellers.
