Be it by train, plane, bus, ferry or boat. Traveling for business is an acquired taste, one that many people never even fully develop. Just being out there making money for somebody else or venturing on your own uncertain entrepreneurship is stressing enough, now add the many annoyances of the road to it, and it’ll be hell if you don’t take the necessary precautions.
Luckily, humanity has been experiencing the griefs of business traveling long enough, and they’ve come up with many solutions that smooth over the roughest parts of the process. For any problem you could possibly face during business traveling, rest assured there’s a gadget out there to ease up the experience nicely, and here’s a list with the best of them.
#1 The Scrubba Air Sleeve
Don’t fret about your tech on the way to work with the help of the Scrubba Air Sleeve. With a soft shell, water resistant exterior and weatherproof wrap around zippers, you won’t have to worry about your laptop or tablet being bumped, knocked or dropped as you run to catch the last train home.
If your commute is tiring you out, simply grab out your Air Sleeve, inflate it and you’ve got a comfortable travel pillow to help you get some shut eye on the way home, or maybe sneak a quick nap on the way to work. Recently awarded first-prize for the Smarter Travel 2018 Editor’s Choice Awards Packing Accessories, the air sleeve is perfect product for all the tech professionals out there.
#2 ASUS ZenScreen USB Type-C Portable Eye Care Monitor
When I am in my office, I have a workflow that is based around multiple monitors. If I’m traveling (for business or for leisure) I really miss that functionality. Having another screen such as the ASUS ZenScreen makes me almost as productive on the road as when I’m home. It is light, thin, and fits easily into a backpack or briefcase.
#3 Anker PowerCore 20100 Power Bank
Business travelers need to make sure their devices don’t run out of power while they are on the road. A powerful, portable battery charger can make all the difference! I recommend the Anker PowerCore 20100. It’s got a huge capacity, and you can use it to charge your phone, tablet and more. Plus, it’s tiny, only weighing in at 12.5 oz.
#4 iON Wireless Fast Charging Pad Mini
iOttie’s fabric-wrapped iON Wireless Fast Charging Pad Mini features a sleek design and is ideal for use on desks and counters where space is often limited. Measuring just 3.5 by 2.5 inches, iOttie’s iON Wireless Mini Fast Charging Pad is a compact charging hub that is both stylish and efficient.
#5 Doxie Intuitive Portable Scanner
Within seconds, the Doxie intuitive portable scanner will produce clean, crisp, high-quality digital copies of photos, documents, invoices, receipts, etc. Not only that, and thanks to its inner memory, documents can be stored and shared to PCs and Macs, or transferred to cloud apps (Dropbox, Evernote, and iCloud drive, etc.). Doxie portable scanner weighs only 1.18 pounds plus it has a simple design, which makes it easy for business persons to take with them on their business trips.
#6 Dandelion Travel Adapter Outlet Adapter
This travel adapter works in every country, and allows me to charge 2 USB cords independently of a larger item. This means that I can use an iron at the same time as charging my phone. If you do any international travel, this adapter simply cannot be missed.
