WIFI your way across the globe with these technical advancements. Work from Home = Work from Anywhere.
Essentials for the #DigitalNomad. Whether you are flying to your destination or living the #VanLife, technology is the key to an effective game plan.
“Of course solid internet is us a MUST, but advance your experience with supplemental technology you may not have considered.” - #AgileDigitalNomad
My passion for Agility and success for lean product management is now intertwined with a love for travel, and the courage to explore. Learn from my accomplishments and many mistakes with these essentials in my Digital Tool Kit.
Digital Nomad Took Kit
Mobile Trio Portable Monitor for Laptops
Price Range $200 to $800
Pro Tip: Look for open box options with the same warranties, and ensure the model selected can also adapt to your tablet or phone. Empowers you to have an extended triple monitor display while working from your next location. Then, during your downtime you will now have increased viewing pleasure for social media and entertainment from your mobile device.
I bought a 12.5" SUNPIN open box with full warranty via Amazon Prime for $193, after returning an INNOCN single monitor for the same price that I was unable to connect to my laptop and drained my phone charge in less than an hour.
WIFI Boosters
Price Range $50 to $1000's
Pro Tip: Whether it's #RVLife, #Vanlife or international travel you are after, one can get lost in the sea of options, and without these simple basics it can get exponentially expensive.
Better the Investment the Better the Coverage
Politics aside, https://www.starlink.com/rv has a one time hardware cost of $500 with active coverage for $135 a month, and it advocated as the best-of-the-best. Coverage includes Canada, Continental United States minus Alaska, South America, Europe, Africa and Asia Pacific. Not a fan? Mobile hotspots are a MUST, and worked phenomenal for as low as $10 a month. Just contact your mobile service provider.
Roughing It
If you want to try and work with what you have, try www.campendium.com or www.rvmobileinternet.com/coverage/ to look up ahead of time internet at your destination. Google has a "Speed Test" option (just ask Mr. Google), however if you're impatient like me I just do trial and error. Regardless, ideally you want above 10 Mbps.
Portable Solar Power
Price Range $300 to $1000's
Pro Tip: Ensure to find a generator that can be powered by solar, a car charger and multiple DC plug in voltage options for international travel. Rockpals 100W Foldable Solar Panel charger integrates with Suaoki Portable Generator, 8mm Goal Zero Yeti Power State, Jackery Explorer 240. It has a Webetop Battery Pack, to connect with up to 3 USB devices, DC power connections and a car charger port. Once again, I purchased refurbished model for $199 (Retail $300). My generator of choice after considerable research for the best options, based on reviews, stability, longevity and price, was the ROCKPALS 300W Portable Power Station. (Open Box $199 / Retail $279). Voltage is specific to your desired country (e.g. 100V U.S.) Won't power your air fryer, but will a George Forman Grill ($3 at the dollar store), small microwaves, mini-fridges for 5-6 hours or your work and entertainment devices about 5-6 times. Bonus for me was it's got me through many South Florida hurricanes.
Battery Powered Anything
Price Range $10 to $100's
Lighting: For $10, I can't live without my battery powered lamp for inside my 1947 Airstream Kit Companion "Charlie", and for outdoor Lepro Camping Lanterns are stellar (2 for $15). For ambience, there's plenty of decorative string lighting for your longer stays that are less than $5. If it lights up, I must have it.
Projector: EZCast Beam Camping Mini Pocket Pico Projector $150 used/ $209 Regular gives me about 4-5 hours playing time. Includes a tripod and travel bag and great for international travel. WIFI and Plug and Play.
