TL;DR — The Ultimate Traveling Office for Digital Nomads

The keyboard and mouse (or trackpad), the second screen, the second screen stand, the second screen mount, the dual-screen connection, the internet, the headphones, the posture, what does your portable home office look like.

Shopping online for your portable office setup can be a pain. Without being able to test components out together, you could end up with a janky setup.

To save you the hassle of ordering things that suck, here’s every piece of my remote work setup (plus alternative options I’ve vetted):

The Basics ▶ Laptop stand ▶ Magic keyboard ▶ Magic trackpad 2 ▶ Magic mouse 2 ▶ Alternative budget-option keyboard (PC/Mac) ▶ Alternative budget-option mouse (PC/Mac) ▶ Case for keyboard and mouse ▶ Tripod for tablet or iPad ▶ Mount for tablet ▶ Budget iPad (I use the generation prior to this. Refurbished is a great way to save.) Extras ▶ International eSIM for data worldwide ▶ Sony noise-canceling headphones (I use the version prior to this, which is cheaper.) ▶ Jabra sweatproof earbuds ▶ Cell signal booster for van/RV

Best Digital Nomad Setup, Explained

Your travel desk setup should not be an afterthought.

Whether you’ve been working digital nomad jobs for years or are brand spanking new, these portable office ideas will make work more comfortable on the road. 

Apple 2020 MacBook Air Laptop M1 Chip, 13” Retina Display, 8GB RAM, 256GB SSD Storage, Backlit Keyboard, FaceTime HD Camera, Touch ID. Works with iPhone/iPad; Space Gray

We’ll start with the obvious. Your laptop is the most important tool in your digital nomad toolkit. It’s the only piece of equipment you actually need . Everything else is a bonus.

Choose your laptop based on your unique needs and preferences (versus just getting what everyone else has).

I personally use a Macbook Air with the M1 chip , but there are a handful of other awesome options as well, both PCs and Macs.

For help determining which is right for your needs, check out these detailed guides: ▶ Best laptops for digital nomads ▶ Best laptops for teaching online

Roost Laptop Stand – Adjustable and Portable Laptop Stand – PC and MacBook Stand, Patented

A laptop stand lifts your laptop to eye level and helps you maintain a healthy posture while working.

The most popular digital nomad laptop stand is called “The Roost”.

If you’re an I-only-use-name-brand-stuff kind of person, grab a Roost.

They’re compact, super sturdy, and have easy height adjustments.

Apple Magic Keyboard - US English, Includes Lighting to USB Cable, Silver

This is where your digital nomad accessories may vary. Since your laptop sits up higher on a stand, you need to add a Bluetooth keyboard and mouse (or trackpad) to your toolkit.

For Mac users, the best digital nomad keyboard and mouse combo is the Magic Keyboard and Magic Mouse 2 (or Magic Trackpad 2). 

Apple Magic Mouse 2 (Wireless, Rechargable) - Silver

The 2nd generation models allow you to recharge via USB-C cable. This is convenient compared to the 1st generation trackpad , mouse , and keyboard — which require AA batteries. 

If you’re on a budget, you may be able to pick up any of these second-hand on Facebook Marketplace or in “renewed” condition on Amazon.

The decision between mouse and trackpad comes down to personal preference. I have both, but I mostly use the trackpad. The mouse is nicer if your job requires a lot of precise click-and-dragging.

If you use Windows, I recommend this combo:

Logitech K380 Pebble Multi-Device...

Both of these also work with Mac and are great budget alternatives. 

The Protection

Don’t just cram your accessories in your traveling office bag — they will break. This is especially true for the Magic accessories. I learned this the hard way when my $100 trackpad shattered inside my backpack…

To protect your accessories, grab one of these affordable cases:

Hermitshell Hard Travel Case for Apple...

This particular case is the perfect size for the keyboards and trackpads mentioned above (apart from the Logitech mouse, which is pretty sturdy on its own). If you have a different keyboard, measure it to make sure it fits. 

2020 Apple iPad (10.2-inch, Wi-Fi, 32GB) - Space Gray (8th Generation) (Renewed)

Constantly changing and resizing windows on a small laptop screen is annoying and inefficient. To fix this, you can add a second screen and instantly boost your productivity.

There are two main screen options:

  • A designated portable external monitor

I simply use my handy-dandy digital nomad iPad . It’s something I travel with anyway, so I’m not adding any extra bulk to my setup.

While a portable external monitor might be a little cheaper, it only has one function. A tablet has many functions. And when you live out of a backpack, multi-functionality is key. 

Joby GorillaPod Compact Tripod Kit With Ballhead for Mirrorless Cameras up to 2.2 lbs. Black/Charcoal.

Work is more comfortable when your two screens are at the same level. 

Most portable external monitors and tablet cases have some sort of built-in stand. When you’re not using your laptop stand, this works perfectly.

minimalistic two-screen digital nomad desk setup

But if you put your laptop on your laptop stand, now there is a huge difference in level — your eyes have to make a big jump every time you move screens.

If you’re ok with this, you can simply lean your digital nomad monitor against the front of your laptop stand, like so:

portable home office setup with two screens that aren't level

But if you want both screens at the same level (which I recommend), you need another stand. This can get tricky because not just any old stand will work.

It has to be sturdy enough to hold your screen, with enough adjustable height to match your laptop screen. 

The best solution I’ve found is this GorillaPod .

traveling office setup with arrows pointing to gorillapod and ball head

The best part is, it’s multifunctional. We also use this as a tripod for our phones to take pics and videos while sightseeing. Since it’s something we use anyway, it’s not adding any extra bulk to our pack.

Note : To attach your phone, you also need a phone mount. We use this Ulanzi mount because it allows you to attach a light and/or microphone to the top (handy for Youtube). But if you don’t care about that, any old mount will do. 

GearFend Universal Tablet Tripod Mount Compatible with Tablets + Microfiber Cleaning Cloth

To attach your second monitor to the Gorillapod, you need a mount. 

Now, the mount you use really depends on the type of screen you have. If you use an iPad (or any tablet with similar thickness), you can use this cheap-yet-sturdy mount .

The best part is, depending on your tablet’s thickness and case, you may even be able to mount your tablet with the case on. My iPad (basic 7th generation) and case fits perfectly. If you had to remove the case all the time, it’d get old fast.

Now all you need to do to finish your digital nomad office setup is connect the two screens.

There are several ways to do this, and some work better than others. 

digital nomad second screen and laptop with arrows connecting them

If you have a new-ish Macbook and iPad (see exact requirements here ), you can use Sidecar for free. This is what I’m currently using, and it’s super slick.

If you use Windows or have older Apple equipment, you can install the Duet app on your tablet and laptop. I used this method before upgrading my laptop, and it works pretty well. It’s a one-time purchase (~$20) for the wired connection or $20/year for wireless. 

Even if you do have Sidecar-compatible equipment, Duet still comes in handy if you ever have a spotty wifi connection.

Lastly, if you buy an external portable monitor, it’ll come with instructions on how to connect to your laptop. Some monitors connect via cables, while others have wireless capabilities. 

Person using Skyroam mobile wifi on his laptop in the grass

Unless you like stress, I would not recommend depending on cafes or your accommodation’s wifi to get work done.

Always have a Plan B.

Whether that be tethering to a data plan on your phone or one of these other fancy digital nomad wifi hotspot options , you need to bring the internet with you.

Think of these hotspot devices as your very own portable “digital nomad router”.

If you have a van life job and need internet in your vehicle while traveling, a WeBoost cell booster helps you get usable cell service in places you normally wouldn’t.

You can then use your phone’s data plan and tether to your laptop. We used the Unlimited Everything phone plan from Visible in the U.S., which can be as cheap as $25/month.

While traveling, I use international eSIMs. I’ve tested out Holafly (see my Holafly review here), which offers unlimited data plans in many countries. Unfortunately, their unlimited plans don’t allow tethering.

If you want to be able to tether to your phone (which you probably do as a digital nomad), I recommend other eSIM companies like Nomad eSIMs . I tested Nomad out in Thailand, and it worked like a charm. To see how easy it is to set up, check out my full Nomad eSIM review .

If you work from public wifi or unsecured networks (which you will), you also need a VPN.

I’ll spare you the details of how they work (mostly because I have no idea), but they basically serve two purposes:

  • Protect your sensitive info from hackers (e.g., when logging into your digital nomad banking )
  • Allow you to make it look like you’re accessing the internet from a different location

This second perk is handy for accessing websites only available in certain countries; when you get locked out of accounts for being abroad; or to stream movies on Netflix, Hulu, etc.

If you don’t care about streaming or bouncing to specific locations, TunnelBear is a great free VPN I’ve used for years. This would be if you just want something to protect you when logging into your bank account periodically.

For something a little faster and more flexible, Surfshark is probably the best bang for your buck. To test it out, use their free 30-day trial . 

Sony WH-1000XM4 Wireless Premium Noise Canceling Overhead Headphones with Mic for Phone-Call and Alexa Voice Control, Black WH1000XM4

A good pair of noise-canceling headphones is a digital nomad’s best friend.

Sitting at the airport in a crowd of people? Put on your headphones and block ‘em out.

People jabbering and trying to be friendly at a hostel? Put on your headphones and block ‘em out. (jk, be friendly.)

Living in Colombia next door to an inconsiderate b-hole who has never heard of earbuds and blasts salsa music for the whole barrio to hear? Put on your headphones and block ‘em out. (Literally what I’m doing right now).

My go-to pair are the Sony WH1000XM3s . They’ve since released the newer WH1000XM4s , but the 3s work fine for me (and are cheaper).

I also carry around these Jabra sweatproof earbuds . These are my exercise headphones, but they also come in handy when I don’t want to lug around the bulky, over-the-ear headphones.

If you’re on a budget, you don’t have to buy fancy headphones to be a digital nomad. They certainly make work more comfortable, but you can always upgrade later.

A basic pair of earplugs works just fine.

Everyone has different tastes, but I’ll just throw my favorites into the ring.

I’m a big fan of Lofi Girl on Youtube. You can also find her playlists on Spotify. 

If you can’t concentrate well with music, I also like the free White Noise Lite app. If you don’t have noise-canceling headphones, just choose the Airplane white noise, crank it up, and it’ll block everything out.

Lastly, if you need something more upbeat to give you energy, try listening to music in different languages. Since you can’t understand what they’re saying, it’s not as distracting.

It doesn’t matter how fancy your traveling office is if you continue to use poor posture.

And even with all the gear, sometimes it’s still difficult. Unfortunately, there’s no such thing as a digital nomad office chair that you can carry around with you (that’d be cool though). And if you’re not sitting at the correct height, it throws everything else out of whack.

In an ideal world, you want to have:

  • Top of screen at eye level
  • Shoulders relaxed
  • Arms and back supported
  • Elbows, knees, and hips at 90 degree angles
  • Straight, supported wrists
  • Feet flat on the floor

This rarely happens when working on the road. But for your body’s sake, try your best.

Every digital nomad’s needs are unique. While this guide covers several options, it’s impossible to cover them all.

So, have you discovered anything I’m missing?

Leave a comment below – I’d love to hear what you use at your setup!

How to Travel with a Standing Desk

I needed a standing desk workspace that could fit into a suitcase, here’s what i did.

By Adam Walker

PDR Black

With my new role, I’m fortunate to be able to work anywhere within the US time zones. This will allow me to not only visit friends and family in the US but also visit tourist locations throughout Latin America. Work + travel is something that I have always wanted to do. 

However, to make this happen I would need a workspace that allows me to work as efficiently from the road as I do from home.  That requires a setup where I can sit + stand, and use a monitor for split-screen work. Not to mention, it would also require that the workspace is lightweight and able to fit into a 21″ medium-size suitcase.

I believe I have found that workspace, and I am sharing this post with you to save you the trouble of having to find it yourself. Note: at the time of writing I am in Kerala India with my wife’s family and efficiently working from this setup.

No alt text provided for this image

This travel workspace requires the following items:

  • 19″ Portable Laptop Riser

22″ Computer Monitor

Monitor stand, standing mat.

  • Cases for Computer Monitor, Keyboard and Mouse

19″ Portable Laptop Risers

No alt text provided for this image

These little laptop risers weigh 7lbs each and rise to a height of 15″. I use one for my monitor, and one for my keyboard and mouse. By having two separate risers, I have the benefit of:

  • The ability to control my distance from my computer monitor
  • The ability to type comfortably without shaking my computer monitor

Though the risers are not light, they are however extremely portable and well built. Together, my monitor and mount weight 10lbs, but the riser has zero issue going up and holding the two. I highly recommend them.

No alt text provided for this image

So among the choices of 22″ monitors (not too big, not too small), I decided to go forward with BenQ 22″ model because of BenQ’s ‘Adaptive Brightness’ technology. This feature adjusts the screen’s brightness automatically based on the ambient room’s lighting. This saves you the trouble of toggling your display’s brightness throughout the day; I have a 27″ BenQ at home, and this technology is genuinely useful.

The last thing I will say is that for those that are willing to shell out a little more to get a 4K monitor that is slightly larger at 24″, then I would recommend this LG.

No alt text provided for this image

I’m 5’8″ and found that I needed more height to get my monitor eye level. So I bought this generic monitor stand to add an additional 20″ to my Rocelco riser’s 15″.

To attach the stand to the Rocelco riser , I used a metal C-clamp. I recommend using a C-clamp because the Rocelco riser has 1″ lip on the edges, making it difficult to use the monitor stand’s packaged mounting materials.

Note: I experimented with several mounts and found this one to be the lightest.

No alt text provided for this image

I personally like using a mat while standing and did not want to inconvenience my work + travel without one.

I picked this mat because it was the smallest I could find. Though the mat is slightly larger than 21″, it is made of a soft material that easily bends in the suite case. As an added benefit, the mat provides a significant cushion for my computer monitor in my suitcase. I put the standing mat in the suitcase first then the monitor on top.

Cases for Computer Monitor and Keyboard and Mouse 

No alt text provided for this image

I’ve traveled with computer monitors before and find the process of packing, moving, and removing the monitor to be precarious. So I purchased this traveling case designed for 22″ monitors.

The case is light, durable, has a handle and several pockets to store your wires.

I highly recommend using a monitor case so you can avoid stressing about how well you packed your computer monitor.

No alt text provided for this image

Maybe this is a splurge expense, but I always find it anxiety-inducing throwing my Apple keyboard and mouse in my backpack. I’ll often hear a ‘click’ from my mouse, reminding me about how poorly I take care of my devices. And then I’ll begin to imagine my keyboard keys getting crushed in my bag.

Call it an insurance policy; I just think it’s better to pay to keep your good devices protected.

I picked this particular case because of its foam top. This creates a gap between the hard outside case and the keys of my keyboard, so you don’t have to worry about your keys ever getting depressed.

I hope this list of items helps you get your travel workspace started. I’m really happy with my solution because it provides me the functionality I require, plus ergonomics, and it’s all light and small enough to fit into my medium sized suitcase.

Travel Desk Management System: Why Companies should be Concerned?

Blog

Companies are dedicating more resources to their travel needs. In developed economies such as the United States, the number of business trips in a calendar year has reached approximately 500 million. Such a scenario pushes the need for an effective Travel desk management system that can systemize the whole process of travel management and offer a number of benefits.

Here is a look at how capable travel management systems are of changing the corporate traveling scenario.

Let’s find out how Travel Desk Management Systems are changing the corporate traveling scenario: 

Streamline business processes:.

Finalizing a travel request is not as easy as the concerned individuals have to initiate multiple rounds of requests. This is not an efficient process as it loses both time and control in many aspects. However, the process can be simplified through certain specific approaches, and it can also become relatively more cost-effective. Modern travel desk management systems can allow employees to book their own trips within the company guidelines. This gives overall satisfaction and freedom to the employees and increases autonomy.

Dedicated Expertise:

A simple travel booking process has many variables that are more than just flight or hotel booking. The process has to be coordinated in every aspect such as airport transportation, baggage restrictions, hotel room booking , flight availability, and so on.

Travel desk management

Working with a dedicated partner or an expert agency can be quite beneficial in these situations. Dedicated agencies are updated about the itineraries, changing flight fares, and travel needs. Such experts help businesses stay updated about the information so that they can prioritize, arrange, and manage their requirements accordingly.

Centralized Information Storage:

Businesses now prefer to opt for dashboard-based systems for better decision-making. In every global aspect of the business such as marketing, finance, and sales, single dashboard-like corporate travel management software is replacing manual systems like these can offer a brief and easy-to-understand view of many scenarios that can ultimately help in real-time decision-making. Similarly, such tools and apps are used for corporate travel management . These tools ensure streamlined operations along with enhanced tracking and informed management.

Organic Corporate Travel Data and Auditing Reports:

Strategic travel management induces best practices such as accountability and tracking across the organization. Both aspects are quite necessary for being prepared for budgeting and external tax laws. Travel expenses are huge, but these are usually fragmented, and lack of tracking and small discrepancies can affect a company’s budget. Corporate travel management software can help a business by setting accountability through auditing and facilitating effective management of these expenses.

Endorses a Cost-Conscious Culture:

An automated travel dashboard that is continuously tracking and monitoring all expenses and activities endorses a cost-conscious culture where employees resonate with business objectives and try to control their expenses. Many reports suggest that companies that allow employees to spend on their own and then reimburse their travel expenses tend to allocate more money to their overall travel expenses, which also results in revenue leakage.

Cost Control and Saving

Cost Control and Saving

These systems enable companies to enforce travel policies and guidelines, ensuring employees adhere to approved travel options and expenses. Travel Desk Management Systems can integrate with travel vendors, providing real-time pricing and availability information. This allows companies to make informed decisions, negotiate better rates, and track travel expenses accurately, resulting in cost savings.

Time Efficiency

Time Efficiency

Manual travel management processes can be time-consuming, requiring employees to search for the best travel options, compare prices, and manually process bookings. Travel Desk Management Systems automate these tasks, providing employees with a user-friendly interface to quickly search, compare, and book travel arrangements. This saves time for both employees and travel administrators.

Policy Compliance

Policy Compliance

Companies often have specific travel policies and guidelines in place to ensure consistency, cost control, and duty of care. Travel Desk Management Systems can enforce these policies by restricting employees to pre-approved vendors, setting spending limits, and flagging policy violations. This helps companies maintain compliance and avoid unauthorized or excessive travel expenses.

What are the Security Measures in Travel Desk Management System Development?

Security Measures in Travel Desk Management System development

Developing a secure Corporate Travel Management System involves implementing various security measures to protect sensitive information, ensure data integrity, and mitigate potential risks. Here are some key security measures commonly employed:

Authentication and Authorization

Robust user authentication mechanisms should be implemented to ensure that only authorized individuals can access the system. This typically involves strong password policies, multi-factor authentication (such as SMS codes or biometrics), and session management controls. User roles and permissions should be defined to restrict access to specific functionalities based on job roles and responsibilities.

Secure Communication

All communication between the Travel Desk Management System and its users should be encrypted using secure protocols such as HTTPS (TLS/SSL). This prevents unauthorized interception and protects data confidentiality during transmission. Additionally, secure email protocols (such as S/MIME or PGP) can be used for secure email communications.

Data Encryption

Sensitive data, including user credentials, travel itineraries, and financial information, should be encrypted when stored in databases or transmitted over the network. Encryption ensures that even if the data is compromised, it remains unreadable without the appropriate decryption keys.

Secure Payment Processing

If the system involves processing financial transactions, adherence to industry-standard payment card security protocols (such as PCI-DSS) is crucial. It ensures that credit card data is handled securely, including encryption during transmission, secure storage, and compliance with payment card industry standards.

System Auditing and Logging

Implementing comprehensive logging mechanisms allows for the monitoring and auditing of system activities. Logs should capture user actions, authentication attempts, and any suspicious or anomalous behavior. This information can help detect and investigate security incidents and support forensic analysis if needed.

Regular Security Assessments

Conducting periodic security assessments, such as vulnerability scanning and penetration testing, helps identify potential weaknesses in the system. These assessments should be performed by qualified security professionals to uncover vulnerabilities, address them promptly, and ensure the system remains secure over time.

Secure Development Practices

Following secure coding practices during the development process is crucial. This includes using secure coding frameworks, regularly updating software libraries and dependencies, and conducting code reviews to identify and fix any security vulnerabilities. Adhering to secure development practices helps minimize the introduction of security flaws from the early stages of system development.

Employee Training and Awareness

Security awareness training should be provided to employees who interact with the Corporate Travel Management System. This training educates them about common security threats, phishing attacks, and best practices for maintaining data security and privacy. Employees should also be encouraged to promptly report any security incidents or suspicious activities.

Disaster Recovery and Business Continuity

Implementing appropriate backup and disaster recovery mechanisms ensures that data can be recovered in the event of a system failure, natural disaster, or cyber-attack. Regularly testing backup and recovery processes helps ensure their effectiveness and availability during critical situations.

Regulatory Compliance

Depending on the industry and the geographical location where the system operates, it may be subject to specific regulatory requirements. Compliance with regulations such as the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) or the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) may be necessary, requiring the implementation of additional security measures and privacy controls.

By implementing these security measures, Travel Desk Management System developers can significantly enhance the overall security posture of the system, protect sensitive information, and mitigate potential risks and threats.

What are the key components of the Travel Desk Management System?

A Travel Desk Management System typically comprises several key components that work together to facilitate the management of travel operations within a company. These components include:

User Interface

The user interface serves as the front-end of the system, allowing users to interact with the system’s features and functionalities. It provides a user-friendly interface for travel administrators, employees, and other stakeholders to access and utilize various travel management tools and services.

Travel Booking and Reservation System

This component enables users to search, compare, and book flights, hotels, rental cars, and other travel-related services. It integrates with travel vendors or Global Distribution Systems (GDS) to retrieve real-time availability, pricing, and other relevant information. The booking system should support different travel policies, and preferred vendors, and offer options to accommodate various traveler preferences.

Policy Management

The policy management component allows companies to define and enforce travel policies within the system. It includes features such as setting spending limits, preferred vendors, travel approval workflows, and policy violation alerts. This component helps ensure compliance with company policies and guidelines, promoting cost control and consistency in travel arrangements.

Expense Management

The expense management component tracks and manages travel-related expenses incurred by employees. It enables users to submit expense reports, attach receipts, and allocate expenses to specific travel activities. The system may also integrate with accounting or finance systems for seamless expense reimbursement processes and financial reporting.

Reporting and Analytics

This component provides reporting and analytics capabilities to generate insights from travel data. It includes pre-built reports and customizable dashboards that allow travel administrators and management to track travel expenses, monitor policy compliance, analyze travel patterns, and identify cost-saving opportunities. Data visualization tools and advanced analytics help in making informed decisions and optimizing travel management strategies.

Travel Alerts and Notifications

The system can include a component that delivers travel alerts, notifications, and updates to travelers. This may include flight delays or cancellations, travel advisories, weather alerts, or any other information relevant to the traveler’s itinerary. Notifications can be sent via email, SMS, or through dedicated mobile applications.

Travel Risk Management

For enhanced traveler safety, some Corporate Travel Management System integrate travel risk management services. This component provides access to travel risk assessments, destination-specific safety information, emergency contact details, and real-time alerts for potential security threats or disruptions. It helps companies fulfill their duty of care obligations towards their employees.

Integration Capabilities

The system should have the ability to integrate with other business systems such as human resources, accounting, or customer relationship management. Integration allows for seamless data exchange, eliminating duplicate data entry and ensuring consistency across different systems. It also enables data sharing for reporting purposes and facilitates end-to-end travel management processes.

Security and Access Controls

Security components ensure the system’s protection from unauthorized access, data breaches, and other security risks. It includes authentication mechanisms, access controls, data encryption, secure communication protocols, and regular security assessments to maintain the system’s security posture.

These components work together to provide a comprehensive Travel Desk Management System that simplifies travel management processes, enhances efficiency, enforces policies, tracks expenses, and promotes traveler safety and compliance within a company.

What technology stack is required for feature-rich Travel Desk Management System development?

The choice of technology stack for a feature-rich Corporate Travel Management System depends on various factors, including the system’s specific requirements, the expertise of the development team, scalability and integration requirements.

  • JavaScript: The primary programming language for implementing interactivity and dynamic behavior on the client side.
  • React, Angular, or Vue.js: Popular JavaScript frameworks for building interactive and responsive user interfaces.

APIs and Integration

If the Travel Desk Management System needs to integrate with external systems, APIs and related technologies can be employed. This may involve using RESTful APIs, SOAP, or GraphQL to enable data exchange and integration with travel vendors, payment gateways, or other third-party services.
