Tech for the Modern-Day Business Traveler 100%

Tech for the Modern-Day Business Traveler 100% In a hyper-connected, always-on and always-available world, there is some stuff for which a video conference won’t do. Sometimes you will have to go somewhere physically to get the job done. Here are some great tips for the modern day, tech-savvy, travelling business person. You don’t have time to iron clothes when you are trying to make most of your time. Be smart in what you pack, preferably clothes that are wrinkle-free. There are also wrinkle release sprays available that can save you a ton of time. And if you are a disaster at packing, consider using packing cubes to organise your luggage space. And even if you manage to end up with more clothes than you left home with, get something like VAGO, a small automated travel vacuum that can help compress your clothes into the smallest space possible. Travel cubes and a compacted bundle of clothes fit well in modern-day ‘smart’ luggage. As with most other things, your travel suitcases have gone ‘smart’. Smart luggage has functionality like electronic baggage tags, GPS tracking and electronic locks, even ones that are TSA approved. Or if you want to turn heads, consider the Travelmate, a smart suitcase that will follow you around. Clothes sorted, and the essential toiletries packed away, it might be wise also to pack filtered water bottles to carry around once at your destination. If you are an uber tech mogul, you could pack away your smart water bottle with sensors that connect to your smartphone. Or if coffee is more your thing, nowadays you can get espresso makers for on the go. A necessity that sits almost on top of the pack list (after passport and wallet) is a set of cables and cords that are necessary to power and connect your tech. The socks and mobile phone charging cords business must run off the same principle of ‘things have gone missing’. A strong power bank is also a must as you can’t always guarantee a power outlet being available. It also makes a great business card and business branding tool. Get printed power banks from USBMakers.com and get ready to make a great impression next time someone is desperately in need of one. Being powered up is one thing, being connected is the other concern. If you are a frequent traveller, you know that hotel Wi-Fi is hit and miss. Prepare for the worst and get yourself a Mi-Fi device just in case. And if you are travelling to remote places with possibly spotty coverage, see if something like goTenna is an alternative, before considering a costly satellite phone or going off the grid entirely. Once your luggage is taken care of, and you made sure you will have power and connection, its time to ensure you are taken care off. Get some relaxation and entertainment aids to accompany you on your travels. A noise cancelling headphone should be your priority, ensuring you to get rest on busy plane and rail travel. Or take a portable game console with you to kill some time on long layovers. And if everything else fails, get yourself an Ostrich Pillow. Sure, it looks a bit odd, but if it counters any jet lag, do you care?
