As a remote worker, traveling adds a layer of complexity to your workflow. You need compact, efficient tools that fit easily into your luggage but still enable you to stay productive. Whether you're in a hotel, café, or airport, having the right travel-sized work accessories can make a huge difference in how smoothly your workday runs.
Here’s a list of the best travel-friendly accessories to keep you productive while on the move:
Portable Monitor
A portable monitor is a great option for those who rely on dual-screen setups. These can easily fit into your luggage and connect to your laptop.
The ASUS ZenScreen or Lenovo ThinkVision are popular portable monitors that provide high-quality display.
The ARZOPA Portable Monitor is a good budget option, with a built in kick stand.
Laptop Privacy Screen
When working in public spaces, protecting your sensitive information is critical. A laptop privacy screen makes it so that only you can view your screen, preventing anyone sitting beside or behind you from seeing what you’re working on.
The Kensington Magnetic Privacy Screen easily attaches to your laptop and provide an extra layer of security while working in shared spaces.
Portable Laptop Stand/Desk
Traveling often means working in less-than-ideal environments, from airports, coffee shops, awkward hotel desks, a couch or from bed. A portable desk can create a more productive and comfortable work space no matter what the setting, by bring your screen to eye level, helping improve posture and reduce back strain during long work sessions.
