As many of you know, I travel a lot for business. And obviously I need to carry some technology with me, that in many cases makes my life easier. During travels I also need to use some technology to spend my time during long-haul flights from Europe to the US for example. During conferences I need to get a lot of notes, but I also need to do some remote work, to remotely support my clients.
So this is what I usually bring with me:
1. Microsoft Surface Pro 4
 |
Bought in the UK from Microsoft Store, it lets me do presentations, it’s light and small with an excellent battery life, a perfect travel companion. I use the keyboard, use it as a tablet, but I also use the Surface Pen to take notes. I also use it as a Kindle device to read my digital books during long flights. |
2. Power adapters for many countries
 |
I need this when I visit UK and USA, because you all know that they use a different plug there. (I should not forget to bring it with me for my trip to Malta…) |
3. Microsoft Bluetooth Mobile Mouse 3600
 |
It’s small, bluetooth and has a long battery life, the perfect companion for my Surface. |
4. Microsoft Microfiber mouse pad
 |
When I use my Microsoft optical bluetooth mouse, I need a light-weight pad. Bought from the Microsoft Company Store at the Microsoft campus, I can even use my mouse on glass surfaces, as many hotel rooms use today. It also works as a screen-cleaning cloth! |
5. OnePlus 3T
 |
It’s dual-sim, so I use a second SIM when travelling to non-European countries, just to avoid extra costs. The Dash charger can charge this phone from 0 to 60% in just 30 mins, if you forget to charge it overnight. |
6. Surface adapters

 |
I always carry a USB to Ethernet adapter and a “mini HDMI to everything” adapter, because you never know when you’ll need to project your screen. |
7. Audio-Technica ATH-ANC1 QuietPoint noise cancelling headphones
 |
They are not so expensive as the Bose ones, but they do an excellent job. I can hear music or watch videos on my Surface without any external noise, completely isolated. In the package is included that special headphone jack that is used on some airlines. |
Thanks for your time!
