Last month, the living room transformed into a buzzing hive of ideas and inspiration as we hosted a series of skillshares around the digital nomad lifestyle and colivings. 

The first topic? Our favorite brands and products for apparel, gear, and clothing that make the digital nomad lifestyle not only possible but downright enjoyable. What do you always bring on your travels? What’s the best digital nomad brand? What’s one surprising accessory? What to pack for a trip with multiple seasons? How to keep your gear minimalistic? 

Here’s a rundown of what we learned, featuring recommendations from our community of travelers, adventurers, and remote work enthusiasts. 

Apparel: Look Good, Feel Good, Travel Light

Gear: Stay Connected and Productive

Next up, the gear that keeps us productive and connected, no matter where we set up our temporary office. Here’s what our community can’t live without:

• Tech Essentials: Reliable tech is the backbone of our remote work setup. Sony wireless headphones are a favorite among our residents for its noise canceling properties. 
• Portability is Key: Lightweight, compact but ergonomic Logitech’s vertical mouse and Keycron’s keyboards ensure that we can easily move our workspace from the living room to the local café.
• Staying Charged: Power on the go is crucial. Anker’s power banks keep our devices juiced up and ready for travel, no matter where we are.

Accessories: The Little Things That Make a Big Difference

But here’s the most important  piece of learning: most of what we think we need, we already have! Let’s be conscious about what we buy by making the most out of what we already have in our closets -or suitcases-, swaping with other nomads, checking the community closet and remembering to use second hand platforms like Vinted.

Shout-out to our coliver Cesar Alberca, host of the Colivers Club podcast who led this session! We hope you find these recommendations as useful as we do. Here’s to more travels, productive workdays, and adventures.
