๐Ÿ“– Our Story

From Frustration to Solution

It started with a broken laptop stand in a cramped cafรฉ in Bangkok. After spending hours hunched over my laptop, developing a serious crick in my neck, I realized that most “portable” gear recommendations online were written by people who never actually traveled with them.

That’s when Digital Nomad Gear was born. We’re not just reviewersโ€”we’re active digital nomads who live and work with every product we recommend. Our office is wherever we set up our laptop, from co-working spaces in Lisbon to beach bars in Canggu.

๐ŸŽฏ Our Mission

Why We Do What We Do

Remote work shouldn’t mean compromising on comfort, productivity, or health. We believe the right gear can transform any space into your ideal workspace.

๐Ÿงช

Real-World Testing

Every product endures months of real-world use across different climates, internet speeds, and work environments before we recommend it.

๐Ÿ’ก

Honest Reviews

We only recommend products we’d pack in our own bags. No fluff, no sponsored biasโ€”just honest insights from fellow nomads.

๐ŸŒŽ

Global Perspective

Testing gear across 40+ countries means understanding what works in Bangkok’s humidity and Berlin’s cold alike.

What Drives Every Recommendation

Portability First

If it doesn’t fit in a nomad’s backpack and survive constant travel, we don’t recommend it.

Productivity Focus

Every product must genuinely improve your work output or comfort while working remotely.

๐Ÿ’ฐ

Value for Money

We test budget and premium options to find the sweet spot of quality, durability, and price.
