Nomad Cruise: Last Minute Ticket Sale

One big dilemma for digital nomad is how to meet other digital nomads. One company is trying to change that.

A single cabin goes for €1,700 ($1,860). Use discount code nomaddealsinfo to save €100.

Black Friday Watchlist

What would a deals newsletter be without covering the biggest deals day of the year?

Here are a few nomad essentials to add to your Black Friday/Cyber Monday watchlist (and some are already on sale). You can also download a free app like Keepa to set price alerts.

ARZOPA portable monitor

Once you start working with two screens, there’s no going back — even when you start living as a nomad. The lightweight ARZOPA monitor, now $89.99 on sale at Amazon, features a cover that doubles as a stand.

You might also consider a Nulaxy laptop stand ($26.99) and a separate Lisen stand ($13.99) for the portable monitor. As for your keyboard, ditch the bulky plug-in device and snag a wireless Logitech K380 for $29.99 on sale.

Marchway packable chair

Spending the winter at a beach in Mexico sounds great — until you realize that sitting on a towel for more than 30 minutes is a back killer. Many local stores don’t carry beach chairs, which means you’ll need to fork over $10 for the day to rent one from the chair cartels day clubs.

The beauty of the Marchway chair ($32.99) is that it only takes up two pounds in your luggage. Some reviewers criticize the build quality, but so far it’s supported my butt for almost a year.

Xiaomi Redmi backup smartphone

I know foreigners that have lived in Colombia for 20 years and never lost a phone. Then there are, uh, others who have had two phones pickpocketed within a year (both burner phones, fortunately).

Those who fall into the second category might consider a cheap burner smartphone with a local SIM card for day-to-day use, especially at crowded events. The Xiaomi Redmi 10 works well for this purpose. It’s fast and features a long battery life, and at $109 for the entry-level version, it doesn’t break the bank. Only downside is that the camera sucks.

Alienware laptop backpack

TBH, I wasn’t sure whether to include this in the article. Choosing a travel bag is a highly personal decision. (Entire internet forums are devoted to backpack nerds breaking down the pros and cons.) But the Alienware bag is too underappreciated not to mention.

When I first began this lifestyle, I wanted a well-padded bag that could fit my 15-inch work PC, portable monitor, and iPad…plus slide under the airplane seat as my personal item. At the same time, I didn’t want to shell out hundreds of dollars. The Alienware bag fit all of those requirements and more. It’s stylish, roomy, and doesn’t feel cheap like many backpacks in this price range.

The Elite ($89.99) is the model that I use. Similar versions are also available, usually at specialty electronics retailers.

Philips One electric toothbrush

Maybe not the sexiest tool on the list, but we all gotta brush our teeth, right? The Philips One ($17.46 on sale) vibrates sonically and lasts a surprisingly long time on one AAA battery. At just 8 inches long and with its own protective case, it’s an easy travel companion.

SIM card holder

Unless you’re using eSIM or another international phone plan, chances are you’re going to end up with a bunch of tiny little SIM cards. An organizer like the BLUECRAFT case above ($9.89) also comes with the little doohickey to open the SIM card tray, so you’re not fumbling around with a bent paperclip.

For a cheaper deal, check out the smaller organizer on Temu for $2.48. And while you’re at it, grab a passport holder for less than three bucks.
