My Favorite Tools for:

Digital Nomads, Expats, Travelers, Vagabonds

Surfshark VPN

This VPN is my trusted cyber gatekeeper and -opener. It helps me keep my business and date secure and lets me watch my fav shows on the road. Surfshark is lightening-fast and unbelievably cost -effective. If you like to travel-hack, Surfshark offers one of the most comprehensive list of locations.

Glo Online Yoga

My treasured friend on the road. I love a good yoga session in the morning. Glo allows me to select from a library of dozens of teachers and styles, and lets me curate my very own library, making for the perfect mix of consistency, variety, and customization.

Passport Card Expat Health Insurance

Being German, I was looking for the MOST comprehensive insurance, and found it: Passport Card comes with a credit card (goodbye, reimbursements) and covers anything from checkups over holistic medicine, to emergencies. I’ve had acupuncture, prescription sunglasses, Chinese herbs, annual check-ups, contraception, and emergencies covered within seconds, and around the world! I could go on…I love them! 

Safetywing Travel Health Insurance

Be it for your remote team, a brief journey, or full-time nomad insurance, Safetywing has got you. My boyfriend has used them for years and is ever-again satisfied with their customer service and reliable coverage of all health-related emergencies and necessities, lost luggage, and travel cancelations.

Lunette Menstruation Cup

Ladies: Have you noticed that many countries don’t sell (proper) tampons!? Enter Lunette: witty, sustainable & supportive. Their cups come in different sizes & colors; their cleaner is PH neutral & travel-sized, their durability about one year. Plus, their packaging is hilarious and takes up hardly any space in my suitcase…or, frankly, our planet’s oceans.

Fast Like a Girl, by Dr. Mindy Pelz

This is the ONLY hard-copy book I travel with! Tailored to the hormonal body of a cycling (or previously~) woman, Pelz provides science-backed strategies, fasting protocols, and recipes for every part of the cycle, based on your hormonal needs. It’s one of the most empowering books I’ve read.

American Express CC

I adore how Amex points multiply my money’s value thanks to their generous point and reward programs! Their customer service is the best I know among CC companies, and they offer great travel and luggage protection. If you want your spending go far and be safe, this is your card. I have the Gold, but will upgrade to the Blue one soon as its tailored to travelers. 

My Favorite Tools for:

Online Business Tech Needs

Online Presence & Customer Journey

Hostinger

This is my go-to website host. Hostinger offers starting rates and the ability to scale your business, traffic, and security seamlessly. It one-click-integrates with WordPress, offers a drag-and-drop builder, 24/7 support, daily backups, and a free professional email address. Their annual fees are up to 70% off. 

Divi Theme

I love Divi! It’s an all-around drag-and drop builder that plugs into your wordpress website and makes magic happen, like this very website. Divi YouTube tutorials are some of the best and most comprehensive, providing you with exact how-tos on just about any feature. It’s elegant, offers great service, and is highly customizable.

Canva

Canva is an amazing tool for creating digital products, banners, guides, Reels, and social media posts. They have a free version and templates for you to use. I’m certainly not a design expert, so Canva’s templates provide me with the ability to create professional-looking designs across the board.

ConvertKit

True audience growth takes place via your email list – a list that you own. Like Hostinger, ConvertKit wants to help you get off the ground…and then blow up. Segmentation, automations, landing pages, ecommerce, it’s a one-stop shop. After trying at least 5 alternartives, ConvertKit is the winner for me.

Business Organization and Planning

Asana

Asana is my favorite project management tools. Their interface and functionality helps me keep my big picutre planning organized and visually presented. The kanban+timeline integration and ability to add multiple subtasks allow me to plan my entire year out by projects, milestones, and timelines. Doing this results in a weekly and even daily todo list being auto-generated.

Trello

Whilst this is technically a project management tool, I recommend Trello as a free tool to plan your content and organize your sponsors or clients. Planning out captions and graphics on Trello provides me with a visual overview and easy-to-follow workflow. Email me if you’d like my content plan template. 

Timezone Wizard

My best friend! I painfully remember the first time I was trying to plan meetings for my stay in Asia with clients based in California. I’m certain the headache didn’t come from the half-a-bottle of wine I had while planning. Fast forward, timezone wizard is my trusted friend and a free and reliable tool to plan your meetings around timezone shifts and even daylight savings mania.

Digital/Physical Health on the road

Magic Trackpad

Get these three items for your spine, your neck, your wrist. You don’t want to hurt your body simply because you’ can’t travel with a standing desk. Now, you could get the Magic Mouse but I’ve found the trackpad to be easier on my wrist and better for swipe shortcuts. Its precision is impeccable.

Magic Keyboard

Get it with the pad, or get the combo version, doesn’t matter. Having the external keyboard allows me to maintain a more ergonomic posture, regardless of where I am. Sometimes, the keyboard even allows me to frankenstein a standing desk. It’s a must have for me.

Foldable Laptopstand

Not the final, but the third Musketeer of maintaining physical health as a digital nomad. My neck thanks me multiple times a day for this purchase. This one is foldable, light, and adjustable…practically made for a nomad.

Digital Nomads Resources

Through finding refuge and healing in Buddhism, Turner shares how she found a way to turn what was a heart-wrenching story into one of empowerment. It’s the first book I read, years ago, that showed me the healing power of true, authentic spirituality. Like anything produced about Tina’s life, this one provokes the big feels.
