Welcome to Part Five of our series on how to become a Nomad. Today we talk about the Tech and Apps you need to be a Nomad. It takes up so much real estate in our carry on and it's such an important part of our lives we need to make sure we get it right. We start with something we use everyday. Our Amazon Firestick 4K which allows us to watch TV from anywhere in the world in a hotel or cruise ship.

When you are on the road, and this is essential for everybody, if you are a Nomad or not a VPN is essential to keep your information secure on your phone, computer and any device you connect to the internet. While we are traveling our phones are essential so we need them to be connected wherever we are in the world. We use Airalo Esim, Google Voice and WhatsApp together which allows us to communicate throughout the world. When English is not the first language Google Translate and Google Lens are essential so we order the right food or follow instructions, it really makes life that much easier. We then talk about region specific apps, like Line in Thailand and Grab in South East Asia. The list is many and varied but it's pretty easy to find out what you need wherever you are in the world.
