It’s that time of year when many of us are heading off on holiday, either in the UK or overseas.

Travelling has undoubtedly become more stressful over the past decade due to increasing delays, changes to security and Visa protocols and escalating costs.

To help make travel more enjoyable, our tech twosome Adam and Daniel suggest some of the items they’ll be taking poolside this summer.

Portable Workstation

For those working whilst away, a portable workstation is invaluable. The NomaDesk DeskMate Pro comes complete with laptop stand, fold-up keyboard and phone stand that all folds up to water bottle size that weighs less than 1kg.

Cooling Towel

Useful for both holidays and the increasingly frequent UK heatwaves, these cooling towels are a simple yet effective piece of kit. Simply wet the towel, wring out the excess water, and snap it a few times to activate the cooling effect, then place it around your neck or shoulders for instant relief from the heat.
