There’s something to be said for being prepared when you travel for work. The last thing you need to worry about is whether you brought a power cord (or whether you’ll have a place to plug in that cord while you travel).
But beyond the basics, there are travel gadgets that can help with safety and security, connecting with locals, and getting enough sleep so you wake up ready to tackle the day.
Here are our 6 favorite travel gadgets to enhance your next work trip.
