I am the dad of this crazy crew. My favorite color is deep red. So far, my favorite spot has been Istanbul Turkey. I own a digital marketing agency that allows us to travel fulltime and I offer coaching/consulting for others who want to build a location-independent business.

Getting gifts for Digital Nomads is tricky enough with all the special considerations of space and weight limits.  Now add to that the fact that the digital nomad is a kid, and the challenge becomes even more difficult.

So, if you are a grandparent, aunt, uncle, or even parent of a digital nomad kid, we believe these ideas are both practical for travel and useful for most digital nomads.

Gifts for Digital Nomads for Health and Safety:

These expandable wipes have been very handy.  In some countries, you either aren’t provided toilet paper in public bathrooms or you have to pay for it.  These wipes are great for emergency TP, cleaning up hands and faces, and so much more.
