When you travel a lot, some brands/products really stand out as well designed, durable and/or beautiful. They serve you well in difficult conditions. For me these include...
- Crumpler (Bags and suitcases)
- Belroy (Minimalist wallets etc)
- Native Union (Beautiful, durable cables)
- Allbirds (Shoes)
- Uber (When available, made life so much easier)
- Wells Fargo (Just works. Minimal foreign fees)
- Calendly (Coordinating meetings)
- Anker (Battery packs)
Brands that didn't do so well...
- Apple (overheating, glitching)
- Verizon (Slow or nonexistent roaming)
- Amazon Basics cables (burned out)
- AirBnB (hit and miss, but probably my fault)
What about you guys - any success or horror stories?
