Smart luggage: a new addition to the urban nomad’s survival kit

As a frequent flier and regular on-train email-checker, I’m always on the lookout for tools and devices to make my life easier on the road. I recently discovered Horizn Studios’ smart luggage, and I’m here to tell you how digital nomads can benefit from carry-ons and cases fit for the 21st century. After all, staying connected is no longer a luxury; it’s a necessity.

Horizn is a Berlin-based smart travel brand, which designs innovative travel accessories for the new age of ‘urban nomads’ and frequent travellers (that’s me). The company is truly multinational, with its suitcases’ lightweight polycarbonate made in Germany, silent, gliding 360-degree wheels produced in Japan and leather crafted in Italy. As a multilingual interpreter with a love of other cultures, this aspect really appealed to me.

Here are some of my favourite things about my Horizn case:

• Leather and nylon front pocket with space for a 15-inch laptop
• Integrated, removable Horizn Smart Charger with enough capacity to charge my device six times
• 100-day free trial, which inspires confidence
• 30-year warranty – these things are built to last!
• Option to add GPS to track your luggage – no more lost bags!

When I’m travelling back from one assignment and/or making my way to the next, my new case is going to be a gamechanger at every stage of the journey. I’m often on a plane or train willing my battery to last the journey or needing to calculate a quote or send a translation. Now I’ll be able to respond to enquiries and finish off any outstanding work on my way to my next event.

Whether you’re an interpreter with clients all over Europe or a corporate lawyer with a well-worn passport, there’s sure to be something for you among Horizn’s range of premium cases and bags, and there’s always the option to add to your chosen item with wallets, chargers and card holders. However you choose to accessorise them, these bags and cases are absolute must-haves for busy travellers on the go.

If you’re looking for gift ideas for the interpreter in your life this Christmas, or just fancy treating yourself to smoother journeys, I heartily recommend a piece of Horizn luggage. Trust me, it’s worth it!
