Surfshark | VPN & Online Security
Equipment: A powerful VPN service that keeps your data safe, protects your privacy, and lets you and multiple devices get access to content securely while travelling the world, or from home.
Collaboration: When we first started living on the road and working online, we heard about Surfshark VPN and used it ourselves for around 18 months. So, when the Surfshark team reached out and asked us to become brand ambassadors, it was a no-brainer. Fast forward over five years, and they’re still with us — helping us (and our community) stay protected online as the risks of cyberspace continue to grow.
About: Surfshark provides more than just VPN protection — with tools like malware blocking, identity protection, and secure browsing, they’re a trusted choice for digital nomads, travellers, and anyone who values online safety.

Roamer | Power Systems
Equipment: Off-grid battery and power solutions designed for full-time travellers.

With their expertise, they designed a full electric system that allows them to dial in remotely and check on our setup wherever we are in the world. Living off-grid full time, that kind of peace of mind and reliability is priceless — we really do have the power now!

Lifesaver | Jerrycans & Water Purification
Equipment: Rugged water purification products, including the iconic Lifesaver Jerrycan, designed to make contaminated water safe to drink anywhere in the world.
Collaboration: When we announced our plan to drive around the world in 2019, our friend Kat from Wandering Bird introduced us to the Lifesaver team. As a living kidney donor, I’ve always been cautious about drinking tap water abroad and water from an old van tank doesn’t fill me with confidence! When I reached out to Josh from the sales team before our next expedition, he was just as excited as we were. Lifesaver generously sent us a brand-new Jerrycan to fit in Trevor the TREAD Truck when we arrived in Malaysia.

Jackery | Powerbanks & Solar Panels
Equipment: Portable power stations and foldable solar panels designed to keep travellers, campers, and overlanders charged up wherever they roam.
Collaboration: While travelling with Trudy, we quickly discovered that our 2x 100w solar panels and 2x 100ah sealed batteries just weren’t enough. More often than not, we had to drive simply to generate enough power for our laptops and editing work. When the Jackery team reached out, we were introduced to one of the best pieces of kit we’ve ever used. Their powerbanks and foldable solar panel have kept us powered up ever since — and they’re still part of our setup today. We’d recommend them to anyone!

ConnectPls | Hotspot & eSIM Providers
Equipment: Reliable global hotspots and eSIM solutions that keep travellers connected wherever they are in the world.
Collaboration: During Covid, when we spent 95 days in an old town Istanbul car park, we quickly realised our SIM cards were running out. We even announced on social media that we’d have to “go dark” until we could buy more data. That’s when Ozgur and the ConnectPls team reached out and offered us an unlimited data hotspot — and we’ve been using it ever since. Their passion for our travels and support of our mission to share positive, inspiring content has made them invaluable partners from that day onwards.
