Ideally, I would stay at home all day. But sometimes I do have to leave the house.

And when I go somewhere, I like to be prepared. That is why I almost always carry [the Orbitkey 2-in-1 tech pouch](https://orbitkey.nl/products/2-in-1-tech-pouch?variant=48911480652115&ref=alxndrr.com) with me. It is basically a pencil case for all your everyday stuff, especially little tech things.

I throw it into my work bag, sports bag or regular backpack, and I always have everything I need within reach.

### A Colourful Collection

The most important things inside are two power banks. For [my iPhone Air](https://alxndrr.com/the-iphone-air-is-for-people-who-use-their-phone-without-a-case/) I mainly use Apple's MagSafe battery. Click it onto the back and off you go.

If I need to charge other things, like my iPad, AirPods or Switch, I also have an Anker power bank. I almost always carry a USB-C cable, a Lightning cable and a regular USB-C adapter too.

I never leave the house without [my AirPods 4](https://www.threads.com/@alxndrr.nl/post/DPJO3MMjdup?xmt=AQF0EGWv0btcDwns1PGUbHK9XtfYAG%5FV6PkkvqYIplhiUg&slof=1&ref=alxndrr.com). Those things are an absolute gift from heaven. But my tech pouch also has AirPods 3 and a pair of old-fashioned wired EarPods. The AirPods 3 are backup for my AirPods 4, and the EarPods are for video meetings at work.

My MagSafe wallet comes with me too, although that worn-out thing is usually stuck to the back of my iPhone. Debit cards and public transport card.

If I have time to kill, I can [play games on my Nintendo Switch Lite](https://alxndrr.com/i-stole-a-nintendo-switch/). Or I can read [a book on my Kobo e-reader](https://www.bol.com/nl/nl/p/kobo-clara-bw-e-reader-6-inch-16gb-luisterboeken-zwart/9300000173830676/?cid=1759254573005-6572869200370&bltgh=s63B6WvONH6Bj6pH-7NCZg.4%5F57.58.ProductTitle&ref=alxndrr.com).

A little box with allergy medication and ibuprofen is essential too. Same goes for Smints, deodorant and a small fragrance from Parfumado.
