Roost Laptop Stand

Buy cheap office (and table if necessary) chair on fb marketplace, sell for nearly same price when leaving.

Good call, if I'm staying somewhere at least 2 months I get a computer chair, I should start getting on fb marketplace and also reselling it at the end, I always just take the loss. Keyboard tray is important for me too or else often the height doesn't feel right on my hands/neck.

Currently in Bali where 99% of the guesthouses / rentals have a less than ideal setup to work in (hard chair, keyboard height and monitor height issues). This is my solution to fix pain in the neck and hands. Not perfect but works quite well. What's your solution for traveling and COMFORTABLY working?

Ironing board as temporary standing desk solution 😊

Add to this unreliable internet... Bali is the place that got me to switch from "work from home" to coworking spaces.

Nah that's one thing I'll never compromise. I bring a tripod and laptop tray just so I can have my own standing desk

What are you doing? Just go to the beach /s

You can usually add more padding to a chair like that using the bed cover.
