My husband works a crazy schedule. When he’s not on the road, he works in a different city during the week. It’s hard on the body and harder on the mind. He has been commuting between cities for years now, and over time we’ve nailed down what essentials make commuting life easier.

Some of the items are on the inexpensive side, but we’ve thrown in a few
Top 20 Commuter Essentials on Amazon
