This is the list of gear / stuff that we pack. For more on our thoughts of how/what/why, see our post on Packing for Perpetual Travel.
Bags
Stuff | Notes | |
---|---|---|
GoLite Jam2 Backpack x 2 | 50L ultra-lightweight pack. Can be used as daypack / carryon. No longer available, but super reliable - we've had these since before our honeymoon hiking trip. | |
Samsonite spinner | Light weight / maximum checked bag size. Used primarily to carry all of Jr's gear (toys, books, clothes) | |
Chrome Messenger Bag | This is my old bike commute bag. Still going strong years later, doing heavy duty as our laptop / electronics / carryon bag. | |
Cipu Backpack/Diaper bag | Winnie's day pack/carry on/diaper bag. Hers is bright gold in color which makes it really easy to find her in a crowd :) | |
Packing cubes | Used to arrange/separate clothing for easy access/packing. 1 for shirt, 1 for underwear/socks. When we arrive at a new Airbnb, unpacking is as easy as dropping these into a dresser. |
Electronics
Electronics | Notes | |
---|---|---|
MacBook Air x 2 | We each have a 13" laptop. | |
Twelve South Macbook Case | This holds both laptops and looks just like a vintage book. Great for putting on a shelf when you go out. Nobody wants to steal an old book. | |
iPhone 7 Plus x 2 | We each have an iPhone. | |
Kindle Paperwhite x 2 | We each have a Kindle. | |
Wahl Li+ shaver | Battery operated, so can charge and use anywhere. I've blown up too many shavers to use anything else. | |
Google Chromecast | Plug into any modern TV and stream content. Great for rainy days. An Apple TV or Amazon Fire TV stick would work too. | |
Dual voltage hair dryer | Some of us have hair. | |
Power Adapters x 4 | US to Europe/UK plug adapters. | |
Cables / chargers | all of the cables/chargers for the various devices |
