Ep.95 We were in Taipei during the biggest Taiwan earthquake in over 25 years. It made us think, “Are we prepared for a natural disaster as full-time travelers?”
Ep.81 We’ve learned A LOT in the last year of traveling full-time around the world. We share what we carry now, what we stopped carrying, and tips to make packing easier. We have no home base, so what we show you is everything we own. Our gear serves us in all but extreme cold weather, which we try to avoid whenever possible!
Ep.48 After traveling full time for half a year, you’d think we’d have it all figured out. Unfortunately, we screwed up twice in Edinburgh Airport. But we also have some important travel updates to share with you!
Ep.35 When we tell people that we’re full-time travelers with no home base, they’re always excited. Then they see our small luggage and backpacks and excitement turns to shock! Watch how we pack for our minimalist lifestyle.
It seems counter intuitive when you’re trying to pack less that you’d pack extra containers for your stuff. Wouldn’t you want every spare ounce to be necessities? Not necessarily. The minuscule amount of weight that packing cubes add does not come close to offsetting the benefit of using them. We share all the reasons that we will never travel without them!
Minimalist packing is all the rage, but is it just a trend or is there validity worth discussing? Why is it such a taboo subject to talk about bringing a 50-pound suitcase for your two-week vacation? Isn’t it supposed to be a good thing to be prepared for contingencies? We discuss the weighty issue of luggage size.
There’s a sinking feeling you get when your hotel or Airbnb door clicks behind you for the last time and you wonder if there’s anything you forgot. And it’s SO annoying when you get a call or an email from them to let you know that indeed you left something behind. We put together this checklist so we can avoid that unnecessary anxiety and instead move towards our next destination more confidently.
Embarking on a new travel adventure brings a rush of excitement, but concerns about safety and belongings can linger in the background. By implementing these extra precautions, you’ll be equipped with more peace of mind and enjoyment as you enjoy your next trip.

There are other gotchas like dealing with limited luggage space, missed flights due to delays, and headaches from not knowing local rules and regulations.
