so this is basically what I’ve been traveling with for the last 18 months
and it's basically everything I own so in this video I’m gonna go over
everything I own to give you an idea what you need to live your life as a
full-time traveler a travel filmmaker or just a minimalist digital nomad
right now I’m in Tbilisi, Georgia and this is going to be a very jam-packed video so I’m
going to get right into it because there's a lot of information covered so before I go over
what's in my bags I want to talk about what's outside of my bags that I usually travel with
aside from the clothes I have my smart watch which I got last month. I also have my
phone the galaxy s21 ultra. My wallet: so in my wallet I have like my main debit cards
and credit cards over here my driver's license my residence permit and all that
then I have just cash, this is Georgian cash that I’m gonna need here. I also keep like forty dollars
and some other random currencies. here's another new addition to my wallet that I put here recently
is this Smart Tag* thing from Samsung and what this does is if I lose my wallet somehow
this is connected to my phone so I can press a button in my phone and an alarm will go off
on this thing to help me find my wallet what's more interesting is that if I lose my phone
I can press this thing twice and then an alarm goes off in my phone so I can find my phone
as well so this has come really handy in the last two weeks already. So the most important bag that
I always carry with me is my fanny pack right here I usually put my portable power bank right in
here it's empty right now and then in the back I have my passport and an extra mask in case I
need one and in the front pocket I just have my mask and a bunch of coins also in my fanny pack
are these Galaxy Buds pro, just some great noise cancelling headphones, comes in very handy when
you're staying at hostels and sleeping in hostels and someone's snoring too loud. I also have this
jacket which is like really more of a light hoodie which was all I needed in LA but definitely not
enough for uh Georgia. I also have my shoes which are the only pair of shoes that I own
at this point these are some Underarmour hiking shoes I got in Hawaii for like 150 bucks but I
intentionally got some like nice looking hiking shoes so these can like be something I can wear to
the bars to the clubs but also go on like hiking trips on. So now let's talk about what's actually
in my bags this day bag is where I have all my valuable items for the most part. You'll notice
that there's these uh locks combination locks on both this pack and that bag because uh there's
valuable stuff in both of these that I don't want to lose and I usually keep this with me but if I
have to let's say go to the bathroom on a plane and I make sure I lock this stuff before I leave
On the outside on a side pocket I have an umbrella which comes in very handy in a place like Georgia
on the other side I usually have like a one and a half liter bottle of water. Now inside
the bag let's take a look: first thing you'll see is so this is supposed to be for my camera
usually is in my bag but right now I am filming with my camera and a gorillapod so that's not
in there right now. Okay back to the bag this is my secondary lens that I’m not using right now
so I made a full video about lenses and camera gear and everything I use so I’m not going to
talk in too much detail about my filming gear exactly here but I’ll link that other video in
the description so you can watch it if you want to know more about it and then there's my laptop
charger and there's my kindle which comes in really handy when I’m traveling. Mouse for my
laptop. Then we have this file which has like a lot of my valuable stuff like my old passport a backup
debit card backup credit card documentation like vaccination certificates and all that
and a backup hard disk like a 2 terabyte SSD hard drive that I have in here
it's a Samsung t7 this is where I back up all my videos my drone the dji mini 2. I had to throw
away a lot of stuff to make space for this and of course my laptop, the most valuable thing I own. On
the second main pocket I have my rode video micro which is the main mic I usually use for recording
pretty much everything. I’m not using it right now because it's unidirectional as you can see
and I’m talking right now from behind the camera and in front of the camera so this would not work
right now. Chargers so basically there's this one plug with four different usb cables can be
attached in so I can charge my drone my phone my kindle and my watch 4 at the same time. My power
bank this usually stays in my fanny pack if I’m traveling. This old pair of headphones I used to have
that I don't really use anymore, deodorant because uh I can get pretty smelly if I don't use this
and this is my backup phones: old backup phone galaxy s3 this is my most recent phone that I
was using until a month ago called the galaxy s10 Samsung galaxy s10. Right now I’m using the s21
ultra of course so this is my new backup phone and then there's this other pocket here where I keep
like other stuff that I might need like tylenol there's a pen I also keep an extra battery for my
Canon 80d over here handy because uh I always run out of battery if I’m doing like a full day
of filming so always keep it here and always keep it charged. By the way guys this is a really cool
uh North face bag that I just got a few months ago and this cost me like a hundred dollars but
these things last a while so it's really important to invest in a good backpack if you're traveling
for the long term. The last one I had, a very similar bag lasted me well over five years
okay so now let's talk about the bigger bag and what's inside it. This is an osprey porter 46
that I got three years ago before my first trip and this is one of the best bags
ever. My only regret is that I didn't get a slightly bigger bag because this does fit
on the carry-on for a backpack but I never take this as a carry-on anyway I just use it
as checked luggage now. Again there's combination locks in this thing as well, on the back of it
where you're supposed to put a laptop is usually where I put my external keyboard which I need a
lot on the road because I’m a digital nomad and the top pocket this is where I usually keep like
six pairs of underwear and six pairs of socks and nothing else and I feel like six pairs of socks is
honestly too much because I always run out of laundry before I run out of socks. On the outside
pocket is just like a few important things like you know like a sleeping mask ibuprofen extra pens
like a tape what else another backup mouse in case I lose my mouse on the road and I’m not near
a place where I can buy like a bluetooth mouse Now let's go inside the main pocket of the main bag
so here we have my gimbal which is usually the only pair of like expensive electronics
that I don't keep in my other bag over there because there's just no space in that one and
this is probably the least valuable piece of electronic that I have that also takes
up a lot of space so this stays in here Here's my hat that I tend to use from time to time
so this is just like a pill box that I keep for my vitamins it's the one healthy thing I
try to do on the road at least try to eat my vitamins every day. This is the only
sweater I have that's becoming a little bit beat down so might have to get a new one soon
these are my only pair of sandals. I call these bernie sandals. This is some peanut butter that
I have in the bag which is usually the only food that I travel with because you can pretty much get
bread anywhere and just make a sandwich if you're really hungry so this is my bag of toiletries
which has like all my you know toothbrush like mini shampoo mini shower gel contact lenses
solutions, shaving stuff. I use packing cubes by the way if you haven't noticed. This is the main
bag where I have like all my fresh clothes so this one I usually have like six to seven t-shirts
one light tank top one pair of swim trunks two pairs of shorts and these pajamas that I use
I’m not gonna pull everything out but I’m gonna list it there and aside from everything else that
is already in here I have this t-shirt which I got from this guy from a hostel in Prague in 2018. It's
working pretty well. My only pair of jeans which I got in Istanbul like two months ago. I had another
pair of jeans before that that I used for four and a half years and those that were the only pair of
pants that I have so I’m very much a minimalist when it comes to clothes especially I don't get
new clothes unless I need new ones I’m still wearing t-shirts that are in my backpack that
I’ve had since like 2011. I don't have any formal shirts I don't have any dress shoes
I haven't really needed them in the last 18 months I’m probably not going to need them anytime soon
if I do I'll just buy them throw them away because it's easier than carrying it all in my backpack
for one and a half years and not needing it at all. So this is another bag that I have for dirty
clothes because I like to keep the dirty laundry separate for my clean clothes, just makes life a lot
easier when you're traveling. A pair of like knee braces. I have another one somewhere in there and
this is because I do have like a knee injury that acts up from time to time and I usually need to
put this on when I’m hiking or doing something extraneous like carrying a lot of weight. This is
just a mask that I don't really use anymore these are my extra contact lenses oh there's like a
rip in this bag so definitely need a newer bag one thing I’ve learned on the road is that it's
very important to get your contact lenses in advance because it's not always easy to get
good contact lenses on the road especially when you're as blind as I am. This sort of
like gorillapod that I’m filming with right now usually also goes in the bigger bag because it is
valuable but not valuable enough to squeeze into my small bag. This is my travel towel which
I really don't use much these days because most airbnb's hostels in eastern Europe at least have
towels. This is a ziploc bag with all my GoPro accessories so you can see like my
floaty handle my chest strap my head mount and everything else that I could possibly need for
my GoPro when I’m going hiking or surfing or doing some sort of underwater activities this is just
like a bag of general electronic stuff that's like not valuable but something that I might need
so you see there's like more charging cables in there there's like another charger
that I would have to use if I go back to Latin America or the US or some place that doesn't have
those like cylindrical charging slots and a bunch of like other small stuff like headphones and
warranty contracts for electronics I bought So this is all the extra stuff that I have for my
camera specifically so you can see those canon chargers for my batteries
you'll see some cleaning supplies in there there's some like lapel mics and stuff as well
I like to keep these in a separate bag because these come in handy only when I’m filming
so I don't mix it up with the other general electronics bag that I have. I have this
surge protector. I haven't honestly used for a while but might come in handy if there's
a limited number of outlets where I’m charging something and I need to charge a lot of things
at the same time. Here's this waterproof watch that cost me like ten dollars on Amazon that's
used to use back in the day when I was surfing a lot and here I have my journal that I’ve had
for the last 15 years so this is not really like a travel journal like I don't write much about my
travel this is more like a mental health item like whenever I get stressed when I’ve had anxiety or
depression or any of that I just write stuff out in the journal and that makes me feel better
usually. It's scientifically proven to help when you're stressing out and then there's this other
file here where I keep like copies of my passport and other some important stuff that I might need
if I lose my main bag with my passport and stuff on this inner side pocket on one side I have like
an extra pair of glasses my main glasses are in my main bag and just a lot of batteries because
I do tend to run out of batteries fast given like how many electronics I’m using and how many
keyboards and mouses I’m using all the time here I have some extra masks, more batteries actually
and some good old rave glasses that I usually buy in bulk. On the other side, I mostly just have
medication on the other side here and this is really just over the counter medication that I
might need if I get like food poisoning or like a bad cold like I have right now actually. Just saves
me the hassle of having to find like a pharmacy in the middle of the night if something happens or if
I’m in a remote area where I can't find a pharmacy in the middle of the night. Alright guys that is it for
this video. That's everything that I’m traveling with right now and I hope that was helpful to
you. If you have any questions about anything feel free to leave them in the comments. Definitely
a lot has changed since I made my last like packing what's in my bag video three and a half
years ago I think that's everything I need and everything you probably need as a young minimalist
dude at least to travel the world. If you liked this video don't forget to like the video
