Since 2025, I have been living out of my backpack and producing music exlusively from my laptop.
My partner and I sold nearly everything we owned and have spent time living and working in: Spain, Portugal, Morocco, Japan, Taiwan, China, Vietnam, Thailand, Nepal, India, Turkiye, and are currently in Mexico.
We visit locations anywhere from a week to a month at a time while keeping expenses around $500usd/mo each. This list of items has accompanied me to each of these locations, weighing roughly 7.5kg in total.
REI Trail 25: A 25L pack is my ideal size: Small enough to fit as a personal item even on the strictest budget airlines but still large enough to fit everything I need.
Fjallraven Greenland Pocket: For the essentials - My wallet, notebook/pens, phone, earbuds, and passport all live organized within these pockets.
The philosophy I maintain regarding clothing keeps things as minimal as possible without having to worry about laundry too often - I’ve found roughly a weeks worth of clothes is a good balance.
Sleepwear: One ultralight T-shirt and pair of thin running shorts that only see use during the evenings.
