Ah…packing. The unpleasant, lingering step-sister of traveling.
In this short video you’ll learn how and what to pack for your next travel adventure. During this particular trip, I’ll also be working from abroad. You’ll get an overview of all the tools and equipment I recommend you carry if you’ll be doing the same.

Having the right tools and packing correctly is a big part of it. Whether you’re on vacation, a workation, or just living the Freedom Lifestyle — there’s something in this video for you.
