Packing your stuff to go traveling? What are you taking with you?

When you go traveling, packing all the stuff you need in a small backpack is quite an experience. Doing it you realize how attached you are to material things, if you are at all. There are some things that are a must like hygiene stuff (a towel, toothbrush, soap) and at least a few pieces of clothing. Then its all up to you what gadgets you want to take with you. A camera, portable speaker, a laptop. What do you really need? Well I guess that depends on the motive of your travels. If it is leisure you shouldn`t need to bring a lot with you, then if you are traveling for work reasons... well thats another story.

I am thinking about all this because I will be traveling soon, and it will be a mix between leisure and work. This time the reason of my traveling will be to create content for Steemit, and to promote Steemit too. So I will need my laptop, my new camera and a little tripod. And since I want to travel with just carry on luggage, that leaves little to no room for other things. When the time to pack all my stuff comes it will be really interesting.

I will prioritize my work, content creation, and leave variety of clothing on the side. Since I will be going to south east Asia, I wont need much clothing to be honest. I will be in flip flops, shorts and T-shirt all the time so... I will take with me the very essentials (when it comes to clothing). It will be quite an experience for me, since in all my precious travels, I always had plenty of clothes in my 70 liters backpack. Of course, being able to dress differently everyday is great but oh well... I will prioritize my work and leave comfort on the side.

So my Tetris gaming skills will come handy at the moment of packing all my stuff. Let´s see how it works out in the end.
I am looking forward to being on that plane starting my adventure, just cannot wait!

I leave you guys with some pictures from my previous travels. Hope you like them. Thanks for reading and for your support!

I like to bring my pillow and blanket from home and my acupuncture mat, traveling light is overrated.

It can be overrated yeah. But when you travel for long periods of time, carrying so much stuff gets really annoying 😊

As long as I have little bit of money on me, one backpack would be sufficient. :)

Ohhh at the time of going on a trip the backpack or suitcase as we say in my country is the most conflictive to talk because we do not know what to do that we do that we are selective as we know that we can be presented.

Greetings from Venezuela impressive images

Thanks for your support!

@dontstopmenow amazing photographs above. Looks like are quite the traveler. What a wonderful way to experience life on this beautiful earth.

On packing, I have always overpacked. I wanted to plan for all of the what ifs? Rarely did I use most of what I had packed, but it all had to be sorted through when returning home, so it still created unnecessary time and energy into something not so beneficial.

On my last travels I decided that I was not going to continue this pattern and I under-packed intentionally. I felt so much more light and carefree. I didn't spend time going through luggage and making decisions on what was needed for the day. It was pretty basic. So yes, pack less injoy more!

Have a blast in Asia. 🦋

Keep the good work bro!!!
It’s only the creation of content the reason of your travel? I mean.... steemit was your motivation? It’s Amazing!! Hahahaha
I really love your posts, best regards bro

It is. I want to travel just to create content. Of course that I also really like traveling, but the reason of my travels would be to create content for Steemit, thats for sure.

Thanks for your support!
