Daily<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I haven’t done a ‘what’s in my bag’ in a while, mostly because I haven’t been traveling solo recently. For those of you who are unfamiliar with this type of post, it’s simply a quick tour of my daily bag, partly to brag and hopefully provide some travel tips.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Bag:<\/strong> An Evangelion backpack that trades compartments and pockets for more space. It’s semi-water resistant, which is good for the climate I’m in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

iPad Pro:<\/strong> My laptop replacement, with a keyboard case (not pictured).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Small Black Pouch:<\/strong> It used to be a functioning Faraday pouch, but it no longer works (somehow). Now it contains all the small wires, memory cards, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kindle Scribe:<\/strong> For more mindful reading and writing. It’s useful to have a separate (and relatively small) device for reading without the distractions of an iPad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Canon RP:<\/strong> With a nifty fifty lens and a wide-angle lens. Depending on where I am, I swap out lenses as needed. Again, it’s better to have a more mindful way to take photos than just using a phone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

LifeStraw Water Bag:<\/strong> A soft, one-liter bag with a filter at the nozzle, much easier to carry than a hard water bottle and can be refilled almost anywhere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Small Battery Pack:<\/strong> Mostly for my phone, but it can be useful for my iPad in a pinch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Moleskine Notebook + Pen:<\/strong> I can’t really explain why I need this AND my Scribe, but I use them both. There are some loose pages in it, so I can write something for someone else too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sony Walkman:<\/strong> Probably the most obscure item for this day and age. There are times when I just want to put my phone away. The Walkman supports wired headsets and hi-fi audio. I’m not an audiophile, but it’s nice to be able to turn off my phone and enjoy music once in a while.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
