gear

the travel gear I actually use and recommend

Carry & On Foot

Cotopaxi Allpa 28L - Backpack that somehow counts as a personal item. Opens flat like a suitcase and fits a month of stuff.
Altra Lone Peak 9+ - Zero-drop trail runners I hike, walk, and travel in.
Teva Hurricane Sandals - Really durable sandal for just about everything, from mountain hikes to airport travel.
Eddie Bauer Cloud Cap Rain Jacket - Packable shell that lives in my bag for surprise weather.
Black Diamond Carabiner - Carabiners are my #1 travel rec. Clips gear to the outside of my pack so nothing gets lost.

Tech

DJI Osmo Pocket 3 Creator Combo - The camera I shoot my vlogs on. Gimbal-stabilized and pocket-sized.
MacBook Air (M4) - The laptop I build sites and edit on, anywhere.
USB-C Hub - Adds back all the ports my laptop is missing.
Crucial X9 2TB SSD - Adds back all the storage my laptop is missing.
AirPods 4 - Use when running.
M3 iPad Air - New addition, mainly for watching netflix on flights and long busses...

Desk & Everyday

Journal - Where I draft ideas and keep notes from the road.
Whiteboard - For thinking out loud and mapping out projects.
Creatine - Part of my daily routine, home or away.
Dr. Bronner's 18-in-1 Castile Soap - One bottle for body, laundry, and dishes on the road.
