Packing for vacation, we used to take so much stuff; giant suitcases with all the outfits, shoes, etc. But as nomads, we’re now “carry on only” and can go on endlessly with just a few things. Our basics: 5 shirts, 2 pairs of shorts, a pair of pants, socks/undies for 5 days, a swimsuit, a sweater, running shoes, sandals, 2 days of workout clothes, and a “date night” outfit. What’s great about this size is that we can easily carry it. And if something is worn, we just replace it with a new one. Regionally, we’ll add more depending on the climate (ie we bought warm weather clothes in Patagonia and then donated it when we left)

Sometimes it's nice to have a home base. Whether it's where your family lives or where you used to live, it can be very grounding. Great to catch up with the important people in your life, take care of maintenance tasks, re-load your gear, etc. For us, time at home base is great, but we're still not yet done with traveling, so the home base has less gravitational pull than it used to.

What initially piqued your interest in nomading and long term travel? For me it was discovering Rolf Potts’ Vagabonding back in 2015 on Tim Ferriss. Went on my first extended trip (4 months) in 2016 https://www.amazon.com/Vagabonding-Uncommon-Guide-Long-Term-Travel/dp/0812992180

Everything is negotiable, including airbnbs. The lower the liquidity, the more negotiating leverage the buyer has: higher end airbnbs, longer stays, low season rentals Internet text-based negotiation is a subtle art. You can always message the host and ask. If you do it with tact, worst case you’ll pay retail

The startup accelerator Techstars has a saying of "Give First" when it comes to networking within the community: give freely of your time to build goodwill in the network, and that usually comes around many fold in the future. When we started traveling, I really focused on the concept of "Family First": how can I make sure that my life priorities *actually* line up with how I spend my time? Using Family First as my guide has paid off many times so far, and I'm grateful to be able to do it.

Been resting after Bansko Nomad Fest but will be back in Asia soon. One important lesson I learned is to know if you will be going into a conference with your social battery full or drained. Unfortunately it was the latter for me, after 4 months of going and hosting meetups. Will take better stock for next year…

If a country has more people that "lean in" to interact with us, it usually makes the top of our list as a place we’d like to return. Often those places also have delicious food cultures as well. And it seems that most great food cultures are built around amazing markets. I wonder if those markets somehow helped to make people friendlier…
