What to Pack as a Digital Nomad

What do you need to pack for long-term travel?

Almost all blogs and experts will tell you that you need to spend hundreds or thousands of dollars on new clothes and technology. YOU DO NOT NEED TO DO THIS!

In fact, you probably own everything you need to get started.

The trick is to not bring too much.

Some of my shirts in my bag

For example, my bag has:

  • 6 t-shirts
  • 2 long sleeve shirts2 shorts
  • 2 pants
  • 7 pairs of socks
  • 7 underwear
  • 3 shoes

AND I probably have too much.

So I usually do laundry once a week to keep things clean.

The main thing to remember is to make sure that all of your clothes match. That will make your life a lot easier when you can grab whatever you need and throw it together.

I stick with blues, blacks, and whites, for the most part, to make sure everything goes together.
