Miles and Moments—  Travel Journals  

Reliving every moment matters. In addition to the things I just shared, one thing that I will never forget to bring is my travel journals.

Here are my top 4 extra essentials that I packed during trips:

• Gadgets: Digital nomad’s weapons include phones, camera action, lightweight laptops, and noise-cancelling headphones.
• Wifi and portable chargers: Portable all-in-one charger stations and strong connections to keep me connected, no matter what part of the world I am.
• Weatherproof clothing: Unpredictable weather doesn’t have to interrupt my plans. Weatherproof jackets and pants are essential for adventure seekers like me. I also packed some of my personalised activewear for sudden high-energy activities like exercise and hiking.
• Energy Bars and Supplements: Adventures require energy, so I pack lightweight, nutrient-packed snacks or hydration tablets for those extra demanding days.
