🎒 Complete Nomad Setup

Our tested gear after 2 years of travel: bags, tech, essential accessories.

Traveling as a digital nomad means finding the right balance between being light (you carry everything on your back) and reliable (your gear has to hold up, literally).

🎒 Luggage

We each travel with a 40-45L main backpack, plus a small day-pack for tech. Skip the big rolling suitcases: between unpaved roads and stairs with no elevator, it quickly becomes a nightmare.

💻 The essential tech

We break down all our gear (laptop, phone, camera, accessories) in a dedicated article, with the reasoning behind each choice and the mistakes we made early on.

💰 Total budget

~€3500 for 2 people, split between computing, photo/video, luggage and travel accessories. An upfront investment that pays off quickly if you’re planning to travel for more than a few months.
