Slow Travel FAQ Part 2

These are some questions I get once I do my “slightly different kind of traveling”. Figured a FAQ web page would make sense.

💬 When you are working alone at cafes, how do you go to the bathroom? Do you convey your laptop computer alongside to pee or poo?
Actually, I’m used to leaving my Mac, iPads and bag alone and belief that nobody will take it. Of course I’ll take absolutely the necessities with me like my cellphone, passport and pockets, however more often than not, I really feel fairly protected leaving my units there. Oddly, I really feel much less protected when I’m in Malaysia… 😂

💬  Do you convey your work with you?
Yup! My laptop computer goes with me virtually in all places. Except once I know I’m simply going out for a meal (and never keep to work), or nature journeys.

💬  Do you meet up with folks if you journey?
If I do know the place a Malaysian touring there too, yup. Take Aaron Lee MBA for instance. I’ve by no means had an opportunity to fulfill him 1:1 in KL, however we had espresso in Chiang Mai!

💬 If you are away for just a few weeks at a time, do not it’s important to convey numerous garments?
I often journey with solely 4 pairs of clothes with me, making an attempt to maintain my baggage underneath 3.5kg (minus my tech bag). Where coin laundry will not be out there, there’s often 24-hour laundry providers. Or worst, simply money on night 1 and by day 3, it is often wearable once more. I often have 1 further buffer set in case of unhealthy climate.

💬 Luggage underneath 3.5kg?
Yup, if I’m touring alone, I don’t verify on baggage. In truth, I do not know find out how to verify baggage till I met Noelle Chong. That means my carry-on should not exceed 7kg. Most stuff like toiletries you may get if you’re overseas. What else you gonna convey? Instant noodles and a rice cooker? 🤣

💬 Do you do 1-bag journey then?
I attempted just a few occasions, however my day by day bag will likely be too massive. Imagine having to hold an virtually empty 28L bag to work at cafes. I usually have one other 20L backpack as my baggage bag, and my essential backpack/sling is often between 9L to 13L. Lately I’ve been exploring duffel baggage too. Trolley baggage? Only when I’m not travelling alone.

💬 What does touring gentle teaches you?
1. I might pay premium for one thing that is moveable, multi-purpose, and lengthy lasting.
2. People do not pay as a lot consideration to what you put on as you suppose.
3. I have to be intentional with what I carry.
4. Makes me consider the baggages, bodily and emotional, that I carry.

If you wish to know extra about sluggish journey, or mini-digital nomading, let me know within the feedback beneath. Since I’m touring for the subsequent 2 months, I’ll spend extra time documenting this facet of me.
