What’s in My Travel Bag? (Best Travel Gear for Creators & Digital Nomads)

Curious about what actually makes it into my backpack when I’m filming in far-off places or editing videos in a noisy hostel? Here’s my tried-and-tested list of digital nomad essentials, gear that’s saved my content (and sanity) on the road. If you’re a travel creator, YouTuber, or just want to make your next trip smoother, these are the gadgets I wouldn’t leave home without.

Universal Travel Adapter

Here’s why it’s always in my bag:

  • 🌍 Works in 200+ Countries: Including the US, UK, Europe, Australia & more. No more stressing about plug types or packing multiple adapters.

  • Charge 5 Devices at Once: I can power up my iPad, phone, camera, and power bank overnight. No more socket Tetris in tiny hotel rooms.

  • 🚀 Super Fast Charging: USB-C ports up to 140W, which means my MacBook charges to nearly 90% in just 30 minutes. Ideal for airport editing or fast top-ups.

  • 🛡️ Built-in Safety Features: Includes child safety shutters, a 10A fuse, and fire-resistant materials for total peace of mind in unpredictable Airbnb's.

  • 🔌 Compact & Lightweight: Takes up hardly any space but handles all my tech needs wherever I go.

Honestly? If you travel often, especially as a creator or digital nomad, this is a non-negotiable.
I’d rather forget socks than this adapter. 🧦❌⚡

🔌 My Go-To Travel Adapter - Because I Hate Dead Batteries Abroad

Transcend Portable Hard Drive

When you’re creating content on the go, especially videos, storage is everything. That’s why I always carry my Transcend 2TB StoreJet 25M3 with me. It's rugged, reliable, and literally saves my memories.

This little device may not look flashy, but it’s a powerhouse:

  • 💾 2TB of space means I can store weeks of raw video, photos, and project backups without stress.

  • Lightning-fast USB 3.1 speeds help when I’m transferring heavy 4K footage in hotel rooms or airports.

  • 💥 Shock-resistant design is perfect for rough travel days, it’s been dropped a few times (oops) and still works perfectly.

  • Bonus: There’s a one-touch backup button, which makes saving everything super quick.

For any creator or digital nomad, this is not just a nice-to-have, it’s a must. When Wi-Fi is weak or cloud storage isn’t an option, this drive has my back.

  • 🔋 15-Hour Battery Life: 5.5 hours from each transmitter, 5 from the receiver, and up to 15 hours total using the case, enough for a full day of shooting.

  • 🧲 Magnetic Attachment: Easy to clip discreetly onto clothes, no bulky setup needed. Keeps things minimal and professional.
