Minimalist Packing for Digital Nomads

How to travel the world full-time with carry-on luggage only...without Sacrificing Fashion & Style!

For over a decade I’ve been traveling the world as a full-time digital nomad with no permanent base, and I’ve been studying the art of “stylish minimalist packing”. I’ve spent time (and run my business) in over 65 countries on 6 continents, immersed in very different climates and cultures, and I’ve done it all with carry-on luggage.

In this video training, I show you how I pack for both the beach and the ski slopes, dressy nights out and local cultural events, and how I fit a podcasting studio, an espresso maker and a 3-piece suit in my carry-on luggage! I’ve been conducting workshops on stylish minimalist packing all over the world, and I’ve now condensed it into a 60-minute video training. As a thank you for signing up for the Maverick Show’s Monday Minute Newsletter, you’ll get immediate access to the video training.

When I first started out, I had a huge amount of luggage...

In addition to checking a massive suitcase with tons of clothes that I rarely wore, “just in case I might want them”, I thought it would be a good idea to bring a counter-top expresso maker with me…so I packed that too!

After lugging all of this around for a year, I was motivated to downsize for many reasons, but I didn’t want to sacrifice fashion and style….so I began studying the art of “stylish minimalism”.

This video explains WHY you may want to consider a minimalist packing approach, as well as HOW to downsize to carry-on luggage without sacrificing fashion and style. It also goes through WHAT to pack (as well as what NOT to pack) and I share my top recommended travel brands for both men and women. I also do a full luggage audit, starting with the suitcase I use and then itemizing out the specific apparel, accessories, and electronics I pack (including my travel-espresso-maker and my wine aerator.
