We’re officially three weeks out from our six-month sabbatical through Asia and Southeast Asia.

Yes, our luggage is covered in cats, and no, we are not taking Stela with us (though that would definitely be a very interesting 166 days).

🌏 11 countries
🏙️ 20 cities
✈️ 24 flights logged
🏡 166 days abroad

We’re ready. If you need us, we'll be the people at the airport trying to claim the bags covered in cartoon paws.

Follow us on our YouTube channel, TikTok and Instagram to see our adventures!

City trips are sneaky—you don’t just pack for a trip, you pack for speed, stairs, subways, and whatever the weather decides. Our take on carry-on vs checked luggage breaks down what actually works for tight itineraries, quick turnarounds, and that “I’m going out again tonight” energy. Less guesswork, more real-world packing strategy you can use immediately. If you’re trying to travel lighter without sacrificing what matters, this one’s worth your time.

It’s the kind of hands-on approach we use to turn a short city break into a place you actually feel. If you like exploring like a local without the research rabbit hole, this one’s for you.

City trips are all about moving fast, staying light, and not fussing with your bag every two minutes—and that’s exactly where a sling bag earns its keep. In this review, we break down how the right travel sling handles real sidewalk life: quick access, comfortable carry, and whether it actually fits the stuff you bring for a packed day. We tested it with the kind of urban rhythm you can’t plan for—crowds, transfers, and “where did I put my…” moments. If you’re planning your next city break and want gear that feels built for the ground truth, this one’s worth your attention.

Packing for a city trip is all about what actually fits, rolls smoothly, and survives the chaos—curb cuts, tight subways, and last-minute detours included. In our Carry On Luggage review, we break down how it performs for urban travelers who want one smart bag (not a pile) and still need to look good in every photo. If you’re the kind of traveler who documents the whole journey, this is a grounded look at what works when your “carry-on” really has to carry your plans.

City travel is all about quick moments—street scenes, neon nights, and that “we found it!” corner you can’t recreate later.

You’ll get lens choices that match how cities move, so your photos and videos look intentional, not accidental.
