  • Charles Schwab debit card (unlimited ATM fee reimbursements)
  • U.S. passport card (better than carrying my actual passport or driver's license everywhere)
  • backup credit card and debit card
  • ARZOPA portable monitor
  • laptop stand / monitor stand
  • Logitech wireless bluetooth keyboard
  • Marchway lightweight packable camping chair (for beach)
  • SIM card carrying case
  • stuffable day pack
  • Xiaomi Redmi 10 smartphone (my burner phone with local SIM card)
  • large supply of condoms (must less expensive and better quality in USA)
  • Philips Sonicare travel electric toothbrush
  • large supply of Gas-X and Pepto Bismol
  • extra toothbrushes (for overnight guests)
  • Adidas Ultraboosts (or some comfortable shoe for lots of walking)
  • sunscreen (touristy beach towns price gouge)
  • plastic compression bags for clothes

Because I split my time between the USA and nomading, I find it's easier to own duplicates of everything that I use on a daily basis. Two razors, two computer chargers, two two tubs of hair gel, etc. The items designed for travel just stay in a box at home when not in use. Dramatically reduces the chances that I forget to pack something for the trip.

What brand condoms do you prefer? I find that Durex ribbed in magnum size works pretty well for me.
