Gear We Actually Use
No sponsorships influence these picks. If it’s here, we paid for it and it earned its place in the pack.
Carry
David's Pick
Aer Travel Pack 3
The one bag that ended our checked-luggage habit for good. 35L that meets carry-on rules worldwide.
Sleep
Diane's Pick
Cocoon Ultralight Liner
Adds warmth, protects against questionable hostel bedding, weighs less than a paperback.
Tech
Both Use
Anker 65W GaNPrime
One charger for everything. We left our laptop brick at home the day this arrived.
Who We Are
David
& Diane
We quit our jobs, sold the car, and bought one-way tickets. That was four years and forty-three countries ago.
New Nomads is where we document everything honestly — the extraordinary moments, the logistical disasters, the gear that earned its spot in the bag, and the places that changed how we see the world. We write for people who believe travel is something you do, not somewhere you go.
