Solerunner Shoes: FX Trainer Mesh: Great 3 season travel shoe; one shoe for hiking, sport and fancy restuarants (I use a sharpie to paint over the red accents) 

Solerunner Shoes "Transition Vario 3 Black Leather": Great for winter travel 

Wool&Prince Stretch Twill China Pants: Good travel pants when it's cooler; needs way less washing than pure nylon/polyester pants; 14 days without washing in 50-60 degree weather was no problem. Dries as fast as most tech pants. 

Bluffworks Envoy Pants: Lightweight travel pants for warmer climates; polyester material so needs washing every week or so but dries fast (overnight) 

Wool&Prince Dress Shirt: I have the Dark Blue Oxford 130 in size S slim fit; it fits true to size (compared to other dress shirts I have), hasn't smelled a bit after wearing for 10 days straight (over merino T-shirt) and can easily be dressed up or down. 

Bluffworks Hopsack Blazer: Lightweight, packable and wrinkle-free travel blazer that almost looks like a regular blazer; for those occasions that call for a more formal look. 

Arc'teryx Atom Hoody: My travel jacket for temperatures of 45 degree Fahrenheit and up 

Arc'teryx Cerium Hoody: My travel jacket for lower temperatures (25-45 degrees Fahrenheit) 

Rab Phantom Rain Jacket: lightweight, mostly waterproof and slimmer fit

Arc'teryx Backpack Mantis 26 L: Nice backpack for one bag travel with no laptop; the two front pockets fit my Earthrunner sandals and my jacket and the top pocket holds my toiletry bag and sunglasses ( I have the older model, see picture)

ULA Dragonfly 30 L: Nice backpack (on the expensive side) that is very water resistant and has some extra room for a laptop or a blazer 

Matador Waterproof Toiletry Bag: With this I don't have to worry about anything leaking into my backpack 

Bose QC 2 Earbuds: The only earbuds that fit my weird ears and cancel noise well enough for me to watch a movie on an airplane

"I like to pretend I already died and asked God to send me back to Earth so I can swim in lakes again and see mountains and get my heart broken and love my friends and cry so hard in the bathroom and go grocery shopping 1,000 more times. And that I promised I would never forget the miracle of being here." (Sophie Lucido Jackson)

"I’ll never forget the feeling I had on the train ride to Munich, Germany, recovering from my illness. Some of the windows were open, the breeze was flowing nicely through the train, and the air was pungent with the smells of nature. It was a beautiful September day, and I put down my book and studied every detail of the landscape. It felt as if a large bundle of worries had been lifted, like a fistful of nonsense had been torn from my mind. The worry and nonsense had been about work, my future, my purpose in life. I realized that travel made me present in the moment like nothing else. I couldn’t put it into words then, but it was the first time I recognized the flow that long-term travel gave me. I hadn’t necessarily loved the outdoors before, and as an introvert I didn’t always seek out people, but suddenly, I felt ready to take on these new experiences. I’d found joy in the brief moments on this trip when I’d made decent decisions. And even the anxiety-inducing moments gave me a certain thrill. I fed off it somehow. I’m going to do this. I’m selling everything, quitting my job, and I’m traveling the world. Then and there, I confirmed my decision." (Jeff Johns)

"There is no feeling like being completely alone, utterly lost, and without any connection to anything you’ve ever known. It’s pure freedom when you find it. I was always amazed at how much more fully I interacted and engaged with the world around me when I was stripped of my familiarities." (Jeff Johns)

"The secret of being happy consists of knowing how to enjoy yourself—enjoy being at table, in bed, enjoy standing up, sitting down, enjoy the nearest ray of sunshine, the slightest bit of landscape: in other words" (Jules Renard)

A skeptical mind is the sharpest sword in the world of knowledge.

"Life is not for living. Life is for practicing. Life is a school." (Ido Portal) 

"Attention replaces tension" (Ido Portal) 

"Ther are no parking spots in this world. Stillness has to be in the presence of the storm." (Ido Portal)

"Focus on what fascinates you, even if it’s uncharacteristic. There is no purpose because there is no line connecting moments in time. There is no plot. You are not a story." (Derek Sivers)
