Last year, I went to Portugal for 5 weeks and carried on one 10 kg backpack and a small sling bag. In the winter. While I was working. Here's every single thing I brought with me. ## Structure - Why? - Cost, but not really - Convenience: mobile check-in, no waiting around for luggage - Security: Your luggage never has to leave your sight; it's easier to keep track of things if you have fewer things - Enjoyment: It can be refreshing to take a break from things so that you can remember what's essential. - The trip - I worked - I made videos and livestreamed - 5 weeks in Portugal in November - house-hunting, different cities - swimming in the Algarve, rugging up in Lisbon - What did I wear? - Icebreaker merino wool underwear - Hunkemöller bra - Pacsafe bra pocket - 1 pair of socks - Icebreaker 100% merino black T-shirt - Jumper - Uniqlo puffy jacket - black Bluffworks pants - Merino wool buff - Ecco black leather shoes - Samsung Galaxy Watch Active 2 - Bags - Heimplanet Travel Sling original: https://amzn.to/3of7VMq - 2L - Aer x Ministry of Supply Lunar pack: https://www.ministryofsupply.com/products/aer-lunar-pack?color=black - 22L - limited edition collaboration - Heimplanet Travel Sling - Nitecore Tini 2 flashlight - Nite Ize S-Biners: https://amzn.to/3d7SUp9 - sunglasses - Nott the Brave face mask: https://shop.critrole.com/collections/all/products/nott-the-brave-adult-face-masks-two-pack - Nanobag 2.0 .

After going through all of that with you, I don't at all feel like I had to deprive myself by not bringing a lot of things. I think I packed well for MY priorities, and I think I could even have left behind a few things. Just because it's right for me doesn't mean it's right for you, but I hope this has shown you that it CAN be done. Thanks for your attention, and until next time, travel light! ## Related videos and resources ## Pre-production - [ ] Take a thumbnail photo and create one for YouTube (1280 x 720). - [ ] Add description. - [ ] Include the title and any keywords in the first few sentences, but in a natural way. - [ ] Add related videos and resources as links. - [ ] Add end screen. - [ ] Add cards if necessary. - [ ] Add video to relevant playlist(s), or create a playlist if necessary. - [ ] Create captions using Descript or using the script, then edit them. - [ ] (For k6 videos) Send Floor thumbnail and video link for promotion. - [ ] Add chapters for YouTube if longer than 5 minutes. - [ ] Schedule on YouTube. ## Post-production - [ ] Promote on personal social media. - [ ] Twitter - [ ] LinkedIn - [ ] Create a blog post on [nicolevdh.com](http://nicolevdh.com) - [ ] Include in a weekly newsletter.
