Here’s our Intentional Travelers collection of blog posts on transformational travel experiences, travel tips, interviews, and guides for meaningful trips.
Today we’re covering something we get asked often when traveling long-term: what do you pack for multiple months of travel? In this two part series we’ll share our long term travel packing list recommendations for both travel clothing and gear essentials. Part One: Global Nomad Clothing Today’s post includes: 1. How to pack for your…
Whether it’s in government, a non-profit, or a random gig on the other side of the world, these are the best sites we know of to get your international job search started. We originally wrote this post to help our fellow Peace Corps Volunteers look for interesting, meaningful jobs after their two years of service…
There are many different ways to travel. Personally, we like to spend time getting to know a place, its people, and its culture. We aim to keep our costs low and stretch our dollar to create meaningful experiences. Whenever possible, we try to stay active as we travel; and we’re always looking to learn something new….

If vacation is an escape from real life, then we propose that the real value of travel is about much more than taking vacation. To us, intentional travel has changed our lives. (When we first became digital nomads, we essentially gave up vacations. This is because we can work and travel at the same time….
We pack and re-pack our bags a lot as Digital Nomads. Typically, we travel with a backpack and laptop bag each; or a rolling carry-on suitcase and a laptop bag. Our trips can be a house-sitting gig just a few miles away, to visiting our Peace Corps community in Jamaica, or country hopping around Europe…
We’ve written quite a bit about digital nomads because that’s what allows us to pursue transformational experiences around the world. Now that the concept of remote work is more common and the number of digital nomads is booming, we get (slightly) fewer strange looks when we talk about what we do to make a living….
