I’m excited to be going on a business trip to Japan soon (Tokyo), and it crossed my mind that there may be interesting Japanese onebag-type gadgets, bags, clothes, etc that would be fun to look for while I’m there.
Any recommendations on unique stores, brands, or items I should seek out?
I’m not talking about “my phone” or “battery” kind of things, I’m talking about that one item that always comes with you on your travels. The one thing you can’t live without.
For me it has to be a lonely planet book for wherever I am going. I can’t help but make loads of notes in the margins for places I’ve been and things I’ve done! I mean sure, I could get a digital version, but for me it’s that one thing I don’t mind making space for.
How about you?
Gear shot: https://imgur.com/a/S7pSdae Not everything is pictured, some of it I’m wearing :p, but that’s most of what I’m carrying.
Overview: I’m (34M) on a 2 month trip which will include: working from hotels/cafes/airbnbs (and maybe a client meeting in person), from the US, Kenya, and a few countries in Europe. I’m attending a casual outdoor wedding in Kenya (might buy a shirt for that), hiking in the Pyrenees for 2-3 days, and sailing a day or two. This is what I started with, I’ll update how the trip went when I get home. I write this after two weeks of travel; having already spent a week in Detroit for work and a layover in New York, and am currently in Nairobi.
Packing thoughts: I like the idea of having most things I travel with fit under a plane seat, which ends up being around 20L. Even when I’m skiing, sailing, or climbing; I find that I like something similar to this setup for the majority of my day to day. There are a few things …
Hoping this helps a few people & myself included.
I’m going travelling soon, and will be staying in a different place each night. I’ll be using a large hiking backpack. I’ve done this multiple times before, but am wondering if a couple of packing cubes will help me to keep things organised in the giant hole that is my backpack. Will they help or will they will waste space, because they are square, and my bag is not. What’s your experience? Is there something else I should be using instead?

Chaps,
Just got your email about the demise of free shipping inside the USA. Sad for you Yanks but understand why the price hike had to happen.
Will we also see a commensurate price hike for international shipping or will that remain steady?
