After traveling the world almost full-time for 4 years, I want to show you exactly what's in my backpack. So I have 2 backpacks, one for my clothes, one for my tech. Let's get into it. All right guys, so this is my tech backpack, once again from Aer, and I absolutely love it. I think it's a Tech Pack number 2 or 3, uh, and once again we have one front pocket, one middle pocket, one back pocket, and one pocket at the top for your passport or your wallet. So let's start with this top pocket. So what I have in here is my wallet, I have a mask if I ever need it, which I don't wear, I have my AirPods, I have my credit card holder that plugs onto my phone, that is all I have in here. So on my clothes backpack, I have my passport for easy access at the top, and on my tech backpack, I have my wallet for easy access, and my credit card, and my AirPods. Now on the front part, on the front pocket, I have this bag. So this is where I have all of my cables, and basically I have one, um, one cable for USB-C C, one cable for mini USB, one cable for USB, like, no normal one. And, uh, yeah, let me, let me actually show you what's in here. All right, so I have just this thing from Anker, and what I can do is just change this part. So right now I'm in Mexico and they are using like a US thing, um, and then when I go back to Europe, I can switch to a European adapter, which is— It's Did I lose it? I don't know. Oh, it's here. So this is the European plug, and literally what I need to do is just switch, and then I'm in Europe, and now I can use everything from, um, I can use like all of my cables everywhere. So this is really a good hack that I found to do that. I have USB, like a Lightning cable for my iPhone. I have my Apple Watch cable. I have an adapter for my Mac charger. As you can see, this is the one for the Mac. I have one USB-C see, I have one mini USB for my Kindle, I have this light for my GoPro, I have my Oura Ring charger dock, and I have this, uh, plane adapter for my headset, which I'm going to show you in a second. And this is the charger for my connected water bottle. As you will see, I am connected everywhere. So, uh, and this is like a split audio. I have, uh, two audio, so I can share audio with someone else. So this is good. So that's the first thing. I have my sunglasses from Movement. This is what they look like. I have a pen. I have some vitamin D3, K2 from Athletic Greens. I have a— yeah, a pen. Then I have my Magic Mouse for my computer, easy access. Then I have these two blue blocking lights from RA Optics. So there is the yellow ones for the afternoon when I'm on my screen, or when there is like LED light where I am. And these are the sunset lenses, like the sunset glasses for after sunset. If there is LED light or any artificial light, I'm going to put this on to sleep soundly at night. Once again, I have earplugs here. I have my Kindle, which I read— try to read every night before going to bed. It depends on the book, but generally I try to. I have my external battery, and I have some invitation to an event here in Mexico. And that's all I have in this front pocket. Again, I have a, I have an AirTag in here so I can always keep track of where my bag is. I never check them in when I'm in an airport, so I always have them with me, even in the plane. So I never use them. But just in case, I just have two AirTags inside of my backpacks. Let's go to the back one. So this is literally where I have my computer. It's like the latest M1 Pro, completely maxed out. I have like— this thing is expensive and this thing is heavy. I regret, like, I wish I had like a MacBook Air because I don't use the full power of this thing and it's super heavy to carry on when you're traveling pretty much all the time. It's like, it's a brick. So, so that's all I have. I have some papers in here for my Mexican residency. But that's basically all I have. So I have this tripod which saves my neck when I'm working from literally anywhere. I— it puts my laptop at eye level or just below eye level, and that helps me work more efficiently. So that's that. I have my connected water bottle. So here at the bottom I can unplug this, and this is waiting the water that I drink, and everything is connected to my Apple Watch. And I'm going to show you in a minute everything that I do. I have one goal every day, it's to close 5 rings that I have on my Apple Watch, and I'm going to show you that in a minute. So this is a Hydrate water bottle, and every time I drink, it is going to measure that I have drink, and it is going to glow when it has calculated that I have drink. I think it's not going to work because this is a soft material. Yeah. Every time you want to make a demonstration, there is always an issue. So I'm just gonna put it here. And next up, we have my headset, which is a Bose 700, and I put this on the plane, uh, and I literally hear nothing. I have the adapter to watch movies or this kind of things. Um, then I have a Remarkable. So I use this to do like a 5-minute journal every day and every night. So I write 3 things that I'm grateful for, um, 3 affirmations, and what would make today great. And at night, I review my day: 3 amazing things that happened today, how could I have made today better, and the 3 tasks that I'm going to work on tomorrow. So that's all I have in here. This is, um, kind of a Kindle, but I can write on it. And like, this saves me from using hundreds of journals. And since I'm traveling always I just need to carry this. It's the same as the Kindle. I just need to carry my Kindle and I don't have to have hundreds of books. I just need to carry this, so I don't need to carry hundreds of journals. And it's connected to my Google Drive. I can share everything. I can type on my phone, get it on my reMarkable. I can type on my computer, get it on my reMarkable. Everything is synced. And I love it because there is zero distraction and, that helps me stay focused. And really what I use it for is like planning my life and planning my days and writing when I'm at an event, all the notes that I need to write and store everything in one place. So I do recommend a reMarkable if you are traveling and you take notes. Even recommend starting journaling if you are not. So this one is my tech pouch. This is where I have my, uh, MacBook Pro charger. Some SD cards, some cards, and my hard drive, so external hard drive. And that's pretty much I have here. I just put my mouse in here, and that's what I have right there. I have some adapters from USB to USB-C, and that's basically it. That's all that is in there. And finally, I have this one, which is like a GoPro thing, and I have a GoPro inside of here. I have external microphone to have way better quality. And right now I am recording on the DJI mic, as you can see right here. So you have two microphones, one, two, and you have some adapters. So I can plug this on my computer and it works on my computer, and I can plug— I have another plug that I'm using right now inside of my iPhone, and it plugs to the Lightning port on the iPhone. So I absolutely love this. It's so easy to use and the sound quality is great. And when— if you have an interview, you can split the sound from one person and the other, and it's just working like a charm. So I highly recommend this if you're doing some podcasts or even like recording some videos. Um, and I just have some cables. I have like the dead cat to put here if I ever record outside, and all things for my GoPro, external battery, Lightning adapter to audio, and, uh, that is It. So that's all I have in this backpack. That's literally my entire life. This bag also have a water bottle compartment in here, and on the other side has a, uh, secret pocket so you can hide this thing and you can put your AirPods or whatever you want. I never used it, to be honest. And, uh, inside of the bag you have like different compartments. So this is where I put my Remarkable and here I don't really use these compartments, um, but yeah, again, it's been 2 or 3 years that I have this bag. It's looking brand new, like the material here is like super strong and it's looking brand new, like it travels with me everywhere I go and I literally had zero problem. Like the zippers are very, very high quality. This one is waterproof. This one is waterproof as well, but I think that can infiltrate in here, and this one as well. But I think that can infiltrate in this material, I'm not sure. But I really, really, really love it and highly recommend it if you are looking for a tech bag. So guys, that's pretty much all I have. One last thing, one last bag that I have is this one. So this bag is generally at the back of my clothes backpack, but I have so many things since I'm here in Mexico that I needed to put I have some stuff in here, so I have some tea bags for sleep that I drink tea before I sleep. Then I have the eye mask. So generally where I go, um, like there is like only shadow things and like it's not pitch black, so I just use this Manta sleep mask and I see nothing. Everything's dark even if I'm in a, in a light environment. Everything is going to stay dark. So, um, I highly recommend this. It takes like a week or two to adjust yourself to sleep with this, even with the earplugs. But now that I'm used to it, I just go to sleep, like in 5 minutes I'm asleep, and I sleep like a baby. So after that, we have some supplements. So I have a lot of supplements in here. So all of them come from Double Woods Supplements. So I have Lion's Mane mushroom. It's for like cognitive performance, so supports nerve growth factor and support the immune health. And generally, so this is associated with like remembering things and stuff, like, correct me if I'm wrong, but, um, that's what I'm— why I'm taking this. So I have 3 bottles of this. Then I have Alpha GPC. Alpha GPC is really for you to, um, like get in the zone, get focused, and this thing works like crazy. When I take this like 30 minutes before a work session, I'm literally in the zone and I just work, work, work, work, work. Um, then we have Fadogia agrestis. So this I learned from Andrew Huberman on a podcast about testosterone improvements, and I, I'm all about like natural stuff, so that's why I wanted to try this. And so far it's doing pretty, pretty good good work. And coupled with Tongkat Ali, which is, um, another testosterone improvement thing, um, like, I'm feeling really, really good. I go to the gym like 4 or 5 times a week, and I can see some results. And like, I feel great. Literally, I've, I've never felt that good in my entire life. So I really feel a difference from before and after. And just the drive that I have, like, I want to get shit done, and I want to just— like, I have no time to waste. And this is like a great, great booster that I feel even recording this video. I feel like that helps, like taking Alpha GPC with Lion's Mane and all the testosterones improvements. This helps a ton to get shit done. So that's what I wanted to show you. I also have some ghee butter just to cook. Um, I heard it was like way better than cooking with raw butter. Then I have a shake right here. So this is what I use to prepare all of my shakes. I have some açaí powder to make some açaí balls. So I recently done a Viome test and they told me that açaí is one of my superfoods. So that's why I have this. Then I have some vegetable protein from Falcon. This is a brand that you can find here in Mexico. So this is a— I think it's a vegan protein. Yeah, a vegetable protein. And yeah, it doesn't taste good, but at least I get some protein. And I have this Herbalife Strength. So this is a post-workout and this helps with muscle growth, etc. This is so good, guys. It's chocolate flavor. And like, literally every time I go to the gym, I just look forward for my post-workout. Mm-hmm. Drink because like it's just so good. It tastes so good and it helps me grow muscle. So that's 2 in 1 and I absolutely love it. And that's all I have in this, in this bag. So, um, yeah, that's literally my entire life right there inside of this video. You've seen everything from my tech backpack to my clothes backpack and the supplements, what I eat, and all the techs, all the gadgets, everything that I have. And, uh, That's all I own. I traveled the world for the past 4 years and, uh, I finally found that I have something that works for me. I wear all black so I don't need to make any decisions. I have like all the tech that I need. I know how to use the tech. I use the tech. Right now I'm recording on a DJI Osmo Mobile 6, so this is a stabilizer. And if I take it around, you're going to see that this is stable, like I'm walking but you can't really make the difference, and there is no shaky thing. So that's literally another thing, like another gadget, um, that I use and that I recommend to you, um, if you're into like recording stuff and etc. Guys, that is it for this video. Let me know what you think in the comments. And I know this is pretty long, um, this is one of the first videos that I start to record again on my YouTube channel. I am going to post one video a week moving forward So if you have any ideas on what you guys want me to show you, then put a comment in the description below. Don't forget to subscribe. I know you hear this on all the channels, but I have some business, mindset, travel, lifestyle, whatever you guys want me to talk about, I will talk about it. Like some of these things I can go deep on, like blue blocking light glasses, like nutrition, exercise, what's my routine, what I eat. Yeah. Even on my computer, like what I do to get some, uh, productivity done, like Pomodoro or this kind of things. Like literally anything you want me to talk about, I will make videos on it.
