Recently, I have been traveling around quite a bit.

Whether it’s for work purposes, or recreational, every time I travel I make sure I carry some essentials with me all the time.

I like to travel light which means every item I have with me must have a purpose. It must be versatile. Whatever the purpose of travel, it should not be just sitting around and wasting space in my backpack.

That’s why I select each and every item in my EDC very carefully.

I am a remote software engineer. Outside my day job, I also blog often and create YouTube videos. Of course that means, I need to have a remote workstation on me at all times.

Everything considered, this is the EDC essentials that work for me. I have used it quite extensively this summer and can confirm it works wonders for me.

So, let’s get to the items now.

Herschel Classic Backpack

I use a very simple and compact Herschel backpack. It’s relatively cheap, spacious enough for me and seriously portable.
