Packing for long-term travel can be daunting, especially if you also need to work while on the road. To help you out, I’ve put together this comprehensive digital nomad packing list to help you get started.
I’ve been a digital nomad for the last 18 months and have lived and worked in a number of different places around the world. During this time, I’ve fine-tuned my personal list of nomad essentials which I’m pleased to share with you in this post.
From essential tech gear to versatile clothing options and even some handy software recommendations, this guide is full of useful items to help keep you productive, safe, and comfortable during your remote working adventure.
Packing List for Digital Nomads
When choosing the best digital nomad travel gear, it’s important to pick items that are small and lightweight, while at the same time making sure you have everything you need.

There are three main categories to focus on – tech gear, clothing, and bags – and I’ve broken this guide down accordingly. I’ve also included a section on key software and subscriptions that I recommend including in your virtual digital nomad gear list.

I love my 13-inch MacBook Pro. It’s fast, reliable, powerful, and has a great screen that’s ideal for editing photos (which, as a travel blogger, is something I do on a regular basis).
The main downside to these computers is the cost. There are definitely cheaper options out there, but personally, I think MacBook Pros are fantastic pieces of kit and are totally worth their value. Click here to buy one now.
