Travel Madness, Its Consequences (I)

Issue 10
Japan, Turkey, Switzerland, Iraq

I kept moving from Japan to the Middle East without pause. After the second assignment, I hit a wall. That’s why two issues were missing. They’re coming now, back to back, starting with part one of Travel Madness.

THE BACKSTORY

Don't think.

Wow. I assume it’s not just one long trip, but rather a series of more “typical” trips (unfortunately).

Is there any way you organize yourself so you don’t forget anything, for example, reusable notes or packing list templates?

How do you keep, transfer, or back up your data during such short transitions? I feel like internet speeds are getting faster, but storage usage is increasing as well (so it might be just technically difficult to backup data in good resolution into cloud)

Have you ever lost photos / SD cards?

@dimi you are right like mini trips, i focus on one after the other not the whole thing, makes it easier to manage. i have set packing styles for specific trips. (even though Japan was the first time i tried a more urban packing style :). I keep all my SD cards in one space. Have 3x SSD's and keep them in seperate bags. Soon an issue will be about my packing set ups!

The packing setup is interesting you mentioned you wished you had the M with you. It is good to have the M. But why this trip and not others?
