In this video, I'll share my tech AND travel edc for a 6-month trip in the first half of 2024. Because this is a business trip and also, because I'm still planning on making videos for the channel while I'm abroad, the tech considerations I'll be bringing matters and is something I've never really uploaded about.

    Because of your videos I have started putting together my own travel EDC and organizational pouches for different uses. Thank you for your help! ❀
  • @1008lulu
    I was a loyal user of passport wallets, until I was in Southeast Asia one time, and a thief easily took majority of the cash I was carrying, several public transport cards AND my passport. I now store passport separately from everything else.
  • @user-ez6nu2ot4y
    I do wish that this information was available 20 years ago when I lived in Malaysia for 3 years and travelled to the US on a regular basis. Now that I am retired and my globe trotting days are behind me I still greatly enjoy what Maurice brings to all who take in the videos. So very well thought out and presented.
  • @duggrim3946
    Absolutely love the content. While your video subject matter doesn't always pertain to me it is always thought-provoking. I recently purchased the Alpaka Bravo Max sling and it has become my daily carry bag. Larger than a fanny pack gets smaller than my messenger bag it fits my needs perfectly
  • @LofiMiso321
    Bruh this dude and his channel are the best for when it comes to organization for travel.
  • @Manachtron
    Maurice, I love your professionalism! The infobox is flawless with useful timestamps, links and additional info. Your camera skills and editing are top notch and I like the way you recommend things without being pushy or too forward. Thanks!
  • @cecilereyna
    I love this serie of videos from your channel! I began to be more thoughtful about my EDC in general. Of course I can't afford one like yours but it's a good guide for cheaper options.
  • @2Sam69
    I love the way you make everything super simple,quick and easy to understand;)
  • @cheeto8481
    Love your content. So practical and helpful. It's because of you that I have the normal and passport versions of the Traveler's Notebook with Lamy pens.. Best to express myself and write stuff down so I don't forget! Well done Maurice.
  • @whitejade1000
    Very organized! I learn a lot from you. Have a productive and fun work trip!
  • I got the bellroy travel wallet because of one of your older videos. I've used it for two international trips at multiple locations and it has been amazing.
  • @user-pt9mm3ll3j
    Love how organized your bag is, I could never be that tidy lol.
  • @JillStella
    It is so nice to see an EDC video with used gear. You actually use your gear which is awesome,
  • @brycel4595
    Great video! Excited to see a new travel EDC vid
  • Thanks for this video - it helped me minimize the number of things I needed to take with me on my recent trip to Taiwan. The Anker GanPrime charger was a great solution - I strongly reco people bring along the support sleeve/gasket that comes with it. I found the weight of the device made it want to slip out of outlets easily - especially on the flight.
