Digital Nomad packing list

I get asked all the time about my travels and recommendations on what to pack, so finally, here is my digital nomad packing list! At the end of 2020, I quit my job and embarked on a new life. I left the UK to spend 6 months travelling, and come January 2021 was working remotely in Belize in Central America. You can read more about how to become a digital nomad in Belize here but one thing I had to think carefully about was my digital nomad packing list!

As remote work becomes the norm, more and more people are adopting the digital nomad lifestyle and if you're considering it yourself here is a breakdown of tropical destinations with digital nomad visas. But in this post, I thought that I'd share my digital nomad essentials and what was on my packing list for a hot country on the Caribbean coast.

I stayed at Umaya Village in Placencia, Belize which is right on the beach, and to get there I had to take a teeny tiny plane from Belize City which means a teeny tiny luggage allowance. 15kg! Which for 2 months is not a lot. However, as Belize is a hot country I thankfully didn't need heavy or bulky items and I could keep it quite lightweight. Valuable items like my laptop were in hand luggage for safety, and I like to carry my chargers in hand luggage too plus a spare pair of underwear! I always fly wearing trainers, as they are bulky and take up a lot of packing space. I am obsessed with Aspinal of London's travel range which is SO chic and will keep your documents safely together. It's all made to last, so will go on all your journeys with you. My hand luggage bag then doubles up as a day bag for when I go to work remotely somewhere, a shopping bag at the local supermarket or a beach bag for the weekends!
