Venture with Ease

Over time, I’ve learned how to move simpler and smarter—without losing the joy.
Venture With Ease is packed with the tools, rhythms, and strategies I use to keep travel light and intentional—from packing guides and routines to tested systems and mindset shifts.

GEAR THAT MOVES WITH YOU

Luggage

The right luggage keeps you lighter—mentally and physically. These are the bags I trust to handle long airport days, unpredictable transfers, and everything in between. They're well-built, easy to move, and designed for travelers who want function without fuss.

Top Picks

Away Carry-On

This is my go-to for short trips and one-bag travel. It’s lightweight, glides smoothly, and somehow fits more than you’d expect—without looking bulky. Meets carry-on size for most major airlines and comes with a built-in compression system that actually helps.

Why I like it:

  • Clean design, fits overhead bins with ease

  • Interior compression and laundry bag = clutch

  • Durable shell but still lightweight

Away Large Checked Luggage

When you need to check a bag, this one travels well. It’s sleek, tough, and easy to spot. Great for longer ventures or traveling with gear-heavy items. The zippered compartments and compression straps make it easy to stay organized without overpacking.

Why I like it:

  • Tough exterior without feeling heavy

  • Effortless rolling—even in busy terminals

  • Internal layout keeps things tidy under pressure

Peak Design Travel Backpack

Technically a backpack—but good enough to replace a suitcase for some. This thing expands, compresses, and adapts to however you move. Great for those who want the carry-on freedom but might have to wear their gear now and then.

Why I like it:

  • Minimalist but functional design

  • Zips open fully like a suitcase

  • Expandable to 45L and fits carry-on bins when compressed

Luggage Tip

You don’t need a dozen bags—you need one or two you trust. Invest in the right ones now and skip years of frustration.

Other Bags I Love

NOMATIC Navigator Backpack

Built for smart organization, this expandable backpack is great for business travel or short trips where tech protection and layout matter. Sleek, weatherproof, and tough enough for serious wear.

Why I like it:

  • Expands from 20L to 24L

  • Built-in RFID protection and laptop storage

  • Water-resistant and lockable zippers

NOMATIC Collapsible Backpack

This is the bag you toss inside your main bag—until you need it. It folds flat but still has structure, making it a great daypack for hikes, city walks, or quick errands.

Why I like it:

  • Collapsible and lightweight

  • Holds its shape when packed

  • Packs into itself = super space-efficient

NOMATIC Access Sling

A sleek alternative to a chest pack or fanny. Ideal for your phone, passport, keys, and those “I need this right now” items. Great for flying, exploring, or just staying hands-free.

Why I like it:

  • Minimal profile, expandable

  • Magnetic buckle = easy on/off

  • Secure storage for valuables
