What I always have with me
This is the travel gear I use for running this website. As you might already have read in the FAQ section, my motto is “If it doesn’t fit in my bag, then I don’t need it.” I am a firm believer in traveling light; therefore, I always try to carry only the necessary equipment with me. The gear I use might not work for everyone, of course. For a more extensive version, please check my gear for minimalists: there, you will find how exactly I chose each one of the devices.

Travel Gear: the six things I always have with me
Sony a6300
The Sony a6300 is my primary camera. It’s a 24 MP APS-C camera, and it’s lightweight. It can also shoot 4K videos.
Buy the camera on Amazon
Sony 16-50 f/3,5-5,6
The Sony 16-50 is my all-around lens, and I am overall satisfied with its performance.

Sony 35mm f/1,8
The Sony 35 f/1.8 is my portrait lens. It’s a very sharp and fast lens, ideal for night shots too.

MacBook Pro 13″
I use a MacBook Pro 13″ to write and post-process photos and videos. I’m using the 256 GB version. I highly recommend it.

Lacie 2 TB Hard Drive
The Lacie external hard drives provide enough capacity and high speed, thanks to the USB-C. I use the 2 TB version.

Travel Gear: The things that I use occasionally
Fuji Instax Wide
I sometimes carry the Fuji Instax Wide camera with me. It’s definitely a bit bulky, but I like the Wide-format compared to the Mini one. Plus, I always like to have some printed photos from my journeys. 😉
Buy it on Amazon
Instax Color Film
The film I mainly shoot with the Instax. The colors look great as long as the light is not that strong. This is the film I prefer for landscape and urban photos. Sold in packets of two, which translates to 20 shots.
Buy them on Amazon
Instax B&W Film
I’ve been looking forward to the Black and White Wide film. For my taste, I would prefer some more contrast, but the B&W still looks good and sharp. So I use it mainly for portraits. Sold in single packets, which translates to 10 shots in total.
