Life is a series of collisions with the future; it is not the sum of what we have been, but what we yearn to be.
— Jose Ortega y Gasset
1. Track your water consumption
Recently I’ve been using the app WaterMinder to track my water consumption to ensure I stay hydrated. This well designed app makes input easy and includes iPhone homescreen and lockscreen widgets as well as Apple Watch complications.
2. Upgrade your umbrella
When I started my Digital Nomad journey I decided not to pack an umbrella and instead buy one wherever I was if I needed one. After having difficulty finding an umbrella during rain in Italy I decided to pack an umbrella. After some research I’ve currently settled on purchasing this Montbell umbrella which includes sun protection for hiking and weighs less than half the generic umbrella I currently have. If you don’t need to sun protection take a look at this other Montbell umbrella which is an additional 1.6oz lighter. I discovered the Japanese company Montbell from another digital nomad.
