Why nor sublet your apartment for a few months and live abroad in a fascinating (and potentially cheap) destination? Here is a list of all the things that make long term travel super easy: Have your home post rerouted to friend (or commercial service) who scans it into a Dropbox account for you. If a friend does it, buy them a multi-page scanner for this. Get a professional agent to manage the sublet of your apartment back home AirBnB for renting longer term accommodation (especially for whole apartments) TripAdvisor for short term hotel stays Cloud services for file storage (e.g. dropbox, google drive) Clound services for backup (e.g. Crashplan or Backblaze) A small scanner app on your smartphone for scanning any paper you need to keep (receipts etc) when abroad Get your online banking set up for all the transaction types you will need to do Get your Credit/Debit cards set for use abroad A password manager (e.g. LastPass, 1Password) for your online passwords An E reader (e.g. a kindle, iPad) to enable you to read as many books as you want while you are away A lightweight laptop for your work A Smartphone with a nice camera for taking pictures and getting online An external encrypted drive for local storage/backup International plugs for all your devices
