Not Your Average Office (tour & work routine)

Not Your Average Office (tour & work routine)

We’re showing you a side of life we never have before, our floating office and work routine.  Why?  Because it’s what we spend a major chunk of time doing every week.

And working remotely has (finally) become a norm in society which means it’s more possible than ever to work from anywhere!  A boat, an RV, a quaint Greek café, or at the top of the hill next to cows in New Zealand.  Whatever floats your boat.

A while back we asked on Instagram if you would be interested in an office tour and the response was a resounding YES, with lots of questions on what you wanted to see and deets you had to know.  So, here it is.

We tried to incorporate all your requests including what didn’t work and why.  What programs we use, who does what, and a rundown on all our gear.

We did not dive into how to create videos because that’s an overwhelming topic that we couldn’t possibly squeeze into one video (nor is it a subject we want to cover. We’re all about the adventures, the nomadic lifestyle, and the gear that makes the lifestyle possible).  Plus, there are a lot of great courses and YouTube channels out there dedicated to video editing and storytelling.

Hard Drive

Currently using a Samsung 870 PRO w/Enclosure.  But, it’s getting older and I will switch to:

Tablet Stand

So old it’s no longer made anymore.  Sorry.

Phone

iPhone 12 Pro  (we share a phone so there isn’t one listed for Jason)

GENERAL OFFICE EXTRAS

Printer

We never anticipated using the printer as much as we have.  Otherwise, we would have gone for a different model.  But we do highly recommend having one on a world cruising boat.

Waterproof Case

Ugo

This comes in various sizes for everything from phones to tablets and smaller laptops.  Waterproof, floating & lightweight.  Perfect for boat life!

Backpacks

WANDRD PRVKE 21 BACKPACK 21L

This is our newest bag and is our go-to for outdoor adventures. Rugged, water-resistant, rolltop, and comfortable.

PEAK DESIGN EVERYDAY BACKPACK 20L

This a smart-looking, well-designed all-around backpack for photo/video, travel, as an overnight bag, or just touring around the city.

ONA BRIXTON MESSENGER BAG

Gender-neutral bag for when we don’t want to haul around a backpack.  Fits enough camera gear for the day plus a safe spot for the iPad.  Durable, water-resistant canvas, and I love the double pockets in the front.
