I've carried a Bull & Stash journal with me basically everyday for the past two years and I've found no better way to store my ideas, schemes and plans. Recently the company revamped their lineup with the introduction of the Market, Leonard and Allison journals, each one representing a different size in the line. The Market Pocket Journal is my favorite for an on the go life. It fits easily into a pocket or purse and the refillable pages make it easy to keep the ideas flowing. 

A while back I was able to demo the Leonard size journal and it quickly became my go to for meetings and long form writing. I'm a creature of habit and the ability to carry the same journal with me everywhere I go, day in and day out, no matter how much I write in it, is ideal. 

The new models have introduced a much needed pocket to store spare business cards or receipts, a spot to hang your pen and a few new colors as well. The Leonard even has enough room for a small tablet to be held in it's pocket. Check them out at Huckberry right now, who's got them at a little bit of a discount.

You're going to look like a tourist most places you go, so why not go in style with Cotopaxi's Cusco 26L Backpack. Available in four colors, the Cusco is currently 33% off here.

Featuring an internal laptop sleeve that fits up to a 15-in laptop, the Cusco is a perfect option to carry all your gear on a short trip, or act as a daybag on longer excursions. 

I'm partial to the Beech Canopy color (seen here) for it's understated look and suede leather accessories. Rugged and water resistant, the Cusco also has two side slots for water bottles. 

Looking for something a bit smaller, Cotopaxi's Kilimanjaro 20L is also on sale for 37% off. 

I've long been a fan of Matti Haapoja's brand Travel Feels. Some of his videos are the reason I created this site and his content is still a huge inspiration for everything I do. For the last several months, Matti has been more homebound in Toronto due to the birth of his child (congratulations!) but now he's heading out on the road again and sharing his travel gear for his trip to Norway. 

This simple setup (well, if you don't include the drone) has all the basics that you'll need for travel photography and videography. And speaking of drones, I've never been a huge fan but in a place like Norway or Iceland, it'd be almost criminal to not get some aerial footage of all that natural beauty. Just don't overdo it and leave the pesky humans out of it.

The more I see of Sony's A7 series, the more I wish I'd started shooting mirrorless. The depth of color that the Sony A7S II gets in these shots from the northern section of Bangladesh is absolutely beautiful. The compact body makes it ideal for travel filming and the internal 4K and S-Log picture profile give you full control over your final product. This short piece was filmed by Vitùc using Sony's 16-35mm f4 and 35 mm f2.8 lenses resulting in some beautiful wide shots among the Bangladeshi people.

Seeing Everyday Life

One of the things that drew me to this film was not just the technical aspects, but it's focus on everyday life. Vitúc places himself in the normal lives of the Bangladeshi people as he treks across the small country located to the east of India. This focus on the average really informs the normal, mundane lives of the people. You see them traveling on trains, getting ready for the day and even in school. Sometimes the normal is more fascinating because it's rarely ever shown. We become transfixed with the weird or fleeting when the normal is just as beautiful.

Sony A7S II

For more examples of just how beautiful footage from the Sony A7S II can be, check out this short film shot in California/Yosemite and this one from Stockholm, Sweden.
