Welcome to The Packable Life
Hey, I’m Noel!
I’m a minimalist traveler, ultralight backpacker, and camper van dweller who believes the right gear and packing list can elevate life on the go. I pack as little as possible and believe that mobility is freedom.
In 2017, I quit my restaurant job to travel to far flung destinations, backpack scenic trails, and cruise around in my camper van. A year later, I started this blog to share my experiences with the world.
Here you’ll find trip guides, gear recommendations, tips and advice, and useful resources. My goal is to help you pack lighter, explore more, and maximize your time on the road and in the backcountry.
