Hi everyone!
I'm a freshly minted digital nomad who is also a fan of minimalism and durability.
I plan to travel extensively (and fairly roughly) through Asia and South America in the next couple of years, working a few hours each day from my laptop/chromebook.
A couple of years ago I bought an Osprey Farpoint 40 and I'm pretty pleased with it. It will be my carry and backpack on for the foreseeable future.
Now I'm looking for a small "personal item" sized bag to house my laptop, the cables and mouse, and some treats for the road/my nephew.
Here is what I require of the beast: Durable- able to survive a few years of life on the (cheap) road. Lightweight- no heavy leather or such. Not flashy- I don't want it to scream "wealthy westerner" or attract a Kardashian. Comfortable- a nice strap to secure it to my side while the Farpoint is on my back.
These features I'm more flexible about: Convertible- would be nice if it can turn into a small backpack to take to the cafe or use as a daypack. Waterproof- I have a waterproof laptop sleeve so this doesn't have to be super waterproof. Room for something more- maybe some more chocolates for the road :-)
So far I've seen a few bags that could fit, but I'm much more interested in what you good people think and recommend.
My budget ranges from the Zikee bag that costs 30$ on Amazon to upwards of 200$ ( known as the yikes! option)
Thanks in advance for the help!
