Ep. 120 Travelling with Carry-On Only with Jocey Newman

  • Summary

  • Travelling with kids doesn’t have to require packing the whole house. Jocey Newman and her spouse took off on a year-long adventure with their kid and only carry-on. Let’s learn how!

    Jocey Newman is a mom, adventure traveller, and the founder of First Peak, a line of sustainable adventure wear for babies and toddlers. All her clothes are made in the USA using eco-friendly fabrics that are designed to stand up to mess, moisture, and exploration. She’s currently living on the road with her husband and 2-year-old, testing out First Peak clothes every day.

    Reasons to Pack Carry-On Only:

    • No lost luggage
    • Less to haul
    • Makes travel faster
    • Teaches children value and purposeful consumption
    • Kids are really good at finding anything to play with
    • Allows you and your kids to work on letting go and saying bye to items

    What to Pack:

    • Camping packs as carry-on (using packing cubes)
    • A smaller backpack for day use
    • Stroller (Baby Zen YoYo Stroller)
    • Carseat, if you’re not borrowing
    • Clothes
    • Books
    • iPad

    What to Buy On Travel:

    • Snacks
    • Perishable food
    • Diapers
    • Toiletries

    What to Borrow:

    • Big items
    • Air BnB has a filter, so you can search for homes with cribs, etc.
    • Carseat, even from Facebook Marketplace (car seats are a tricky one, because different places have different regulations, and you don’t know how a car seat has been treated…this one may take some looking into)

    Tips for Travel:

    • Don’t overpack for the “what if’s” or plan for every possible scenario
    • Consider using transit, bikes, rentals
    • For liquids, pack some small ones, but then buy larger there as needed
    • Before arriving, look up park, pharmacy, and grocery store near you
    • Wash clothes in the sink as needed
    • When exhausted, get outside, have snacks, change the scenery, and give kids a chance to lead!

    First Peak [Sustainable Kids’ Clothing]:

    Inspiration for this business came from her son spilling milk on himself while hiking/travelling. She was inspired to create something sustainable, that’s quick to dry, uses safe fabrics, and lasts!
