DIY – How to Hack $30+ Travel Packing Cubes (2022 UPDATE)

May 31,2024

How to make a cheap alternative to store bought packing cubes by making your own DIY Travel Packing Cubes (and reinforcing them if needed), no sewing required! Plus, see our review and what’s worked best after nearly six years of long-term travel as digital nomads across four continents, 26 countrie.

Our blog documents a journey of continual long-term travel, full-time house sitting, becoming digital nomads, and pursuing financial independence, retire early (FI/RE). It’s full of ideas, tips and solutions. Join us on our journey, as over time we'll share our challenges, our stories, our goals, and our mistakes.

And let's be honest, our website isn't for everyone.

We travel light (less than 15 lbs in a 36 L backpack) and we never check bags. We've been known to do our own laundry for weeks on end and rarely eat out. Between house sits and hotel points you'll rarely find us paying for lodging.

If we can't walk to it we'll take a bus or a train and we only rent a car for epic road trips. There's too many places in the world begging to be explored, so we walk every path and see all there is to see before moving on to a new destination.

We're extreme and analytical. We write what we know and what we've experienced and with a detail that we as readers wish we could find more of.
