De Mochilas [EN]

Everything starts with what you pack

In this episode of DeMochilas, I talk about something simple that ends up defining the entire journey: the backpack. Before arriving in China, before understanding the language or the rhythm of the country, everything depended on what I decided to carry with me.

This chapter is not a packing list, but a reflection on priorities. What do you really need when you don’t know what’s coming next? What stays, what gets left behind, and how those choices affect the way you move, adapt and react once the trip begins.

The backpack became a constant companion through uncertainty, long walks, crowded cities and unexpected situations. This episode is about preparation in a more personal sense — understanding that what you carry, physically and mentally, shapes how you experience a place like China.
