Most travel blogging gear lists cover the same four items: a mirrorless body, a phone gimbal, an action camera, and a wireless mic. The webcam almost never makes the list, which is strange, because it is the camera you point at your own face more than any other. It will also go live on YouTube without a capture card, a dummy battery, and forty minutes of setup, which is more than the mirrorless body can say.

The Current Model P+ is a 1,750-watt electric pizza oven that hits 850 degrees on a 120-volt household circuit. Every pizza oven a brand sent me before this one ran on gas, pellets, or wood, and every one of them made me work for the pizza. This one plugs into the wall and goes back on a shelf when I am done.

I travel enough that reaching my own network from a hotel room is a normal part of the week - the NAS, the hardware that keeps running whether I am home or not. Every path you build into your network from the outside is a path somebody else can walk too, and any public access point you connect through is a vulnerability waiting to happen. What the right setup looks like depends on what you are protecting and how you travel, but the failure mode is the same for everybody - punching a hole in the firewall and hoping nobody scans it.
