    What’s in my bag? 2025 edition

    Every year I like to share the contents of my backpack. I travel a lot at WordPress VIP, so it often changes to reflect updated products as well as differences in my own thinking.

    So, here I present what I’m carrying around in 2024 (albeit some of these will be dependant on the type of journey I’m making).

    What will be in my bag?

    My “What’s in my bag” posts were inspired, many years ago, by similar posts written by my CEO, Matt Mullenweg.

    What’s in my bag? 2020 edition

    Back in 2017, I revealed, after just a few months working and travelling for Automattic, what I carried with me in my backpack. 4 years on, and many more trips, and that content has changed.

    As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, none of us have done much travelling lately and that may not change for some time. But rather than not post it this year, I thought it was just as important to do so – if nothing else, we all have time to plan and tweak for when we can meet and travel once more.
