Talked to a guy at a hostel in Medellin last week who made me question my whole setup
He said he's been working from a hammock on a beach in Colombia for 6 months, making $4k a month with just a cheap tablet and a mobile hotspot. Made me wonder if I'm just loading myself down with gear for no reason.

That guy you met in Medellin sounds like he figured out something most of us keep overcomplicating. I used to think you needed a solid laptop, a power bank, and at least two backup devices to make decent money remote, but seeing people pull $4k a month from a hammock on a tablet changed my mind completely. It made me realize how much of my gear is just comfort stuff I convinced myself was necessary. Now I'm looking at my backpack and wondering what I could dump before my next trip. What kind of work is he doing with just a tablet?

Takes all that fear of not having enough and just throws it out the window.
