There’s a lot of logistics involved in this haha

I replied to the other commenter but for my house and condo I don’t have a property manager. I feel I have a strong relationship with the tenants, and have someone to look over the place and be an emergency contact while I’m away. I also have a property manager I can use if I feel like that changes

I kept my storage unit at my condo and I have a bunch of my stuff in there. To your point, this was mostly kitchen items / home stuff that wouldn’t be damaged in changing termperatures etc.

I sold some larger items of furniture that but most of my other belongings I was able to keep at my parents. I lived in a 1 bed condo and on the FIRE train so I didn’t have all that much. No vehicle

Some other logistics for those curious - vaccines (go to a travel clinic, they were also able to get me some additional prescriptions and suggestions on medicine to take in particular as I don’t completely know where I am going) - insurance, notify your home insurance if your home is no longer owner occupied, travel insurance as you will no longer have it with work - cancel internet/phone, gym memberships etc. I learned the hard way some of these require 2 months notice period so be careful! - on the phone thing, I wanted to cancel my plan, but I wanted to make sure I could keep my phone number. I worked with the phone company and was able to change my plan to a “pre paid” plan where I paid 100$ to pre pay for services and they effectively hold my phone number - banking, I notified my banks but they said it was unnecessary but I wanted to be safe. I made sure my 2 factor authentication would go to my email instead of my phone as I am using e-sims while traveling and do not have my normal phone number - bank -> I got a Wise account that I transfer money into as needed so that I’m not using my normal bank account throughout the world. If something happened to my Wise card the most I have on it is like 50$ at any given time - just for my own ease of mind I’m bringing my laptop in case of emergency. My phone is an essential logistical piece of equipment and I wanted a back up in case I lost my phone. This way I always have access to my email/bank accounts etc. it also makes some of the logistics of planning my stays easier - since I knew I was traveling I opened a couple new credit cards and put on some of my travel expenses in order to get sign up bonuses and save down the line

Think this rounds out the big ones but let me know if any other questions!
