For The Digital Adventurer: Slicks Travel Pack

In today’s world, it’s not uncommon to come across global travelers remotely working their way across unique landscapes via coffee shops and video conferences, or businessmen-turned-adventurers milking their latest work trip for some extra adrenaline. No matter what kind of nomad you are though, staying connected and organized is a priority. With checked bag fees on a never ending climb, being able to simplify your luggage and packing list is important, and that’s where the Slicks Travel Pack comes in. Featuring organization for everything from your daily bike commute to extended adventure travel, this mighty little pack eliminates the need for carrying extra luggage when you’re traveliong off the beaten path.

The main body of the pack is built to act as a pack, sling bag, or briefcase depending on how you stow the shoulder straps. When deployed, the comfortable harness is as at home tackling beaches and trails as it is an urban environment. Additionally, it will accommodate a fifteen inch laptop securely for travel. Multiple organization compartments keep a spare pair of shoes (or other bulky items) and high value electronics stowed securely. Reflective hits and an included rain cover make this more than just a drab commuter bag though. Combined with the comfortable back panel and smooth body, these features make it an ideal tool for everything from cross continent hauls to weekend getaways.

Where the Slicks Travel Pack really shines though is in the removable organizers. With both a suit bag and mobile wardrobe organizers, you can fit much more than simply a day’s worth of office gear. Fully expanded, the pack easily swallows your favorite suit for that job interview or big presentation, but also everything you’ll need for some after hours adventures – all without the worry of wrinkles or mixing up dirty laundry with your clean dress shirt. Sure there are other bags that can handle this, but at twenty-five liters, the Slicks pack packs much more into a compact – and stylish – package than that ancient rolling bag you deal with now. Their Kickstarter is fully funded (and only has a couple days left!) so make sure you get one ordered soon, or you’ll be stuck waiting through the best summer and fall travel without one.

The movie is a brilliant look at the roads not taken.
The cast of Past Lives

Few directors have a debut feature that's as splashy as Celine Song's. The director, who now has Materialists in theaters, had a breakout hit at Sundance called Past Lives that took her all the way to the Oscars. Now that Materialists is in theaters and doing quite well, you might want to catch up with Past Lives, which was one of the best movies of 2023.

The film stars Greta Lee and is told in episodes that span more than 20 years. It starts in South Korea, and follows two Korean children who are clearly close friends and may even have a romantic spark as one of them prepares to move to Canada. Then, we follow their story over decades as they come into and out of each other's lives until they're both in their mid-30s and they reunite for a day in New York City.
