Anyone travel with kitchen utensils? lol. I know it sounds ridiculous but I stay in each spot for 6 months, get a local apartment and eat as healthy as possible so cooking is important.

What I have been doing is just buying what’s missing each time, usually around $200-300. Blender, spatula, knife sharpener, non aluminum fry pan, food storage containers, 2 large plastic cups for my smoothies (I make 2 days at a time), stuff like that.

But I also make my own desserts, to avoid white processed sugar and feed my addiction, and this gets a little more complicated. Today I bought 2 metal bowls, measuring spoons/cups and I want to buy a food scale and an oven thermostat. 😁

I usually donate the stuff to friends or the apartment owner when I leave.

But lately I have been thinking out might be easier/better to just bring another bag with me like a rolling suitcase and pack a small but complete kitchen so I don’t have to buy every time. I think an extra bag was $35 each way.

It’s an enormous amount of time finding all these things in a new place as well, although it helps me figure where to get supplies quickly.

Any other people out there living similar and encountering the same struggle?

    Thanks for the info!

    I tend to not use AirBNB. It’s always more expensive and in the places I travel, it seems to cater to people who are not price conscious over the short term. Although often I can negotiate for longer term, many properties are already rented on the big holidays for extremely high prices and therefor cannot go 6 months without gaps.

    I will usually stay at a hostel for the first 2 weeks while I walk the streets and meet people to find a locally priced apartment. I never know what I’m gonna get and if the difference is only a poorly equipped kitchen to save hundreds (and sometimes thousands) of dollars a month, it makes sense to me.
