Long term travel tips

Hi all! Looking for some insight or advice. I'm starting a trip without an end. Will prob last at least ~2 years.

Here's my problem with gold now... Its kind of heavy and cumbersome to log around (; - I live abroad (not in my native country), I have no location/family where I could stash it long term + I don't want to put the burden/responsibility on anyone else to keep it safe.

Any advice?

At the same time, considering everything going on in the world today, I want to convert more of my fiat into "gold". It might be sacrilegious but I was thinking of gold mining stocks. Any tips there, what to look into? Specific stocks?
