M-BLOG

If you're preparing to head off on a once-in-a-lifetime adventure this summer, there's one question that always crops up:

“What do I do with all my stuff while I’m away?”

Whether you're taking a gap year, going full digital nomad, or backpacking your way around the globe, sorting out your belongings can feel overwhelming - especially if you're based here in beautiful Cornwall, where cosy cottages and shared houses often leave little space for storing your things in your absence.

That’s where we come in. At M-Store Self Storage, based in Roche, near Saint Austell, we help travellers just like you keep their belongings safe, secure, and out of the way while they explore the world, whether for 1 month, or an entire year!

Why Travellers Choose M-Store Before Jetting Off

1. You don’t want to sell or give everything away:
You've worked hard for that surfboard, gaming setup, or vintage record collection - selling it all just to buy it again later doesn't make sense. A storage unit keeps your things protected without the heartbreak.

2. Staying with family before you go?
We get it, parents' garages and spare rooms are already full. A small local unit avoids the squeeze and gives everyone some breathing room.

3. Renting out your place while you’re away?
Whether you’re subletting or listing it on Airbnb, moving your valuables or personal items into storage protects your privacy and keeps your home clutter-free for guests.

Travel Smarter with Storage

Here’s how many of our backpacker customers make the most of self-storage:

• Go compact - You’d be amazed how much fits in our 25–50 sq ft units. Perfect for students, solo travellers or couples heading abroad.
• Label and list - Create a quick inventory or photo log before locking the unit. You’ll thank yourself when it’s time to unpack.
• Seasonal storage - Cornwall life means wetsuits, wellies, hiking boots and winter coats. Leave them with us, you won’t need them in Thailand!
• No pressure on return - Use your unit as a re-entry buffer when you get back. No need to rush into new accommodation or make snap decisions.

Based in Cornwall? You’re Already Winning

At M-Store Self Storage, we’re proud to be based right in the heart of Cornwall and just a short drive from Saint Austell, Newquay, Bodmin and beyond. Our secure, modern and climate controlled units are more affordable and flexible than big-city storage, and we offer short-term, no-hassle contracts that are perfect for travellers. We’ve worked with students, seasonal workers, and adventure-seekers heading off all over the world, so we totally understand the need for flexibility, simplicity, and peace of mind.
