I travel a lot/don't have permanent residence, and am spending some time re-analyzing how secure my coins are right now. Price has risen so much!

Owning a hardware wallet has never seemed like the best choice for me - having my backpack/luggage stolen is too risky. Yes, I could write down the keys somewhere as a backup, but that would make the Trezor/etc supurfluous.

So digital wallets seem best. I am recently learning that blockchain.com is less trustworthy than expected? I've been using it for some time with no problems, and I like that it won't let me login without email and 2FA phone confirmation.

It seems clunky to have a full node on my computer - 350gb right now I think? So Armory, Bitcoin core, etc maybe aren't the best bet? Other desktop wallets like Wasabi, Exodus, Electrum might be safer?

What about web wallets like Guardia?

My other question is where/how to safely store recovery phrases. Of course I can get creative regarding this, but if there's any general protocol you guys recommend, I'm all ears!
