What do you think is a good folding bike to use? I have looked att Brompton, Dahon and Tern bikes. Found some models made for touring but they are a bit expensive. The one i currently look at is the Dahon Speed D7 that seems to fit me.
I recommend you get a Dahon that has a boss brazed on the frame so you can carry most of your stuff in the front (tweaking a Brompton luggage block is a better option than Dahon's truss), and carry a second, smaller bag on the rear rack (small wheels cause heel strike → must use small bag or somehow keep it away from your feet.)
The Dahon Speed D7 doesn't have that feature.
You might also want to get/add a double chainring to increase the range.
