My favorite pants for travel (I’m obsessed!): https://bit.ly/PP-MerinoPants
Too much pushing products….
Most if not all full-sized backpacks exceed the personal item limit for many airlines, but not the carry-on limit. To make the most of the hand baggage limit, you'll want a backpack as the carry-on item, and a small sling bag or similar size as your personal item.
Beware the hot water in the plane…not necessarily sanitary.
Cash is king if you want to bargain in countries where income tax is 70%
Just realized after viewing your nice videos, that there are some things I've done before departing for overseas trips, that I would like to share. Here you go:
I always email TO MYSELF, the following PASSWORD PROTECTED documents. This way, if I should lose any essential items like credit cards or passport, I can easily make the appropriate contacts to remedy the loss.
1. A good photo of my Canadian passport photo page. Keep the orig passport in my room safe at destination.
2. A LIST of phone numbers and credit card numbers/passwords, of bank branches at home, emergency contacts, travel health insurance numbers, etc.
3. Electronic tickets, incl plane and train tickets, as well as museum tickets if bought in advance.
Have I missed anything? Oh yeah….don't lose/misplace your phone/tablet overseas! Not much remedy for that!
With this, I am only an email check away from retrieving any essential info in case of a really bad day in Europe!
Happy travels!
Who buys a " travel" leggings for $155"?…….or a plain white T- shirt for $88?…im pretty sure everyone has "travel" clothes a.ready in their closet
Oh good, I can sell all my photo gear. What a fool I was.
I think bringing a separate camera is a personal choice. I always take my Olympus EPL-1 with two four-third lenses with me on tour overseas. They all fit in a day bag that's about 12" x 10". And the pic quality far surpasses any phone cam! Also, easier to lose an iPhone with all your pics on it (although using a Cloud service would mitigate against this). Nice videos, very helpful and good insights/tricks to make longer flights more pleasant and stress-free. Thanks.
Wrong. Always carry cash. In an emergency, giving a local person cash will often get you out of trouble, especially in 3rd world countries.
So how much cash is allowed on the airplane?
Yeah, carrying cash in the US is legal, except when greedy LEO folks want to engage in "taxation without representation". They need the money for their station's "strawberry frozen daiquiri" machines…
I am a photographer so the advice to camera to utterly stupid.
In Canada no foreign fee credit cards are expensive if you rarely travel. If you don't travel often, use cash and get an oyster card. Completely different for other nationalities.
Gotta tell you, I don't agree with all your tips, but you've got some good ones and I like the videos. Short, succinct and to the point. But your over-emphasis on speaking clearly sounds like a robot answering machine. The clarity is great, but need to work on it because it sounds so artificial.
We travel often to the Caribbean, and a good amount of cash is a must.
WITH ALL THESE NEW B.S. AIRLINE RULES, I'M READY TO TAKE A TRAIN.
Cell phone cameras can never substitute even moderate not super sophisticated cameras with separate lenses: the quality of images is incomparable. Plus phone cameras do not take high definition shots in the distance or when shooting moving objects. Real expensive cameras are always worth some extra effort and hassle of bringing them over. And I’m not a professional photographer.
Experience travellers take cash because they know card is not accepted everywhere especially in remote communities
I always carry cash 💰
As far as I am concerned CASH is king, I do use a credit card when I need to, but a lot of places I have visited would only accept cash.
I have really been enjoying your videos. I gasped when you said no snacks, but then relaxed when you said a full meal, lol.
I always carry some cash. But even though I was robbed passing the scan. They took my small purse apart
Propaganda and comsume. Tha oants look the same like in the past
Put your home country's currency in a ziplock bag and put your destination currency in a different bag. You can then dump the bags into your carry-on before going through security and then be able to retrieve them without all the coins disappearing into the bottom of your carry-on. I even put my wristwatch into one of the plastic bags to expedite the security check.
Be smart and do a little research to find out if where you are headed can take credit cards. Some places just don’t, so you need to get cash for your destination.
This is just a ad. for items
Basically don’t take anything
Can’t take a bird at 100 m with a phone
Cash is king
If you don't want to use your mobile phone than a kindle fire tablet or an Android device can be used as a camera and as something to entertain you with games , books and movies .
@portableprofessional Thank you for a chapter-by-chapter listing – with time indication – in the description! Wish all video creators would be as considerate as you!
Some banks do issue cards that you have put money onto during the months before you travel abroad these are travel bank cards with a set budget for the entire duration of the holiday and you can use an ATM if needed without a massive fee . You can also take a small amount of money for when you arrive at your destination as the exchange rate is better if you go to the post office or a exchange centre before you go on holiday .
Experienced travelers ???? what does that mean? travelling with no cash at all, i will call them stupid travellers . . . .
Almost every "tip" is absurd IMO, but what to expect who is obsessed with her merino leggins.
Try going without cash in third world country 😂
FYI Sweden is virtually CASHLESS most shops and restaurants ONLY accept card payment
I always carry cash – in local currency and also in USD, it makes life so much easier at the airport and at your destination instead of relying on plastic.
Liquids, I'm not a fan of toothpaste tablets so I still carry a small tube in my ziplock bag along with hair pomade, shaving cream and face moisturizer which is essential if you fly 130 flights a year as I do. The ziplock bag is in my outer compartment of my carry on and is removed and in the bin within seconds – absolutely zero hassle, once I'm through security, the moisturizer goes in my personal item. I get the appeal and trendiness of solids, but liquids can be just as easy if you do it right.
Clothes, I wear what's comfortable but also presentable – sweatpants and flip-flops are tacky as is – in an airport, even more so.
Snacks, I usually grab a coffee and a bite in the airport, it can get pricey but for me, it's worth it. But I do carry a protein bar or two and some trail mix for the flight itself if I'm flying in the back of the cabin.
Water, I only carry if my flight is longer than 3 hours.
My personal item is a crossbody, just big enough for a paperback book, phone, moisturizer, passport, cash and gum. At 6'3", leg room is vital to me, so the space under the seat in front of me is prime real estate.
In japan, cash is king.
Trusting that cards or Apple/Google/Samsung pay will work is gonna land you up fudge creed without a popsicle stick.
I consider myself experienced and the most important thing I've learned is always have plenty of cash as back up. So many places dont have technology. Next most important thing… a candle!
I disagree with number 1. i go to Europe every year and the exchange rate is worse at airports and when you get to destinations in Europe. i always get Euros from my bank prior to my departure and while most places do take plastic, it is always good to have cash to pay with for avoiding conversion fees or "mistakes" by the retailer (this has happened to me more than once). a lot of places in Europe actually prefer cash, especially for smaller purchases.
