The views on this one are HUGE! I also love to check out a creators most popular video and this is…holy wow! Getting some attention. I love it. Your home is beautiful and so is your kitty cat. I’m not a traveler so I can really appreciate these tips I wouldn’t be thinking about it a lot of these tips. Wow, how cool about the lanyard is a sign for special accommodation. Now I’ll know too if I see someone wearing one. And the iPod leach thing is so rad. Great video.❤❤

Hi Lisa, so very nice to meet you. Often when I find someone new I love to see their first video. I see you re-uploaded to HD. My first several videos are fuzzy. I didn’t even realize it for the longest time! Now I upload at a 4K. I have not been on a cruise for over 20 years, watching this video makes me want to book another. I bet the ships have come a long way. We have the nearby harbor that has Mexico cruises. I think for this first video you did amazing. Super informative and well done. Your b rolls were perfect too.

I wished I could expres earlier what I wanted on holiday. I have selective mutism.. and severe alexithymia. So I just followed the flock (family) and was always stressed out in some way or another. Because I didn't know what to do or where to go! But intrinsically knew it wasnt for me. So when I moved out I went on hiking trip in a group. Not a good fit, don't like groups, but better than a beach holiday.. now I travel by bike alone in a neurodivergent way.. and learning every year/trip. It doesn't matter where ever you travel, you will always take yourself with you. Traveling is not an escape but a testiment of how well you survive and adapt. (For me!) It is trial and error but if you really want to there is a way to get there. Just take small steps.. and analyse to see what you can learn for a next time. If you think you are not yet able to travel you can practice at home or in your own country. Taking a bus, train or overnight at a friend's house. It doent need to across the border. (This is more for europeans)

I really appreciate you sharing your story! Your insights are incredibly valuable for those who might feel the same way. That's really cool you found a way to travel that works best for you. Is this a motor bike or bicycle? Following the 'flock' makes sense when when younger because you don't have the language or even the concept that you should do ask for something different (at least that was my experience, and when I did it was often a NO anyway)

Hi as a woman with Audhd And who loves travel I think you have your own USP which is why I subscribed. I enjoy your videos as I feel your speaking my language and also giving practical advice based on experience. I have some ideas for topics. 1. I have a teen who is Audhd. What advice would you give your younger self about travel? 2. How being Neurodivergent might vary your experience in different countries. 3. I love the advice about packing but travel sets me off overthinking. What to plan and when to stop overthinking. Many Thanks for the thoughtful content x

How do you handle the change of being in a new surrounding? I know for some neurodivergent people this can be very tricky. The reason why I love camping because I can take my house or space with me. How long does it take you to get or find gour bearings? For me getting my bearings or orientation during traveling days is hardest part. Not knowing where I am.. or if I am heading in the right direction.. or think I am going in the right direction but going to other directions.. i can't read or translate maps and even google maps.. can be confusing.

I am not an expert on youtube marketing but this is what would help me. 🥰 It could be helpful to follow a basic script or rhythm that you can implement wherever you are. Point out the things that you see, hear or are different. It will make your and our brain aware of those things. It could help. Tell us what you are trying or figuring out and we can give feedback. You could also don't face the camera but show the surroundings and talk or add text.. Finally. Don't worry about what other's think, your audience is a niche. I am not watching every video because it is hard for to translate your world to mine but I promise I will watch some of them and even comment.

My ADHD *loves* new surroundings. The idea of vanlife does appeal to me because then my surroundings change, but living set up is the same, but I am not a confident driver and haven't driven in years. Hopefully this can change. I guess I like cruises for the same reason. However I'm mostly housesitting today in exchange for free accommodation. I love that I have lots of space (usually) thought it's hard learning where the forks are AGAIN :) I usually feel settled by day 2-3 but I also have lots of practice!

Shoes - I always travel (fly) wearing my heaviest/bulkiest footwear to save room in my case/bag. So that’s trainers or walking shoes. When I get to the airport I just unlace them, tuck the laces in and wear them as ‘slip ons’ just to get through security. However, I appreciate that to those with sensory issues that may not be comfortable?

I have ADHD too and this is the most relatable travel organization video I've ever come across. I keep my toiletries and cosmetics in clear zip cases for the entire duration of my travel because that's the most organized I'll be... I personally use Eagle Creek Isolate Clean/Dirty packing cubes (I bought mine from Rohan) and I love them because they have separate sides for clean and dirty. It helps with keeping all my clothes in one place, plus the added bonus of using them to cushion anything I don't want bending. About the pill case, since you're based in the UK, Muji sells the PP 7-day pillcase where each "day" can be taken off as needed. You may find that useful!
@BetterNeurodivergentTravel 29 күн бұрын
That's an interesting idea to have dirty and clean sides for packing cubes. or maybe just even a separate packing cube. One drawback of my tote bag approach is that the dirty clothes don't necessarily stay put.... Also thank you! Glad to be relatable!

Loved your vlog. My fave toiletries bag is one i got in a pack of 3 from Boots. See through works for me and cheap. So what i do is have one for shower, one for skincare etc and one hair products. My makeup is leather and see through panels. It has taken me over 30 years of wasting money to find that out. When I have packed the liquids I wrap then in an old dry cleaning bag in case of leakage. So far so good. In my carry on liquids i use small muji travel containers which I have had for many years. Actually i share them with my daughter too. I loved your light idea, very helpful xx

I do all the same things you do, but here some additional tips: - lightly shaded sunglasses, the light on planes is too bright at times - sleeping mask - own pillow for night flights Also regarding the backpack: I have tried many solutions for hand luggage, but my favourite by far is a backpack trolley, that I can keep on my back when I need my hands free, or have to run, but can roll it most of the time.
