You don’t have a global entry card?!?

What are you guys talking about? The music is not loud enough.😂😂😂

over 75 on requirement to take off shoes or belt

Am going to have a radioactive body because a recent stress test, have your paper work with you

TMI.

How does unbound merino compares to Icebreaker Merino wool cloth?

Especially loved tip to put valuables in coat pockets. What you didn't address was sequence. I put my shoes, liquids, carryon & personal bag (w/o valuables) on the belt 1st, electronics 2nd, & passport, wallet & boarding pass last (in coat pockets) LAST. That way I'm more likely to be at the other end before they come out to avoid theft. Thank you!

Damn what a waste of 20 minutes.

Great information, well presented. How do you make a living traveling? I used to travel for work, but that was just the getting there part. Do you do other work when you get there? I'm interested in working in Europe but I'm not sure what is available for foreigners like me. I was born in Germany but do not have citizenship there.

I absolutely adore your channel! I’m 52 the kids are grown and it’s time to hit the road! Looking to put down roots in Europe.

Love Unbound Merino. Great shirts and socks. Also like Minus33 and Branwyn for under garments.

The Liquids are easy i just go trial size of what i needed. I don't know why they all say don't wear a belt and shoes they must not heard of pre check. For the last ones is why I get there early so I can watch my stuff as i go through

I stopped carrying Unbound Merino when the pants split. Too much money for poor reliability. Only worn when traveling.

Better than alpaca wool?

This was so helpful. Thank you!

Will never do INTREPID group again. Some very poor accommodations. Too much travel time and not enough destination time. Money grabbing 2nd half....

Aerosol sprays and soaps and shampoos and liquids can all be bought after you land at your destination

15 years ago TSA used to have it very difficult time with CPAP machines Mine always got pulled out of my bag and examined.. a few years ago I guess they wised up and now they don't bother with the CPAP machine anymore

I just saw your video on TSA security. Here are some tips from my experience as 1 million miler. Some airports, like SeaTac, allow you to make actual timed appointments for security lines! Also, if you were older than 75 you don’t have to remove your shoes . And there are special accommodations for people with disabilities at something called “ TSA cares”.

Re mistake #6, are you sure that a jacket (or hoodie) with multiple pockets will be accepted through the scanner if the pockets are full, even with tech (phones, tablets, etc.)? They won't require me to empty those pockets?

Bluetooth mouse pad? 😅

Actually, you should try to steer clear of plastics against your skin. Feet are especially important for this as we have the most pores on our feet. But if you want to keep on wearing plastic and encouraging that entire ecosystem then at least eat a lot of fermented foods so that the lactobacillus can help you break down all the microplastics getting absorbed in your body.

re blanket, I use a micro fibre/fleece towel as both a blanket and pillow (as needed) They come in bright (easier to Not forget) colours, absorbs fluids, easy to clean. Sometimes I put it down first to sit on in those hot vynal seats on some busses or cheap airlines. it practically eats back sweat on long hot rides. I do a lot of tent camping so then it becomes a pillow. The more I use one the more uses I find for it. The kind that feel more like a chamois are best but low budget camp towels work well too.

You need to do something to fix your audio quality get a new microphone or something otherwise your videos are wonderful

Nice clean tips for those who haven’t spent hours with Gflights. One thing is sure, US departures for a flight to Europe are definitely more expensive than the other way around and the airlines 🍆 us big time!! Unfortunately, that’s the US market unless you live near a border or can find a super cheap flight to another neighboring country for a cheaper flight.

The biggest problem with the security line is caused by those who come up to the conveyor belt completely unprepared. Whatever your routine is, just have one that has you thinking ahead. Whatever little thing you can do before hand, do it! Those that just absent mindedly arrive unprepared and slow up the line are a nightmare to the traveling public.

My comment is that in March-April, 2024, my ATM debit cards - for Schwab bank and Navy Federal Credit Union - both got hacked in Vietnam. I was not at all hep to any of the scams and skim machines at the time. When I got back to Thailand, where I live, and found out online about some charges that had been made I was able to get the people at Charles Schwab bank to cancel bogus charges and the debit card and send me a new card. But the credit union phone reps gave me a hard time. They claimed bogus charges could be not be made without someone using my PIN number. So? they were insinuating that I ripped myself off.? I think that some crooks in Vietnam sold the skimmed info to a professional organization that immediately started making charges below my daily limit. Charges were made in two other countries on the same day that I made a WD at an ATM at the airport in Bangkok. On top of that it seemed that my cell phone got scammed or hacked. Malware injected ?? So I could not make my calls to the NFCU at first. I had to - am not sure if I got a new phone then or got that phone cleaned out and re-set - and then I had to use an extra country code to call out of Thailand to the credit union's international number in the U.S. Eventually they did make good on those bogus charges. They did not lose anything since they are insured, right? But my advice is to be careful about using your cell phone for financial matters. Whether it is pure malice or bungled attempts to steal from you by phone it makes life more complicated and dangerous for you.

Desjardins is the experts in screwing you over with fine print and loopholes

Speaking of your audience being only from the U.S. and Canada, (or that's what you assume, lol) I have to say: I'm from Germany. :) However, enjoyed the interview, thank you! :) And btw I've done a lot of solo travels when I was young and yes! it IS different 50+. When my partner and my brother died last year I knew I'd have to do some solo travelling healing. Going to Asia this year solo, hopefully will heal some more. I think healing by travelling deserves a whole video itself if not even more. Subcribed to both of you.

Spent an hour looking at flights, then got a good flight, went in to pay and got popped out...went back to get the same flight and the cost increased considerably.

Except precheck you don't have to to remove your jacket.

I must have weird body chemistry because I’ve found merino wool stinks just as much as cotton so … YMMV 🤷‍♀️

Great information 🙏

I'll be a digital nomad in a few weeks. No matter how much I prepare, I feel like I'm not even close to ready.

Sounds like sheep following sheep😮

I used TripIt on my last very complicated trip and I absolutely love it. So convenient to have all the information in one place instead of having to find a specific email with the details of something. I have recommended it to so many people.

Something to consider when looking at flight prices vs. layover length vs. using airports near rather than at your location is the cost of your time. I value my time at $60/hour and use that as a guide when I'm shopping for bargains. Is it worth it to have a 12-hour layover in Heathrow? Maybe...guided in part by how I value my time. I don't use the concept as a strict rule, but it helps me to decide between, say, a flight that gets me there for $200 more but 'saves' me $400 in time compared to a flight with a layover or a long drive from the airport.

SLOW Down explaining. You were at normal speed when you were selling your clothes but went mega-warp speed when explaining Google flights. Other than that Thank you for the info 👍🏼

Love your video, short and on point

is it true to search in the wee hours or the middle of the night or early morning?

Juice Jacking! 😮 I had no idea. Thanks for that tip

What about using a VPN to search and locate a cheaper fare from a location that isn't as afluent as your location. Say for example, VPN'ing into a location in middle America vs Los Angeles.

The dimensions of this bag FAR exceed most US domestic "personal item" sizes. And most of the ones in Europe.

Safety pins --- for splinters

When buying packing cubes, one of the most important things to look for is the dimensions of the cube that will go best with your luggage and not waste space. I've found that the Peak design ones are the most versatile size to go with all the luggage I have and not have weird extra spaces left over and unused. This includes a large suitcase, a Minaal travel backpack, and a couple Peak Design bags, which these cubes are made to fit with perfectly. With the other brands I looked at online, you usually have to buy a set with a bunch of sizes that you don't need to get the size you want. That just ends up being wasteful, especially when you're trying to pack a suitcase. With the PD ones, you can buy them one at a time. I bought packing cubes a while ago, and for me, the peak design ones are the best by far. Yes, they are more expensive, but totally worth it for the build quality and the features. You'll be less likely to have to replace one later on due to a zipper breaking or something like that. They've got good compression, and the tear away opening feature is far more satisfying than you would think until you use it.

This video is awesome! As someone who travels 10-15 times a year for work and leisure, this is a thorough overview of Google Flights for any beginner. My only constructive feedback is the use of Air India in the example. That airline is terrible no matter what class of seat. 😂I hope no one looks at this and thinks its safe to book with them. 😬 Other than that, great job!

Love your necklace. Do you have a link for it?

just another inauthentic YT clickbait vid with affillinks below...pathetic really...

great video. I'm now following and will start becoming a HOBO

Thank you for the fantasitc information. Is there a way to use Google Flights to check fares using air miles rather than money?
