This channel is so underrated, one of the best travel info in my opinion, better than random vloger ... well done!

[@attachetravel]

Wow, thanks!

[@vikramchauhan2634]

I first started watching this channel when they shot the New York series. Love this host. He is just amazing. I wish he could bring us that full extensive New York series again.

I'm not sure why, but I didn't expect Alex to be a gamer! I also recently got the Steam Deck and I've been stunned at how good it's been as an all-around pc gaming replacement / emulation station.

[@attachetravel]

Old school gamer too. I have a collection of old Japanese consoles. I'm that much of a nerd.

[@andrewsheppard8314]

Same here .. and I didn't even think the SteamDeck would be powerful enough to play RD2. New potential sponsor? 🤔 And now, I'm imagining Alex narrate a visit to Valentine. A glass of whiskey at the bar will run you 50 cents! LoL

Attaché just fills this gap in online travel content that nothing else does. Half the content out there seems to be designed for gap year kids and “digital nomads” one-bagging it around the world with two T-shirts and one spare pair of underwear, and the other half is aspirational fantasy garbage about “luxury” travel that makes it look like the pointy end of the plane is better than your average 5 star hotel (Sharing a bathroom with 6 people is certainly nicer than sharing one with 600, but you're still sharing...)

[@martinc.720]

“aspirational fantasy garbage” 🤣 You just made my day lol

[@attachetravel]

Thanks so much! Just trying to keep it real.

[@iaindewar]

I love this kind of video. Huge fan of your videos and layovers podcast. In terms of earplugs, I would highly recommend getting a set of customer earplugs. I ended up getting some for concerts and bought another set for sleeping. I think the brand I have is ACS. A bit of an investment, but I use earplugs every night though.

[@attachetravel]

Thanks so much, Iain, glad you're digging the content. Great tip on the custom earplugs.

[@zmarkan]

Loved it! Your take on gadget reviews is 🔥

[@attachetravel]

Haha thanks Zan!

[@SanTM]

Great video, my accessories are also largely similar. The Bose QC35II are excellent, though mine are starting to feel like they are going to fall apart even with the pads replaced. They've been on a lot of journeys.... I now use the Bose QC in ear ones. The noise cancelling is even better and plane engine noises or train noises are largely forgotten about now. Shame the case is so damn huge. A power bank is a must really, we take so many photos and navigate so much and carrying a charger with you is excessive especially when you want to not carry it around or look for plugs in a Roman bar. I stick it in my back pocket (in the summer and with no coat) if I feel like I'm going be out for a while. Yeah it's big but I'd rather have power than not. I use a similar secrid card holder too. Keeps a few notes in there and all my cards, job done. Need to get a cable case though so great idea. Keep up the great videos mate, any idea where you're going next?

[@attachetravel]

Thanks so much for this reply, really appreciate the tips. The cable bags have been a game changer for me. Different bags for different tasks/projects etc. Means by carry-on doesn't end a rat's nest of cables. As for next travel guides, get those notifications turned on, it's coming soon!

[@itsbellegonzales]

I just made my own packing video. I am obsessed with watching travel packing vids❤

[@sydneyhunte8070]

Great video! One recommendation I have is the Airfly Duo. I usually make sure to pack it whenever I fly so I can use my Bluetooth headphones with the IFE on-board.

[@mark.kaiser]

I've had a Ridge wallet for over 3 years now. I love it, and if I ever wear it out I'll get another one.

[@attachetravel]

A strong endorsement indeed!

[@mark.kaiser]

@@attachetravel Exactly! Even with a lifetime guarantee, I'm willing to double up.

[@chromebomb]

attache is my fav cuz you are quality over quantity

[@attachetravel]

Amen.

[@RidgeWalletYT]

Cool wallet! 🙌

[@attachetravel]

It really is!

[@ProfessorAB]

06:33 a proud gamer indeed

[@attachetravel]

TIL there's a dab emoji

[@jameshaddan8538]

Great video! I’ve been switching between my Bose in-ear noise cancelling buds - which are great, but ancient and still have wires - to the latest generation of AirPod Pros (which are significantly better than the 1st gen). Love the idea of using old amenity kits for cable bags - I have a stack that I cannot seem to part with. I’ve also fallen in love with my tomtoc IPad Pro case - it’s a hard shell and holds my latest generation of iPad Pro with its Magic Keyboard, the Apple Pencil, power brick, cables, Baiter battery pack, and my AirPod Pros - with a decent pocket for spare cables, dongles, and adapters. It stays in the seat pocket while flying and basically has everything I need, so don’t require access to any bag during the flight.

[@attachetravel]

Yeah amenity kits really do work well, especially the more cavernous ones given my the ME3. I need to look into that iPad case - sounds magical!

[@Grovel007]

Any hints on where you are filming next?

[@attachetravel]

Not in this episode but our Patreon backers got a sneak peek of our next travel guide!

[@christophersmith5849]

Love my Bose over ears and in ears NC, work a treat when i try and sleep in cattle class. Need to look at Steam deck

[@attachetravel]

The Steam Deck is a lot of fun, great for long trips.

[@KennethSee]

Steam deck is such a game changer! I no longer dread those long haul flights!

[@tluxe6135]

Useful information. Are you at the most minimal you've ever been with your packing? How do you safeguard your valuables? Is it safer to take them with you out on the streets or leave them in a safe at a hotel? One airline gives small Tumi bags filled with personal items. My BF gives them to me after he travels. I use them for computer accessories when I travel.

[@attachetravel]

Yeah I try to avoid bringing anything I won't actually use on the trip. As for valuables, it really depends on the hotel and the city. But more often than not I believe the odds of me losing something are much higher on the streets so I tend to leave things behind.

[@francinejaninesarmiento1797]

You're very lovely to watch. Though I need to ask What bag do you usually bring for travels? Have you tried using a duffle bag for your travel? I recommend using the Bento Bag from Nomad Lane. I've been using this bag for months now and it is such a hack.

[@attachetravel]

Thanks! I use the Carl Friedrik bag mentioned in this video kzbin.info/www/bejne/p2eknYikisije5Y

[@this_charming_man11]

Just curious? That backpack fits underneath a seat?

[@attachetravel]

Yup! Just did it yesterday.

[@constructinglondon]

Posted the evening before I go to Mexico City 👍🏻

[@attachetravel]

Oh man, I'm so jealous. One of my favourite places on earth.

[@constructinglondon]

@@attachetravel can confirm that the landing card shenanigans has been abolished. They just ask you for a length of stay and just stamp and sign your passport.

[@adamspillane166]

But what about what Greg packs? I'd love to see that. Also, how much attention do you pay to carry-on weight limits, seems like all of that together could be pretty heavy.

[@attachetravel]

Haha I’ll ask him. I never pay attention to weight limits on hand luggage because I don’t fly on the airlines that have crazy weight limits. But having said that, it’s rare that I’d bring my laptop AND iPad AND steam deck.

[@michaelh9312]

To many things... laptop AND ipad? And game consol??? crazy!

[@attachetravel]

As I mentioned in the video, I don't always bring everything with me on every trip.

[@martinc.720]

Why both passports?

[@attachetravel]

Because it makes me look cool, Martin.

[@jaw2112]

That a British Passport?

[@attachetravel]

Yessir.

[@philbuarque]

After you mentioning your wife I figured out that, contrary to the popular belief, you won't pack fudge!

[@attachetravel]

🤨

[@philbuarque]

Just been an asshole troll, buddy. You rock. Happy holidays my man!

[@gamerslogic9370]

you're lame and inconvenient. i love my passport/travel Folio, it's also a great organizer for travel documents, boarding pass and the credit card slots are pretty convenient. SO YA. like the videos though.

[@zander8353]

😣 *PromoSM*.

[@Booogieman]

It was just for ad 🥱

[@martinc.720]

No ads, no revenue; insufficient revenue, no videos.

[@attachetravel]

Nailed it.

[@attachetravel]

I mean...not really. The audience asked for this specific video...so we made it. The ad is clearly and ad (something I believe strongly in) and it takes up far less of the content than TV ad spots do as a percentage of total run time. We have to generate revenue to keep the channel going. The more patreon subscribers we get the less dependent we are on sponsorship integrations. If you have ideas for how we can fund the channel or make ads less bothersome, believe me, I am all ears [e-mail]

[@Booogieman]

@@attachetravel sorry, man. Old cynic

[@attachetravel]

Same, brother, same.
