[@heynadine]

Are YOU looking to do some travels in the future? Don't fall victim to these rookie mistakes! kzbin.info/www/bejne/m5iyhqucbtGbitE +RachelBallinger

[@DaveO3316]

Doing colab with Rachel says you are in the States, if you come to my area, I would like to be your friend. :)

[@Babyqueeniexoxo]

hi

[@FrancisGurr]

Another money tip: have a fake wallet with monopoly money and expired credit/debit cards (maybe scratch out your name) and put it in an obvious place for where you might keep a wallet and put your real one somewhere more concealed. If something is going to be stolen it'll much more likely be the fake one!

[@FrancisGurr]

Oh and don't have single strapped bags, always have two straps and have both over your shoulder, it is too easy for someone to quickly cut the strap on your bag and take it and run!

[@Trevorious2010]

what tips for someone who's never flown by themselves before? when you step off your plane in another country, how do you keep your cool while you try to find the hotel?

[@iiAngelic]

Trevor Daniels Haha, nobody answered this much needed question. Just ask around.

[@sophiespeaks1359]

As a traveller myself I think that these are some great tips. Wish I new some of these before I started 4/5 years ago!! X

[@heynadine]

Thanks!!! I know right, live and learn :P

[@silverapplepiebyiris]

Watching these travel tips makes me really excited for my trip to Turkey in a few weeks!

[@ThatOneWeirdGal]

Another piece of advice, try to blend in. Don't stand out. Don't wear expensive looking things.

[@havana8124]

This made me feel so so so much better about my working holiday!!!! Thanks Nadine and Rachel!! x

[@lordyrich]

Tip 1: Have rich parents

[@Hadrian77]

best tip ever

[@DamonAndJo]

Finding food is the HARDEST thing for us to do! Damon's a vegetarian, so I always have to follow his a$$ around from restaurant to restaurant.

[@Chiszle]

Sketchy areas? Let's go!

[@Evanandrachel]

Some great and practical tips for first time travelers! Enjoyed it ladies :)

[@DamonAndJo]

Y'all live in Korea? We're trying to plan a trip to Seoul soon!

[@Evanandrachel]

heck yeah! Been living here for 4 years. :)

[@sarahhallam9243]

Your outfit is so cute! Thank you for letting me know what to expect. I cannot wait to start traveling.

[@rozzerallen]

Always try and speak in this tone of voice wherever you go. Honestly, in Europe - it's so nice to come across American tourists.

[@Hakimw21]

I've been subscribed for 2 weeks but I've never watched a second of your vids till now

[@heynadine]

welcome :)

[@Hakimw21]

You already seem nice lol

[@KZWavy]

Wish i could travel as much as you do. Great video Nadine and hope you have a great week! #chillmode

[@DamonAndJo]

You can! We make travel videos for broke twentysomethings! Watch all of HeyNadine's and then come check some of ours too! You'll be a travel master by then!

[@AgnieszkaDomagalska]

Yep. One tip. I live in Toronto for 6 weeks already and never went to Aquarium. Tomorrow I go!

[@amarijones6770]

I'm becoming a travel nurse after summer. My first trip is to Singapore. Thanks for the advice

[@phyliciajoykloes]

I love watching your videos, and it definitely makes me want to travel!

[@HaylieGrace]

Thanks for the tips!!! :) Can't wait to get started with travelling. :)

[@nadadealer4435]

"Hello!" *broken english* "Sorry I don't speak English" "Oh...ok"

[@BattlefieldDoktor]

Envying you so much ... you come across to everywhere :) Don't know when I had my last big trip ... actually I do remember ... March/April 2004 in Australia ... god, 10 years ago ... I need a vacation!

[@kristenmalkemus647]

I just came back from a four day trip from Toronto with my best friend (didn't see the aquarium) and I notice your accent so much more now.

[@HeyShae]

I'm about to take my first big trip out of the country, and I'm going big. Your tips are really helping me! I'mm be going to multiple countries in Europe for a month, and I know the Rookie Mistakes are going to be happening one after the other. I feel it!

[@DamonAndJo]

YOU GO GIRL! This is going to open up your mind so much! Get ready for some adventures!

[@HeyShae]

I'm so excited but I don't think I'll ever be ready for what I'm about to do! :D Wish me luck!

[@xNilly]

I'm going to begin my first (of hopefully many) mini backpack trip with my friend this sunday so this video is very relevant and what I needed right now :D I'm very nervous, but this helped :)

[@LaurenMakai]

Great tips and good reminder ! Ahhh I'm from Toronto ! 😊🍁

[@smalltime0]

Definitely don't book too much. I ended up exhausted half way into a 6 week trip. Luckily (by accident) I had booked a week in Berlin, so got to have a bit of a holiday in the holiday.

[@AwkwardDonkey]

nadine is literally my inspiration (:

[@carolineashworth2988]

Wow! I was so excited when I saw a video of a collab with two of my favourite youtubers! Congrats nadine. Btw, she was talking about the Ripleys aquarium in Toronto, went there last week! (You only haven't been because it just opened a few months ago). Canada misses you!

[@DamonAndJo]

We miss Canada so much!

[@heynadine]

Ahhhh gotcha!!!

[@DarkShadow2362]

Great video as always! I'm going to Paris in 3 days and the tip for packing helped me :)

[@DamonAndJo]

Bon voyage! We lived in Paris for a year and have a soft spot for that city! You're gonna love it!

[@guineapig3421]

OMG! I know Rachel from MirandaSings and so forth. Not a lot of people have seen this. YES GREAT FIND!

[@chioma916]

rachel your fly's open

[@the1wheelervods]

My music teacher did the music in the aquarium in Toronto!!! :D

[@MazDelaCerna]

just found your channel cos i listened to the podcast on snart passive income... love the tips you shared about youtube!

[@kadiewanders]

Love this! I'm heading to Sound America in September and can use all the tips I can get, thanks! :)

[@DamonAndJo]

If you're going to Mexico, Ecuador, Costa Rica, or Panama - we got you covered! We made some travel videos!

[@heynadine]

Your welcome! Where ate you going?!

[@kadiewanders]

Hey Nadine I'm heading to Peru, Bolivia, Chile, Argentina, and Uruguay :D I'm super excited! ../a little bit nervous haha

[@ccubed215]

Kadie Wanders Another packing tip piggybacking off of what Rachel said about rolling your clothes: When I went to Europe for a couple weeks, I rolled all my clothes and then put them in zip lock bags and squeezed all the air out. It's kind of like those space bags that are vacuum sealed. It made so much more room for me in my suitcase!

[@kadiewanders]

ccubed215 That is a fantastic idea!! Thanks :)

[@samsingline6586]

Hey love love your videos ! I am going on my first ever trip overseas in 2 months and was wondering you could tell me good apps or websites for booking hotels, finding things to do /eat and last thing in your packing video I loved your power plug that was all in one for every country do you remember where you got it ??? Thanks !! X

[@mischika9876]

This is so helpful thank u

[@stephanieodetreed6385]

Hi Nadine, I love all your videos, My dream is to be traveling around the world but the money is a problem hahaha, so I have a question for you... What do you do to travel a lot? All your travels did you paid by yourself or what do you do?

[@marietaylor8972]

Love you Nadine your a inspiration! To me someday I wish to be like you!☺❤

[@rebekahgonzalez1103]

If you wear a sweater or jacket have a really tiny purse and wear things tucked inside while in busy areas. Keeps passport and tickets safe and out of sight.

[@Queen-gd9pk]

thnx for the tips

[@OnTheGoWithCarson]

Great tips! :)

[@aurorasimply1884]

I love you for this

[@midatlantic10]

Where & how did you meet Rachel?

[@heynadine]

[@xuggababy]

What camera do suggest for traveling?

[@the0siren0of0night]

I'm saving up for a cycling trip around the UK...saving up for a bike first...then save for accommodation...I just want to pack a rucksack and get some money out and just leave for the week...

[@BellaDiary]

I'm soooo happy that you made this video Nadine!!! you honestly seem like the best person to travel with!! I'm just back from Thailand and I make travels videos too- my whole page is going to be dedicated to TRAVEL!! I'd love if ya took a look

[@OKSooo_TV]

any advice for people who want to travel but are nervous flyers?

[@emily7039]

I have traveled one time in my life and I didn't make any of these mistakes. We got there 2 hours early, we rented our car, we made it to our condo (we rented it) and they signed us in really quick, we didn't overbook our day and we had a really great vacation. Did any of you make those mistakes because those just seem like stupid mistakes to make.

[@gilanin]

+Karen Lingeer That sounds like a pretty nice vacation. Mistakes are easy to make, sometimes people take the wrong bus and realise it too late, thus arriving late at the airport. Things like this can happen when you are not familiar with the transport system and the language. You can't expect to learn a complete new language in just a few days and neither can you expect everyone to know your own language. Keep in mind that vacationing and traveling are not the same depending on each person. Different people travel differently, and that's just because each of us have our own standards on what travelling should be. Renting a car and condo sounds like draining money for some. For example, a rookie mistake for some would be to have spent so much on hotels when there are cheap hostels around. For others would have been to waste so much on hostels when you can couchsurf and have a much more nicer experience instead. Some people are just travelling, they make up their locations as they go, that's why sometimes uncertainty can be seen as a mistake, your host had to back down at the last minute and you did not have any back up, you decide to change your train connection only to find out that you have to pay and extra fee for a portion of the journey, etc. Many things can happen when you are travelling. Other than that I would say vacations are pretty much on the safe side and it's less likely to make mistakes when you know where you are going to stay and the so. Although I've seen that the most common mistake for vacationers is overpacking. Travellers are generally better on that matter, especially backpackers.

[@TheFishtownies]

i want to travel abroad soooo bad! we are saving our $$$ in order to do so

[@DamonAndJo]

We make travel videos for broke people! Should be helpful for you!

[@TheFishtownies]

***** thanks! well, just to clarify, we are not broke, and have decent jobs, but we are trying to pay off all the debt we incurred over the last 7 years. We want to pay off our house and student loans. We have paid off our credit card bills from health issues, our solar system, both cars, my student loans, major home improvements, and a few other smaller things. We have been KICKING BUTT, but we still have about 3-5 years left on the mortgage and another 1-2 years on my wife's student loans. We have just started to save for travel, and we put a few hundred dollars a month into a fund. We want to have no debt so we can go to part time and give our kids (and ourselves) the experience of a lifetime. Sorry if this was TMI, but sometimes i just want to tell our story b/c it is a hard subject to talk about, but i try to be open. I'm gonna check out your vids...thanks again!!

[@DamonAndJo]

It looks like you are managing just fine! Hey, everything happens for a reason!

[@TheFishtownies]

it sure does! thanks! we are doing OK but still a long way to go :) i liked ur skateboarding vid. i'll check out more later

[@margaretmartin3901]

Ripley's Aquarium ftw (Toronto Represent)

[@alexissmith828]

Nadine seems to like be trying to be serious and then there is the ever entertaining Rachel. Not a hater, I LOVE Nadine, but HAHAHA

[@n2bch]

^_^ great advise, covers many things i had to learn by myself. =P

[@lordcoyote2000]

There were many good tips in this video but I would really like to see you expand on the safety portion of this video.

[@heynadine]

I have a WHOLE vide dedicated to this coming in the next few weeks. :)

[@lordcoyote2000]

Thank you, I cant wait to see it!

[@lavayuki]

I travel on my own to cheap places, but to expensive places I bring my parents

[@freckle35]

Ya Toronto! :)) lol

[@TheMonkeyrock77]

I roll my clothes like you showed. Thanks.

[@heynadine]

yay!

[@TheMonkeyrock77]

It sure saves room.

[@smalltime0]

TheMonkeyrock77 It also means they don't wrinkle.

[@sarahbear9744]

I've moved, like, every 3 years in my life and I've got an ungodly amount of clothes. So, the minute I learned to roll my clothes, I had a huge amount of space. By far, the best packing tip ever

[@xeniahoff2491]

And you will miss your flight! Don't feel stupid, happened to all the travelers Ive met so far at least once! Did it already happen to you Nadine?

[@pokepokefanfan]

1 *money chapstock* if you are scare about someone mugging you, you can put bills in an old chapstick tube, you have to cleaning first, i really works, even if you get mugged they are not going to take your chapstick, and you can put a lot of money there if you are using like like 2 $100 bills, there are lots of videos on youtube about it. 2 *"good food"* i heard that at least in the london there is a street where lots of tourist go to, and the "restaurants" like McDonald's suck there cuase only tourist go there and they are not coming back so the make shitty food, the good ones are in places where tourist never eat.

[@susiey5943]

toronto has the weakest aquarium, where did you go? lol

[@douglashuntley21]

Noise coming from the room above you? The worst!

[@Hakimw21]

Btw I'm from toronto and didn't even know we had a "toronto aquarium" lol

[@scoutstrong5263]

OMG rachel

[@TheMonkeyrock77]

I was robbed once in a bathroom in LA. I had hands in every pocket all at the same time. They were going to pull my shoes off but I got away before they did that.

[@chocolatemoose7761]
