I started watching her when I was 17. I started my first solo trip at 17. I was nervous as a ( young solo female traveller) she gave me the confidence I needed, I've been traveling now for 3 years. I wouldn't have it any other way. I appreciate it so much!

[@Pexzee]

One hack I've learned is to have a small keyring light in every bag just hanging on the zipper. Toiletry bag especially is something you might want to go through without putting on lights or if there just isn't any light

[@KRodCollective]

Love this tip! Such a great one!

[@mirrormimi]

Toothpaste hack: Ask you dentist for travel-sized toothpastes. We get SO MANY for free from different brands. Whenever my sister or her friends go on travels, I force them to take some just to free up space.

[@daniellenewcomb2458]

You can also refill travel size tooth paste bottles!

[@KRodCollective]

WOW! Such a great hack! I'm gonna use that! haha

[@michaelaangel9221]

@@daniellenewcomb2458 Nice hack, thank you 😍

[@Frodillicus1]

As much as I like mini toothpastes because they're really cute, a full size toothpaste is still under the 100ml limit.

[@KRodCollective]

I love that toiletry bag. Ooohh, I've never seen the bottles with the adjustable labels, very cool!

[@MyLifeAsLouis]

I remembered you had a similar tip about the toiletry bag that had a hook on it a few years ago. I followed your advice and it helped me a lot in my travels since!

[@SenashiaEkanayakeSeni]

Same! I also remember her being obsessed with hair care and she said something on the lines of not to always compromise on some of your favourites and for me, it has been skincare :)

[@BlaiderB]

One thing i have to pack is contact lens cleaner and case to store them when i take them out at night. But I always include an extra set of contact lenses, just in case something happens to the ones in my eyes. swimming/snorkeling, just popping out from dry eye, a contact tearing, ect, ive learned to pack a spare.

[@StravoZ24]

Blaire Johnson I’ve started buyers daily contacts just for travel.

[@alicesrabbit7126]

Also, contact lens cases are GREAT for holding different products. This is a well-known hack, of course, but it's worth mentioning in case someone reads this and hasn't heard it! I use that shit for extra face creams, eye creams, concealers, foundations, etc., but like Nadine, I like using face oils, acids, and sunscreen, for the most part!

[@7sin7virtue]

One product I absolutely love is Bath&body Works No rinse body wash. It's technically meant for use like after going to the gym where you can't shower but it is AMAZING when traveling. On layovers or after flights I can just pop into the bathroom, spray a little on my hand and pat all the icky places (like armpits or feet) in that need it. No more feeling sweaty gross or sticky. 10/10 would recommend. The only downside is that it is part of their active collection which means I only find it during summer usually. I tend to stock up on it though because it's great to have anytime of the year.

[@kyramioso]

Tide-to-go pen, hydrocortisone cream (in case of any rashes, eczema etc.), after-bite stick, tweezers, hand sanitizer, dental floss, aloe Vera after sun gel! That should do the trick along with some of the things you mentioned (I just do very limited hair products in comparison)👍🏽

[@SherieAnnPeterson]

I include first aid items: hydrocortisone and an antibiotic.

[@isabella.2259]

that's literally the amount of toiletries i bring for a week long vacation :')

[@sigmasonthejeep500]

This is the most relatable comment I have seen today 😂

[@audrey5023]

honestly same

[@AnaRojas-cy9pt]

Man that’s me on the weekends 😫 but I pack for my boyfriend & I, so I think that makes up a lot lol

[@isabella.2259]

@Marley Caiden uhhh for what LMAO

[@ajdamato7308]

Right

[@evy1624]

I pack primarily an oil blend (coconut, jojoba, etc) in a little glass bottle with dropper. Good for detangling and moisturizing curly hair, conditioner, makeup remover, face and body moisturizer, toothpaste substitute in conjunction with essential oils. Little vials of essentials oils like lavender, clove, peppermint et cetera can be helpful for rashes (poison oak), disinfecting, cold prevention/recovery, headaches, stomaches, toothaches, mood lifter, de-odorizer (help endure smelly public places) besides general personal care. A small thing of hydrogen peroxide (disinfects) and cayenne (coagulates blood quickly) for little too. Then an all-natural, all-purpose soap like dr. bronners for body wash and shampoo or washing undergarments; sunscreen, deodorant, makeup, pre/probiotics to boost your immune system is helpful too.

[@curlsonclouds]

I always use my Sephora birthday gifts/rewards for travel too!

[@mhollick63]

I always pack a laundry stain stick because inevitably I will spill food on me.

[@carlacampbell1220]

I could not travel without a stainstick.

[@passportoadventure]

I really need to buy a toiletry bag with a hook! I hate liquids so I always use shampoo/conditioner bars and whatever other toiletries I can find that aren't liquid. The hair products were very useful! Especially the volume powder. And the wrinkle spray! I need to get that! I can't wait to see the Africa vlogs!! The instagram pictures look AMAZING!

[@TMAItalia]

I have the same exact shampoo and conditioner containers and I love them. They work really good because when you wet it they stick against the shower.

[@as0205_]

Watching this during COVID even if I can't travel lmao 😂

[@jazzie2967]

Its for coping jajaja

[@don-dspid2404]

I'm always amazed how much stuff you get in such a small bag. I do want to check out that Downy wrinkle spray. That would be really useful for me.

[@gabriellemills4630]

Just subscribed, I'm a first time traveler going to Bali soon and your videos have been a great help

[@francinejaninesarmiento1797]

Hi Nadine! I like the size of your toiletry pouch, for sure it can fit inside my Nomad Lane Bento bag.

[@LovelieYentl]

Geesssh I'm so bad with picking WHICH products to take.... I'm attached to all 2000073 of mine 😂 Thanks for sharing!!

[@EmilyBrown-eb9nx]

Have you ever considered using the lush solid shampoo and conditioner bars? I swear by them for travelling as I found they last longer than the full size liquid bottles and they are always natural, cruelty free and vegan friendly 😊

[@EmilyBrown-eb9nx]

They also do solid face washes, toothpastes, deodorants etc - very handy for when you only have a carry on and are limited to liquids!

[@crazy4beatles]

I used dry shampoo on my most recent trip and it was life changing. My hair gets greasy pretty easily and I have long hair with no easy access to hair dryers. So being able to spruce up my hair and not wash all of it with the required time to air dry was super helpful. I use less conditioner than shampoo and I have different size bottles (recycled from old hotel bottles) for different lengths of trips. Unlike you I am very specific in my shampoo choice. It's not a fancy brand - but sadly one that was discontinued in the US - sigh, so anytime I'm in the UK I stuff my checked luggage on the trip home.

[@71babyjay]

To save even more space, I use a small face cloth (Norwex) so no face cleanser. Also I switched to powder form of dry shampoo and put it in a small lid jar.

[@bgtsy]

Thx for sharing. Glad your background music was low and yet fun! My tips. This isn’t beauty items but anything merino wool. Can get a lot of days out of it.

[@mrswilliamstoyou3325]

A favorite colored lip gloss, some of the Tide sample packs of laundry dtg that you can find in the minis section, blister bandages just in case your heels or toes get rubbed to death, lol. Feminine wash. Oh, and a mini baby powder for your shoes to keep your feet dry, smelling fresh, and from sticking to the inside of your shoes especially if you wear flats or leather sandals. Soap sheets. Cooling towel. That's just to name a few.

[@taniafilipafernandes6662]

Stayed in Brazil for 3 months with a 400 grams Aleppo soap. Used it as body and face soap, shampoo and washed clothes once or twice with it. But I did bought a really good hair conditioner.

[@live.travel.]

even being a more seasoned traveler it's fun seeing with others pack and if there's other ideas you never thought of before. great vid! I've now bought smaller refillable spray bottles for face toner/body spray/sanitizer that's even smaller than travel sizes you can buy, worth it. I like seeing that you also bring some full size items. I also like to try and travel mostly carry-on if possible and depending on the trip, so you can get a clear 1 quart bag for your liquids which is better than the cheap ones at the airport, but those have their place too. can also bring baby powder as dry shampoo. For any jewelry a small container with a lid. A collapsible cup if you don't want to use your hands after brushing your teeth for water. hairbrush, alarm clock, sea to summit sheet shampoo/hand soap. just in case or if where you're staying runs out because you booked the cheapest place possible. you can also get toothpaste tablets, it's an option.

[@peggydeno7451]

My toiletries are mostly solid (zero waste), organic & biodegradable. I haven't a heavy skin or hair routine, so I don't need to pack that much... but I have the same Dakine toiletry bag in black & green ;)

[@TheTexanTraveler]

Man, I love your channel. Getting ready for my first trip to Europe in 2 weeks. These videos are so helpful. Cheers from Texas!!

[@MaraGrace]

I love the Dr Bronners bar soap. I use it to wash clothes and also as body wash. And if you’re in a pinch you can use it as face wash and as shampoo xD

[@KRodCollective]

Love that stuff too! I carry it on trips! Can't get enough!

[@SupinderKaur]

Informational video, because when i am travelling i don't know what to take with me or what to leave at home😄

[@KRodCollective]

I agree! So great and informative. I've used so many of these for my travels too.

[@TravelGlobalVideos]

Awesome tips. We also throw in some tums and cold medicine just encase. We have found it hard to get some of these items overseas!!

[@Merryyy203]

I only take: Shampoo/gel bar Small conditioner bar (sometimes I don't even bring it with me) Comb/brush Deodorant cream (small glass container) Toothbrush Toothpaste tabs (small glas container) Floss Menstrual cup, period underwear Anything else is not essential anymore, at least for me. I am so glad I do not need more than those basics. If I end up needing anything, I will just get it there. What I do need if showering in hostels or similar is having something to disinfect the shower with, but that I can buy wherever I go.

[@Travelwithchris]

Such a great video as always! Very helpful tips! 🤘🏻

[@tedrahsmothers5565]

Native makes a good travel size deodorant, and it really works at target

[@marilynandvenus]

I always pack makeup and put my accessories also in my bag!

[@joannazawada4059]

You dont need to refill the toothpaste tube. i always put some paste into a small plastic jar - the one they sell next to the travel sized bottles. its easier to reuse and its clean. it won't dry out or something as long as you close it after using.

[@jo-annr.1291]

Yuni Shower sheets , individually wrapped, so worth it !

[@shellyjay8954]

LLBean has awesome toiletries bags.

[@admiringwonderer]

Very Handy tips next time I travel vlog. Thanks Nadine

[@samanthahillburhop581]

If you use the hair spray in a pump bottle, those can be refilled. We get the sample size toothpaste from our dentist and save them for traveling. I use a sensitive toothpaste and my husband uses regular

[@marjiecleveland]

Good packing! I include a stain remover stick, tiny lint roller, and tiny drams of essential oils.

[@mollymccann5043]

Miniature spice jar for the volumizing powder.

[@heynadine]

Omg, genius!

[@rosevilleca38.75]

Flying out of USA the TSA bans lotions, gels, paste and shampoo over 3oz bottles in carry on only. I don't like to check baggage in because it always gets lost!

[@ThePlayMusical]

This is a nice hack! I love it.. now I have ideas and I will surely do my own hacks I hope it will work as well. this is a really nice content :)

[@iiAngelic]

Does any have recommendations for a large yet compact clear toiletry bag?

[@aliciaunaryan4751]

Yeah....enjoy your holiday on my continent & looking forward to the photos. Greetings from South Africa

[@GoogleAccount-hz2co]

You did a good selection but what about a hairbrush or comb or also if you get a headache you should have something for that too

[@robynlawlor4389]

I use a liquid hairspray and not the aerosol can. That way I can refill smaller spray bottles when I travel. I couldn’t stand paying the high cost for the little travel size cans. Dove makes a nice one, but so do other brands.

[@Netta0622]

Great video, i pack mostly the same! One thing i am thinking about is to swap the shampoo for shampoo bar, 1 less liquid in my pack and also a bit more sustainable? What do you think, have you tried any before?

[@lalaishadove2223]

When traveling internationally, do you typically check in bags or use just carry on?

[@sunnyxx5174]

can we have an updated video of this 🙏

[@lovelindseyshylin]

Do you have issues going through security or customs with it not being a clear bag?

I'd actually love to know how you travel with all the recent corona-virus events: does it bother you? because I remember your video years ago, when you said, you never really use handsanitizer but here you show one.

Good luck on Kilimanjaro 😍😍😍😍 it's hard but it's epic 💪🏼💪🏼 love seeing what you pack in your toilettries bag! I deffo need to upgrade to a bag with a hook 😅

Where do you find the protective case for the razor? I use the classic Gillette Venus.

[@0mfgeeze]

You can just use a medium or large binder clip, thats what I use.

[@tiffanyriley3162]

Hi. Great video. Love that you use Coola face sunscreen. It's the best and made here in San Diego. My husband and I are going to Cape Town and Krueger Sabi Sands in Sept on our honeymoon. We are super excited! Your videos have been very helpful. Any othe safari travel tips? TIA

[@adelfohernandez8680]

Question, do they check your tolietries bag and if they do do they check every compartment?

[@nitroforce87]

I'm pretty sure they do check the toiletry bags to make sure people comply with the 3-1-1 rule

[@leahveal5470]

I love that face wash, I have the same one.

[@andreakdrews]

At Home I keep my skincare and such pretty basic but for some reason when we travel I buy all the travel things and assume that I’m going to use 56 products on my face and body daily. 🤣🤦🏼‍♀️ I’m a what if kind of packer. Need to work on that lol

[@aksez2u]

I do the same thing with jewelry! I rarely wear it at home, but for some reason when I travel I have to bring a bunch of necklaces and bracelets. Like I'm going to suddenly be all fancy!

[@AsTheSunRises]

I have enjoyed watching your travel videos for safaris. I believe I specifically came to this video to only look at your hygiene essentials and was sad that you seemed embarrassed to get into that or show it. I do believe that is the biggest concern when someone/women doesn't have access to what they are used to at home on a safari. Really wanted to see how you packed so small for our women's hygiene needs. Thank you for the videos. They have been tremendously helpful!

[@gayemarianesfox2405]

How do you reapply face sunscreen after the typical 90 min it’s good for if you have make up on. This is something I’m super curious with.

As far as deodorant goes what you do is buy one of the cheep travel size ones and clean out that deodorant and cut a chunk of your favorite one and melt it in a bowl in your microwave for a few seconds then pour it in the small deodorant container and let it harden than you have your favorite deodorant in a small conditioner

[@LastStarfighterAJ]

Do you pack this in your checked luggage or in your carry-on? Personally I like to keep my toileteries with me in case my checked bag gets lost, it's just that many airports in Europe seem to need us to put all liquids in a clear plastic bag of limited size and that ruins any notions of having a really nice toileteries bag like this with lots of organisation and features like hooks.

[@heynadine]

You can usually by a clear bag that you put inside your toiletries bag, which is what I do if traveling carry on. Since you only need it for airports, then you can empty it and use the hanging bag for all the rest of the travels

[@faithwithsheldon]

I only pack the day before my trip😖
