[@sarahmckenzie3929]

Ever since my phone died and had to depend on the kindness of strangers to guide me to my hotel to charge my phone, I will never, ever, travel without a powerbank again 🤣 It's a huge comfort having it on my person.

[@mattofstie9298]

At least strangers are generally pretty helpful and understanding about these things. But I agree, I'll never travel without a power bank either!

[@heynadine]

It’s such a convenient thing , and not that large to pack

[@katfran492]

Spare cables as well.

[@shannahhaskell8093]

Definitely! I have a power bank with cords attached, then I don’t have to remember a cord.🤓

[@eternalyooa]

Can confirm that, my checked luggage didn't get lost but once the plane arrived too late to catch my late-evening connecting flight, thankfully the airline provided us with a hotel, but the checked luggage stayed at the airport till the next morning! I packed a change of clothes and basic hygiene items in my carry-on and it was a life saver! Some people didn't get to change underwear or even brush their teeth since they had nothing on them so I really thanked my past self for preparing just in case!

[@Ranger7Studios]

I still go paper even when I have it on my phone as well. Remember kids, Technology is great until it isn't.

[@karenlivengood4027]

I’m so glad to hear you talk about printing off essential documents. It’s so much easier as you said to hand whoever a sheet of paper and if they need to keep it so be it. Good job If your on a cruise it’s the best tip to have a print out of what you have paid for .

[@demodemi32]

I love bringing the neck pillow and using it on my lap to have a comfy rest for my arms so I don’t take up much for the arm rests! Super helpful for middle seat or if you are tall w/ long arms!!

[@thecaffineman]

Audio is absolutly on point! Whatever your mic you're using it sounds super clean and very low noise! Video is also very useful

[@heynadine]

Thanks! @mattofstie hard work being appreciated

[@brendakrause5639]

Take a blowup neck pillow and blow up small retangular pillow for my lower back. They fold and fit into small cosmetic bag.

[@heatherframpton9693]

I have missed watching your videos, Nadine! Thanks for this video content. Efficient packing videos are some of my favorites! 😁❤️

[@jennyjames808]

This is by far the best carry on video I’ve found yet! Thank you 😊

[@MB-qx9vn]

It’s true! Get you some noise-cancelling headphones. Really! It’s a night and day difference flying or really for any noisy environment. Crying baby? Headphones. Seatmate won’t shut up. Headphones. Couldn’t pass on the dirt cheap seats right next to the engines? Headphones. Invest now. I can’t believe I waited so long. I got some Bose QuietComfort IIs and love them.

[@SherylHastings]

Thank you for this great video. I travel a lot alone. I took something from it that I never thought of. I'm always digging through my purse or carry-on for this or that. My next trip I'm definitely taking a little bag to put only airport neccesities inside. I can even stash it in my dog's carrier if I take her. She's about the size of a mini bag too.

[@AngeloG07]

Thanks for the vid. It's always good to hear more and different tips and info for travel. Nice job !

[@heynadine]

You are welcome! More tips are always great :)

[@hoami8436]

Thank you so much for the good tips 😊

[@ayeshaumar5325]

Wow!! I started watching to gather more tips on efficient packing! I’m very impressed to note that each n every item is a part of my carry on too!🤩 I include some chocolates or snacks too!

[@walkietalkietraveller2932]

hahaha... definitely don't want to forget the chocolates :) happy travels, Walkie Talkie Traveller.

[@micheledoblitz7798]

Very helpful vid, thanks! I haven’t traveled by air, post covid, and will be soon. Always helpful to have a refresher.

[@susancarmona36]

Loved the video and the glasses!❤

[@TheCityandBeyond]

We definitely do printouts of items we may need and not sure if we will have reliable cell service. A lot of your item list is much like what we'd suggest. Especially having toiletries in the carry on or personal bag.

[@sailorbrite]

I’ve found for things like concert tickets and stuff, I like to take a screenshot of it so I don’t have to worry about connecting to the wifi. But paper copies are still a good idea too!

[@Tim_Raths]

I really missed these kind of videos. 👍

[@mayamartinez8342]

Great video! I will definitely send this when traveling with first timers. Thanks!

[@heynadine]

Yes! Please do :)

[@lmh8642]

love that passport case!

[@shannonflavin]

these are the type of videos i miss from you!! hope youre all well 💞

[@heynadine]

Glad you enjoyed it :) what other kinds would you like ?

[@don-dspid2404]

A good list. Totally agree on paper copies of everything. I always write my credit card info down coded so I at least have it if I need to call it in as lost or stolen. Sunglasses are always my problem. Leave them in the car too often, especially late flights. Hate wasting time having to buy sunglasses. Also earphones. Always love having to pay two times the price in an airport.

[@heynadine]

Indeed! Airport prices are rip offs! I also had my friends sunglasses stolen in her checked luggage before! So I always do carry on with them!

[@travellermadhurima1983]

To avoid any luggage related issues, I always have some sort of personal tags like a baggage tag or keychain or even a wrist band or a badge/s

[@kaytlinjustis5643]

Been using a silver ribbon for years! ^^

[@iluvmooz]

Yes! Highly recommend these tips. My husband and I recently traveled to London/Ireland from the US and lost both of our checked bags. We were lucky that the airline was able to find them but we did not receive our luggage until our very last day upon returning back home. We were also fortunate that the hotels that we stayed in gave us toothbrush/toothpaste/shaving kits, etc. but we had to buy a whole new wardrobe for our 9 day trip! Amazon is a bit different overseas so don't expect same day delivery or even finding the same brands you typically get in the US. Now, we always stuff our carry-on bags with all essentials and anything that we don't mind to part with, will go in our checked luggage.

[@AssateagueIsland]

Very nice to know the essentials for that.

[@PeachyMushroom]

Your passport case is flipping amazing! I need one ASAP!

[@0426ds]

Hi. I like the case too. Can you provide information on it?

[@katbarr3893]

Right from the get go, I agree have it on paper. Don't depend on your phone!

[@travellingemily]

Thank you for this video! Loved it! Very informative. Could you do a video on what things you pack in your checked luggage for a hot destination? I'm off to the Carribean very soon! Xx😊

[@heynadine]

Mmm a good video idea! I have a spring packing video but this would be a good future video idea

[@heavenbound45]

Great info thanks.

[@heynadine]

You are welcome!

[@occipiccoart]

It's funny because I bought some traveling essentials for my trip to the Dominican Republic next month. I'm so excited to travel abroad again 😀

[@heynadine]

Very exciting!!

[@Nadiaandherchildren]

Awesome info

[@olirisramos3899]

Thanks. Love this list. Would have been super helpful if you had links to your faves like the nice bag in your thumbnail. 👜 ❤️ Can you do a baby travel list?

[@heynadine]

Stay tuned for my next video !

[@cymbo12]

Great list! Could have used Sunglasses in my recent trip-they mandated that the window shade stay open and it happened to be FULL sun.

[@annchee1329]

I do agree having paper form, besides the digital world! It’s proof!

[@marcellef8302]

Hi, I would also add a packet of sanitizing wipes ✅️

[@Sumonebody]

To keep liquids small for hand luggage only, carry bar soap instead of shower gel (it's not a liquid), keep travel size bottles to decant into (they're so expensive but reuse the bottles), and put creams/medicines into tiny bottles so you're carry just enough for the trip. I also use a travel bag which fits exactly the max hand luggage requirements so I don't lose any space!

[@heynadine]

Great tips!!

[@d.6593]

Oh you still have 100 ml maximum? It's here canceled couple years ago. It's so much easier, just like in the past. (In the Netherlands)

[@Sumonebody]

@@d.6593 If you try to return to the the Netherlands the rule still applies to you...

[@d.6593]

@@Sumonebody depends from where.. In europe I never have problems. I even bring 500 ml water in a bottle

[@Sumonebody]

@@d.6593 why do I care?

[@mattofstie9298]

A water bottle is my favourite one 👍

[@carmenduncan8158]

Love your video. Lots of useful information, especially the paperwork section. Can you send me the name of your organizer. Thanks.

[@jackiebedward2249]

Very good ideas. Where did you purchase your passport case?

[@thecozycottage111]

Thank you! This is very helpful! I am going to go to Florida soon, and I've never been! Do you have any tips?

[@marybaker8582]

I carry a printed copy of everything, as well as an electronic copy on my key ring. I also email a copy to a friend..just in case

[@youtuberopanfin3960]

Very nice video

[@heythave]

Nitecore has the lightest power banks.

[@betzy7514]

You can put ice in your water bottle and drink off any melt while you are in line at security.

[@Pexzee]

it's safer to plug a powerbank than a phone to random USB chargers.

[@mattofstie9298]

Yes this is a very good point

[@heynadine]

Yes! Another good point!

[@mikeleone1347]

You can buy an adapter that you can use on your cables on public USB ports, such as in airports or on planes. It deleted the data pin, so all that will happen is your phone charges. No chance of days getting lost by a hacked public USB port. Very cheap.

[@kittylynndale5264]

When I being my vitamins and supplements, if I have the extra space in my bag on the way to my destination, I like to bring the bottles with me with the exact number of pills I need (I save one bottle of each I use for this purpose). Then, since I finish the bottle while I’m at my destination, I pop the now empty bottle into a recycling bin (if available), and then I have a small empty space and my bag is a little lighter for my return trip. Note- I only do this for short and domestic trips, and never with my prescription medication.

[@nuvoclassic]

TFS - can't you wear the NC headphones around your neck instead of packing to save space?

[@heynadine]

Yes, but if you have 2 x 10 hour flights, that’s a lot of headphone wearing. Just personal preference

[@estiefranks6468]

Hi. Where did you get the passport wallet? Looks perfect for what I need. Thanks in advance for the info.

[@mattofstie9298]

The exact one Nadine has doesn't seem to be available anymore. We just got it from Amazon by searching for a passport holder that had lots of pockets inside and would fit nicely in our backpack. I have the same one, but in grey.

[@Ninten70]

The part where you say about who's taking who's belonging by mistake is real bad cause you got a lot valuable items you can't live without.

[@heynadine]

Indeed! It happens, it happened to me !

[@miyoungmoon46]

why do u say no personal info in checked luggage? i thought u should have contact info on there, u didnt rly elaborate either

[@heynadine]

Two reasons: if your bag is lost, someone , whoever eventually gets that bag can and will go through it, now they know stuff about you. Personal stuff. This is just a preference thing, but I don’t want some random person to know that. Second: scammers and thieves look at person info on bags as an indicator that you are away from your house and can break in when you are away. This is why you shouldn’t put your address on your luggage tag, email or phone is better. And yes this does happen, more frequently than you’d think because baggage most of the time, is in an uncontrolled area of the airport that anyone could walk up to.

[@toykoclouds8837]

Ridiculous response.

[@bigeneingers]

One thing I have noticed in watching hundreds of KZbin videos is that the speaker will ALWAYS SPEAK WITH THEIR HANDS. That is so annoying. A few hand gestures, yes, is acceptable. But when you’re constantly waving your hands in the air, when your finger pointing all over the place, it distracts from your message. I think KZbinrs take a course on how to speak on KZbin and someone has told them that they must have violent hand gestures to be credible. Eehh (buzzer sound), wrong. Just speak plainly and calmly. Your message will carry further than arm waving, finger pointing, or violent body movements. Or you can add checklists if you need to fill that empty video space.
