I enjoy your videos. We recently purchased a “trunk” bag, no external zippers and two combination locks built int. What we did is make each lock on the luggage a different combination. That way if the bad guys got one lock correct they wouldn’t automatically have the second code too.

I think this is a really good video with some very important tips to prevent getting ripped off

Take....not bring.

I saw a video once that siggested.taking a sari or two, they are thin, lightweight, and can be used in many ways. Use one as a towel, as a wrap on a slightly cool evening, as a swimsuit cover up, I even watched videos on folding and tying them into a purse, and a vest! I have used the purse, vest and even as a kind of dress... So a sari is very versatile!

some airlines are now telling us that a fanny pack (even as a waist pack) and pillows/neck pillows are a separate personal item!!

Why did my birthday appear on this video😂

They can also act as candles and can burn for 30 minutes!

what the fuck are you talking about?

Pack for the weather at your destination. Many of my packing mistakes have arisen from not really understanding the climate where I was going. I thought May in Italy would be like spring in Canada. It was sweltering. I thought Vegas in November would be warm because it's in the south. They had snow for the first time in years when we toured the Grand Canyon. So check it out well in advance, and in the few days before you leave. Also a lot of places we've been do not have hair dryers so that's something to think about.

Not sure why I got this. Old news and not relevant to me, a Scot. But did want to know about ETIAS for travelling to Europe.

I've had my inflatable neck pillow for 26 years and it takes up no more space in my allowed personal item than a single sock. I also carry a Magic Bag which I can heat or freeze to soothe aches and pains on my journey in the personal item bag as no one weighs that. Once through security I put it into my carry-on suitcase. The key is to pack fewer clothes and less bulky ones. Going hardcore I take one bottom in addition to the one I wear. At most two if a skirt is necessary. Then eight tops, four of which I wear during the flight (a coat & down vest both with lots of pockets, cotton sweater, and tank top) . Layers are easily removed. Those pockets hold medications, eyeglasses, eye masks, ear plugs, passport & boarding pass along with my phone). That clears space for the rest of the four tops, two bottoms, plus yoga tights which can double as pajamas, more layers or exercise wear, in addition to socks, underwear and a second pair of shoes. I wear my heaviest shoes. This clothing can be styled any way I like depending on the season and activities of my trip: business, casual, sporty or elegant. The key is to choose items that will pair with every other item and are easy to launder. The 2 +8 system I learned online decades ago can take me weeks, even months. Tech and all the chargers takes up most of the weight and space allowed. I pack as much of that in the personal item rather than the suitcase in case I'm forced to check the carry-on. Even though I rarely use them, I never compromise on over the counter medications I might need when the language of my destination is not English. I made that mistake once, and I don't want to be dragging around looking for a drug store and trying to make my needs known when I feel unwell.

The initial quip about neck pillows fails to factor in people like me who wear the neck pillow in coordination with walking instead of burdening my luggage tight allotments

Not much on security, but for peace of mind traveling tip. This works for individual or with family. Split your packed items (clothing, hygiene, snacks) among other bags. This way if one bag is misplaced, lost or delayed you or another will have items to survive a few days. So don’t put all your eggs in one basket as we hear so much.

HEY kislux I have been watching you for years and im so proud of where you have made it! I love you so much! Also thanks for making my day <3

AS IT SHOULD BE - NO CHILD SHOULD BE TRAVELLING WITHOUT A LEGAL PARENT - IF THEY HAVE A CHAPERONE - THEN PROPER DOCUMENTATION PROVES SO! HOW IS THE NOT PROCEDURE IN ANY COUNTRY! YET - WE HAVE THE WEALTHY PEDOPHILES THAT CAN PRODUCE DOCUMENTS TO LET THAT PASS OR OVERRIDE! WILL NOT STOP 3RD WORLD COUNTRIES FALSIFYING THE AGE OF SOMEONE UNDER 18 - IT'S ALREADY BEING DONE - AND THE MINOR GO TO MANY COUNTRIES TO WORK - IN TURN MONEY GOES BACK INTO THE FRAUDSTERS' POCKETS - THESES UNDER 18 THAT LIED WHEN ENTERING CRY WOLF LATER THAT THEY ARE SLAVES AND LOOK FOR ASYLUM - GOOD THING ABOUT IT - THEY ARE RETURNED TO THEIR HOME - THEY DECEPTION DID NOT GET THEM THAT GREEEN CARD!

lol TSA is smoking crack my meds come in 90 day bottles how do I pack these large bottles in a man bag I have air travel due to the bullshit related to Cary on bags

Can you go through the scanner with your passport and boarding pass

you’re literally my comfort person i love you kislux !

Good info. I also like the comments at the end to be cautious and alert and aware but not to be paranoid

The part about getting money abroad does not comport with my experience. After over decades trying most everything out, for Oman you use your credit card at the ATM in a bank that you have checked for fees. The three biggest banks in Oman had the same exchanges rates. ATMs in strange places (e.g. in stores) are more expensive. Airport ATMs are expensive. The most expensive solution is to buy Omani currency from my Sparkasse bank in Germany.

I like that you give practical advice. Excellent tips.

I always take my neck pillow. It helps so much on the drive and then i often use it to sleep on as the hotels pillows are almost always too thick.

My neck pillow is hollow and I stuff/pack it with my clothes for 3 days 😊

Some folks get "packable" neck pillows - just fill them with socks or other clothes.

Very cool about your son!

I cannot find the international phone app you mentioned. Olaf? Do you have a link you can post?

Thanks for the suggestions! E-sim cards sound great, but many phones aren't compatible - I'll have to stick with a physical sim card for now.

Very informative and helpful. Thank you! :)

Awful AI narrator... Could you please take a long trip and never come back.

Not all advises are good. Pack less to avoid extra fees but instead buy what you miss at your location! So, where are the savings? You save a fee in the airport, but spend more at your destination.

Great video & positive as informative 😊

Great video. These are perfect tips. I have always only used carry on, even when going for a whole month.

Also, there is usually a place at the destination where you can do laundry, so you can bring less underwear. Just bring a little laundry detergent in a sandwich bag, to avoid what will probably be a huge price buying it there.

What was the black and gold thing in the thumbnail?

Hair dryer - no. Heating pad? - Yes!! As a senior traveler encountering many different accommodations in my travels - nothing is worse, to me, than getting up in the A.M. with my back aching because of a wacky mattress. We all choose our travel battles based on our own needs. P.S. - I love traveling solo and my sweet hubby somewhat grudgingly puts up with it!!

Merino Wool is great for traveling. Unbound Merino is great for travel.

I went from a very large suitcase down to a carry-on. I documented everything I took with me, if I used it, I crossed it off the list, what ever was not crossed off didn't go with me the next trip.

Excellent tips - all little things that can make your trip easier. Especially know the local customs, and for women, dress accordingly, and some basic pleasantries in the local language, people respond positively to your efforts!

Between 6 and 8 months is best. I flew business class round trip was $3200

super~that's top done,ciao~Travel,🤘

One another thing travellers must remember: your "rights" in your home country do not necessarily apply abroad. Example, freedom of speech. You could get locked up for criticizing the government of the country you are in. Claiming "I am a US Citizen, we have First Ammendment right to freedom of speech" will not help if you are not in the US.

Quite helpful. And an impressive first video for a fresh channel!
