Love this! An airline lost my bag for a week. I was going on a Croatian bike riding cruise, had to find biking and swimming gear very quickly and as I am plus size, so was not an easy task......I will never travel again without the most important things in my carry on. Just returned from New Zealand yesterday and used some of your tips on that trip. Thanks from Oz xo
Oh my gosh that must’ve been so frustrating! Especially being out of biking trip! Hope your trip to New Zealand was wonderful and you made some amazing memories. Thank you so much for sharing your story with us.🙏😊❤️
Y
That belt bag as foot rest is sooo smart! I
😊 thank you so much! When you’re short, you’ll do anything to make your flight feel better😊💕
I love my Sand Cloud double size towel on a flight as a blanket, plus it dries so fast and it’s so nice to have a real beach towel on vacation.
I have to go to Soundcloud towels and I love taking it to the beach! 💕😊
This video seems very thorough and I can't think of any thing more to sneak into that bag ! So happy to hear David is doing so well too. What a relief
Thank you so much and I’m glad it gave you some ideas for your next travel adventure🙏😊❤️
Collapsable bottles are wonderful for Italy as there are so many water fountains you can get water as you need then fold it up and put away. No need to carry a heavy full one that’s going to get warm.
Yes! And having that filter means you can get water anywhere😊❤️ Thank you so much for your feedback.😊
I must have done something wrong, because my collapsible bottle was a nightmare. Kept collapsing while I was drinking. Through it out!
@@judyanderson4989 SPECIAL MADE Collapsible on Amazon. Perfect with no issues
This IS a Mary Poppins Long Haul Bag...indeed! Well done.
Thank you! It’s packed pretty full, but I’m always glad I have those few extra things with me on the trip😊❤️
Good morning, 🎉you always have the best travel videos! Your hair, and make up look so beautiful this morning. Just had to let you know that. Also, would love to see a new video about your new make up brushes in your mini toiletry bag!😊
Oh, you are so kind! I have not been sleeping well, so there’s a bit of make up on that face😂 I think I am definitely going to do a video for the make up and possibly even what’s in my other toiletries bag❤️😊
Another great video Eunice, thank you. Having a travel kitchen in a Stasher bag has been a game changer for me (I always had a cook/mess kit in my motel bag, but the Stasher bag is so much more useful.) Here in Canada, our airlines have a virtual monopoly, so our air travel system is way more messed up than yours is in the US. I always pack my personal item assuming that it will be the only thing I have with me at the end of the trip - then if my rolling carry on makes it to my destination at the same time I do, that's a bonus. Packing thin layers, I can fit a few outfits in a large compression cube that fits inside my personal item bag. Compression cubes are brilliant for packing a lot of clothes into a small space - especially now that I have lost enough weight over my lengthy illness to fit back into my Travelsmith thin travel wardrobe. I also tend to wear more layers onto the plane than you do, and carry an empty large compression cube. Once I reach my seat, I quickly fold some extraneous outer layers into a rectangle and put them in the cube, then sit on it. This keeps the extra stuff out of my way and that of other passengers, and provides a nice tush cush. I never check a bag, I travel carry on only, but sometimes they make you gate check your main carry on bag. BTW, you mentioned in one of your videos that you check a bag because you always bring a multi tool. So do I, but I have a lot of them, and some are lower quality because they came with one of my various premade kits, and were replaced with one of my better tools. So what I do is, when flying, I replace my usual Gerber or Leatherman or Victorinox tool with one of the cheapo generic ones I no longer use, and for the trip, I stick it inside my toiletries bag. I would say it makes it through without being questioned about 80% of the time. If it does get confiscated by TSA, it's no big deal, because it's not one of my 'good' tools. It's the same principle as travelling with 'throwaway' paperbacks, that I can just leave behind once I finish them. In cooler weather, I pack silky 'fashion' long undies instead of pajamas - they take up less space in a bag, and can be layered under clothing for extra warmth. I am so glad to hear about David's excellent recovery. I will continue to keep you both in my prayers. Blessings to you and David.
Thank you so much, Jen! I love your feedback and all the details you have😊❤️ when I travel to Asia I do not bring a multitool because they will confiscate it in China and possibly other countries. One time I brought a pair of calipers, and they took them from me.! And believe it or not one of the times they lost my luggage for four days was what I went to Canada! 😉
@@TheoryofSimple I believe that about the luggage, thousands of people experienced lost luggage over the Christmas holidays, mostly on Air Canada. West Jet flies routes to the prairie provinces and BC, but for most of the country, Air Canada has pretty much a total monopoly, and they have little incentive to offer decent service. We all hate that airline with a passion, but for most routes there is no option but to use them.
Very informative and useful...if I'm out and we have several iteneraries for the day I always bring extra tops esp if I'm wearing jeans ...so I can change in the toilet and...have a new look during several photo shoots😃
Yes! Especially if you’re going to be out all day I need to have some thing for dinner. I always like to pack a nice little tank top or shirt that I can change into.! Thank you so much for sharing that💕😊
I don’t know of anyone who can do packing better than you. You are the best!
Thank you so much, Carol! I hope some of these packing hacks hope you have a more pleasurable travel experience on your next adventure😊🙏❤️
In my waterproof shoe bag, I put in sneaker balls if they smell. My carry-on bag has a few different collapsible bags too. I have 2 different locks for my luggage. One is TSA approved (for flights), and one isn't (for hotel rooms). I have a portable vacuum seal set that I use for my extra clothes to minimize space. I have the Goal Zero Switch 10 which is a charger, fan, and flashlight. I also have the Goal Zero Guide 10 which is a solar/wall battery bank, battery charger, and has a flashlight too. I have a portable folding solar panel, usb batteries, etc. I carry the Rovyvon Aurora A7 G4 Keychain flashlight which has a reading light and a flashlight. I also bring my Scrubba wash bag (which can by used as a dry bag too. I just ordered the travel hangers with the chip clips and cup holders. I have a lot of the same things as you do. I guess great minds think alike. As for my sets of clothes I have 2 quick drying zip off pants (they can be converted into shorts), 3 t-shirts, a bathing suit, a pair of board shorts, 3 pairs of underclothes, and a set of pajamas. For entertainment I bring my iPod Touch, wireless noise canceling headphones, my Nook, an external hard drive, activity books, colored pencils, crayon/pencil sharpener, etc. I keep my smartwatch, my wallet, and my phone on me at all times.
Oh my goodness! You’re able to fit all that in a bag that fits under your seat? I also bring a solar battery, but it’s not in my personal carry-on. It is in my overhead luggage. There are a few extra things that I bring that are in my overhead luggage or if I check a bag it’s in that bag as well. It does seem like great minds think alike, and are prepared. I will say going to India. I carry a few more electronic things like you because the power they are so unreliable. I want to thank you so much for sharing all the things you bring. I’m sure there are stories from you that have gotten you to be prepared as much as this as well.🙏❤️😊
I just ordered the fan. I got the green one so I will notice it and not forget it when packing to leave the hotel.
That is a great idea! Everything I own is black, but I think I’m gonna start putting some color so I don’t forget things as well! Thank you so much for watching in supporting my channel and for sharing that with us🙏😊❤️
@@TheoryofSimple I've left behind too many things!
So happy to hear about David! Blessings and positive thoughts!😊
Thank you so much🙏❤️🙏
Bags inside of bags inside of bags. This is why I really like you! I tend to go with more disposable on some of those bags. ...but I thought I was the only traveler who was that "bag crazy". LOL I bring zipper locking freezer bags for individual packing of some things. One thing I will bring with me will be an immersion heater; thanks for that tip. Wiill need a heat resistant bag to keep it in like you've shown. I usually bring instant coffee singles in case I can't get coffee and hope that I can get hot water. So far, have not been without my morning dose of java whenever I've traveled.
Thank you so much and yes because bags are always helpful. I have a lot of them.! if you look at my travel videos for food, then you’ll see I have lots of great ideas for packing snacks and meals for your travels😊❤️
GREAT NEWS about David!! Loved this series. Take care!!
Thank you so much🙏😊❤️
I knew that if I waited you would put it all together ❤
Lol! I wanted to put it all in one video but I’m too verbose😂 would’ve been like over an hour long! Thanks for sticking with me on the series😊❤️🙏
This is one of the best and realistic travel essentials video I have seen. I look forward to looking at your other videos.
Oh my gosh, thank you so much🙏❤️ I try to make my videos as realistic as possible and not just try to push stuff on people. Everything I show you our things that I actually use on my travels. In my motto is if it’s good you gotta share. If it’s bad you got a spare and that’s what I love about this community because many people comment with things that I’ve worked for them or not work for them and it’s helping all of us travel better.😊🙏❤️
Yay for David’s recovery! I just found your channel about a month ago and have been binging all your videos.
Welcome and thank you! Looking forward to your feedback! David says thank you!!!
You think of everything and it’s so wonderful thank you!!! Would love to see updates you mentioned!!❤
Thank you so much and I will do a separate video on toiletries😊❤️🙏
I love your videos! So many great ideas. I love the process of getting ready for a trip so these are really fun
Yes! It’s part of the travel process! ❤️😊
Fantastic tips as always, love your vlogs xx
Thanks so much! 😊
Thank you for sharing this info. Folks with disabilities cannot lift a bag into the overhead need to economize on what they carry and under the seat is the only option.
Judy, thank you so much for bringing that up. I think sometimes we forget that not everybody is able-bodied, and that might be actually a really great video to do. Truly appreciate you giving me that feedback.🙏❤️
Great video! So prepared - you have every situation covered. Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!🙏 thank you 😊❤️
You are a smart packer, I love your videos! So thoughtful!
Thank you! 🙏❤️Glad you like them!😊
So helpful!!! Thanks!
Thank you, Kari! I’m so glad you got some great hacks from this video! 😊🙏❤️
Another fantastic video, Eunice! I too have used that type of bag as my personal bag because it’s more malleable than a backpack.
Yes! It took me a while to think about bringing it because I can’t put it on my back. However, I won’t buy any bag now without a trolley sleeve so that at least the suitcase with the wheels can carry the brunt of the weight.😊❤️ thank you for watching and commenting!
Thanks for sharing this with us!
My pleasure! Thank you for watching and commenting!❤️😊🙏
OMG, I'm so glad I found your channel!! Everything is so useful (& extremely relaxing to watch).🙏❤️😊
Thank you so much! I’m so Haley you found my channel too! Welcome to Theory of Simple! Looking forward to your feedback on my other videos! 🙏❤️😊
I wish I had found you when I lived in the Bay Area- Los Gatos then Pleasanton. I moved to Florida 2 years ago with my son. You seem like such a fun positive person. Watching all your videos.
That is so sweet!🙏❤️😊 Thank you! If you’re ever in the bay area, you’ll have to let me know so we can hook up! I love both Los Gatos and Pleasanton. They both have such a charming downtown areas.🙏❤️😊
You are prepared for anything and still not overpacking!! Thank you for your dedication on doing these videos. I subscribed :)
Thank you so much and welcome to Theory of Simple! 😊 I am so happy you enjoy this video, and I look forward to your feedback on my other videos! 💕🙏

Thank you so much! We actually took our first trip up to the mountain house this weekend and doing a little bit of relaxing. He is feeling much better now that they got his medication fixed.🙏😊❤️
I love the reader comments as well.
Yes! Some of the reader comments offer some really helpful suggestions and great ideas! That’s what I love about this community❤️🙏😊
I would be ready for anything with these items, Eunice. So happy to hear the update on David!! Good to know he is healing. Soon this will all be behind you.
Thank you! 😊❤️ we are very pleased with his progress 😊🙏❤️ thank you for your thoughts and prayers 🙏❤️🙏
Thanks for sharing never heard about immersion water heaters. I bottle a travel kettle, but an immersion water heater seems better. Thanks for sharing!
You’re very welcome and I always bring an immersion heater with me because it’s great when I’m doing carry-on only but if I’m going to be checking luggage, I will bring an electric kettle! 💕😊
My friend, if you were living next door to me, we'll be the best friends ever 😊
Lol! 😂🤣 I bet we would be and I bet we would be the most prepared people on the block😊❤️🙏
@@TheoryofSimple 😄
Excellent tips! I learned a lot 😊 googling personal water filter now 😁
Thank you!❤️😊
Another great video. I’ll be rewatching when I have a long hauler, but a lot of them have good info for ANY flight. Your suggestions are tried and true! Thanks for the update on David. He’s doing so well! Continued prayers for his speedy recovery. 😘
Thank you so much, Colleen! I’m glad you found this video with some great helpful hacks. Very happy with how David is progressing and we’re trying to convince him to be in a video with me so everybody can see him.🙏❤️😊
@@TheoryofSimple No pressure, but it would be nice to see David doing so well. Let him know that we are all his cheerleaders!
Wonderful update on David. God bless
Thank you kindly❤️🙏❤️
10/10🌿Good stuff. Being a backpacker, I have many of the same things but outdoors versions. We’ll exchange notes sometime.🌿
Thank you so much! I think because I was also a volunteer forest ranger for two years and lived out of a backpack that I carry a lot of these things! Would really love to exchange notes😊❤️
Great video!!! I would love to see your travel laundry set up video, if you have one. I learn so much from your videos.
Thank you so much! ❤️ I will be putting together a laundry video very soon🙏😊
Stumbled onto your channel a bit ago and I'm loving the videos! BTW your red fabric/blanket backdrop, is upside down. 🙃 Thx for sharing your tips and tricks!
Lol! Thank you so much! I’m so happy you are enjoying my videos. I did not know that scarf was upside down ! I will change that right now😂🤣 thank you for letting me know😊❤️🙏
Woohoo David! Will continue the prayers. Thanks for the video.
You’re welcome and thank you so much for your prayers and thoughts❤️🙏❤️
Hi Eunice, I purchased the kipling tote and love it so versatile, thank you.
Hi Sarah! I’m so glad you love the Kipling tote! I just ordered another one yesterday and my favorite color yellow! They are wonderful totes, and they last forever! 🙏❤️😊 thank you so much for watching in supporting my channel❤️💕
I am totally the crazy bag lady too!
Sisters!❤️😂
Enjoyed enjoyed enjoyed
Thumbs up
Thank you so much🙏❤️😊
Would love to see a video with your new toiletry items!
I’ll definitely be putting together a video on the two toiletry bags that I carry😉😊
I'm vertically challenged and can't reach the overhead bins so I always opt to take an underseater for my long haul flights. I pretty much took ideas from what you had in yours and it made things more comfy for me and gave me peace of mind (from all the lost luggage complaints I've been reading about). A must-have item I bring (even in my edc) is an extra bag for shopping. Recently learned about the Shuppato folding bag so I got one and absolutely love it! Now I can't wait for my next long haul flight.
I’m so glad that you were able to modify this set to work for you😊 that carry-on personal item is just going to be a thing that everybody should be thinking about packing a certain way just because of things like the lost luggage situation. That’s what happened in quite a bit lately.. I want to thank you so much for sharing your ideas with all of us🙏😊❤️
I have a similar issue, although I can usually reach my overhead bag, it's a struggle. A well packed personal item bag is definitely the way to go. Even if you are able to reach the overhead bins, it's a hassle to need access to it during the flight.
@@zoedeterding9147 agree! I don’t like to get up during the flight and disturb anyone to get what I need. Plus if they have the seatbelt sign on and they don’t let you up we’re kind of stuck without whatever you need.😊
You just made me want to buy some pair of croc sandals lol...
Good to hear that David is well.
Lol! They are darn comfortable! Im getting them in other colors! David says thank you 🙏❤️😊
I can relate so very much with you. Grief comes rushing over me like a Monster wave. I miss my Kids each day who live so far away, and my son who died 33 years ago. Grief is like a shadow always with me. My faith has helped me, and knowing that there are others who understand. I wish you and each one the resources to carry on. Love❤
I’m so sorry we share the same sorority. My son has been gone for seven years and although I’m learning to live with my new normal, there are times where something to strikes and the tears flow. Sending you love and energy.🙏❤️🙏
Great tips! I’m so glad I watched this video. The water bottle with filter tip is criterial and one of the most important things to travel with. I always buy water at the airports and I want to avoid that so expensive. I’ll do it if I need to but I want to get this collapsible filter water bottle. Thank you for these great tips as always
You’re so very welcome! I carry one of those filters with me all the time just in case I’m out hiking and I ran out of water. I have actually dipped my collapsible bottle into a stream and then put that filter on top of it and drink out of it and I’ve never been sick.🙏😊❤️
Glad David is doing so well.
Thank you so much🙏❤️😊
Another fabulous video. I leave for France in 33 days and rewatching all your travel videos. I’ve already incorporated many of your tips. We just returned from a road trip to Seattle. I really wish I had ordered the camping silverware you link because trying to eat in the hotel room with plastic forks was awful! Adding to cart now. Xoxo- Angela
Thank you so much, Angela! I’m so happy you’re getting some crate hacks for your trip overseas! Yes, those plastic forks are not what they used to be and they just break and they’re not good for the environment so I always try to bring at least one fork and spoon and maybe even a knife with me depending on where I’m going. Plus if you ever just want to take a little picnic with you when you’re out on your trip, you have some things to cook some bread and cheese and some salami and have a sweet little picnic.❤️🙏😊 Hope you have a wonderful trip.❤️🙏❤️
Thank for your amazing video! Also, you have the most beautiful skin!
Thank you! In the last year, I have been battling rosacea. Ever since I had Covid it just has not been great but I’m so glad that you think my skin is beautiful.🙏😊❤️
Would love the video with makeup in the toiletries bag!
Coming soon!🙏❤️😊
That is what I use for a bag but I will pack about 3 days of clothes, including a bathing suit and coverup in a compression packing bag. I pack it on the bottom. If we are traveling to a hot climate from our cold climate,I will grab something out and change while we wait for our luggage. If we are cruising they take your luggage so you need a backup plan if they lose your luggage. We do what we can to be comfortable in uncomfortable situations. Everytime you show a gadget omg I got to check it out. You have alot of great taste and ideas.
Thank you so much🙏😊❤️ I was on a cruise months, and the whole family had all of their luggage lost. They ended up buying things in the gift shop on the cruise ship to wear, and had to wear the same thing every day.. it was really sad. And I don’t know if they ever got their luggage back.. 😟 things like that have taught me to always have things on me personally, that will get me through a few days and allow me to wash things and re-wear them, and also to have clothing is very versatile!😊🙏
I LOVE my Hero Clip. I have it with me always.
Me too! 😍 love it!
Great video! Thanks for sharing. Please link the purchasing information for the black purse that you keep inside the large bag.
Thank you! Everything should be linked in the video description. If there is not a link then i may have bought it a long time ago and it may no longer be available. I try to find something similar is possible and link in the video description😊💕
Such great ideas! You are so helpful! I use a cool little gadget to hold my post earrings when I travel. The Lion Latch is about the size of a marshmallow. It's built like a jar with a lid. The jar part has a post in the middle that the lid fits over. The lid has a corresponding hole for the post to go through. The post also has a hole that a hinged ring goes into. That ring keeps the lid on tight and can be used to hang the whole thing. I attach mine to the hook on my toiletry bag.
Thank you, Beverly! I had seen those but wondered how well they worked. So happy you have used it and like it! Thank you for sharing that with us😊🙏❤️
@@TheoryofSimple You are so welcome, Eunice! I am about to go on a long-haul trip and I will be using many of your tips, ideas, and the products you recommend. I'll let you know how it goes!
@@beverlygibson3546 yes! Please keep me posted and have a great trip🙏❤️
I am loving your videos. I’ve gotten lots of tips for my next trip. One question. At one point I thought you had recommendations for disabled travelers. Do you have a video on that?
I have not made a video on that. Honestly, I have not traveled with someone disabled so I am not familiar with that situation. 😊🙏
I take a few peppermints. If my tummy is feeling a little yuck or I just need something for dry mouth, peppermints are perfect. They must be made with real peppermint oil, though.
Great idea! Peppermint gum works for
Me😊
So glad I watched this video. I purchased travel hangers for trips last fall and wanted hanging options for pants. I couldn't figure out what to cobble together to make it happen and what choices were available were not preferred. Thank you for showing your example. It sparked my brain down the path of alternatives. And thank you for sharing the what's and why's of your personal bag. I wish I had the foresight on a trip to Budapest many years ago when my luggage had a whole separate trip of its own. Was a very uncomfortably damp four days in the city til my luggage return. Still working on tweaking and refining my travel packing but with each trip it improves. Always a work in progress. 😊💙🖤✨
Thank you so much, Mari! My packing is also always a work in progress. People asked me all the time how I should pack and the truth of the matter is it’s very individual depending on where you’re going how long you’re staying what you’re going to be doing who you’re going to be with the weather etc. every packing trip is an adventure for me.! 😁 I’m so glad you’re finding those hangers and finding that little hack useful! I always like finding different ways of using things to make them multi functional! If you have any great have to share, we’d love to hear it here🙏😊❤️
@@TheoryofSimple that's so true. Asking someone else how to pack a bag seemed like a somewhat pointless question. Not to mention, asking the question within a comment section for a video showing in detail how the bag is packed. So many variables factor into how an individual packs. I think of travel videos as loose suggestions and a great way to improve on one's own packing. Either picking up new tips, seeing what mistakes to avoid, or confirming tried and tested tips one already uses. I don't have any hacks off the top of my head. And none that are new. Techniques and products I use may be variations of existing travel things sometimes found cheaper. But the hack that works for me most of the time is to have a smile handy, positive vibes and a good attitude. ☺️
@@marisgoldenhour6212 having a smile and a positive attitude is the key to everything! Sometimes packing can become a frustrating event. I say, grab a glass of wine and start early, try on everything and see which items you would wear the most and if there is room, add the extras! 🍷😊🙏❤️
@@TheoryofSimple trying on clothes is an unnecessary step for me. I already know what fits and what combos work. It's mostly I don't have the patience to do all that. Much like bra shopping. 😑 But cocktails while packing is part of the ritual of travel. 😁
PRAYERS TO DAVID. BLESS U BOTH
Thank you so much🙏❤️🙏
I was personally waiting for you to pull your EDC bag out of a duffle pocket 😂. Another great one, Eunice!
Thanks, Brandon! Lol! 😂 Everything in my EDC bag is scattered among the things in the personal item🙏😊
@TheoryofSimple haha, I've inadvertently watched that other video of yours a few times, and each time my eyes pop out like a cartoon character when you pull out that EDC pack. 😄
@@Brandon-0028 lol! Mary Poppins 🤣😂
@@TheoryofSimple Literally! 🤣😂
As a professional speaker/trainer I would only wear a navy blue "tailored" jogging suit. That way if and when luggage was lost I could actually give a seminar with out looking "too " bad! My luggage was lost for 5 days in South Africa, and this saved me!
That’s a really smart idea! I make sure that whatever I’m wearing on the plane is going to be able to get me through a few days by mixing and matching with a small packing cube that I put in my personal carry-on. Twice in my life. My luggage has been lost for four days and I had to live off of what I wore on the plane and that little packing cube and I’m so glad that I pack and dress this way when I travel.💕😊
Excellent video, thank you, just what I need to help for a trip coming up in a few weeks. This one is a little complicated because I'll have a solo long haul international flight (9 hours), 3 days at a friend's house, then a 3 hour domestic flight with them. Then there'll be the return domestic flight a week later and the return long haul ten days after that. The long haul flights will have seat-back entertainment screens and the short haul flights probably won't but I won't be flying alone for those. I'm like you with multiple bags - I'll have a good sized soft personal item bag with a smaller bag inside (hang over the tray table - mostly for easy access, and keep with me for visits to the bathroom), and another bag packed (probably in the overhead carry-on packed with spare clothes or something) that'll be used as my day bag at my destinations. My planning starts weeks in advance by having a box next to my desk at home in which I start putting items I think of or just ordered. Some examples: gifts for friends, a book I want signing by the author who I'll be seeing, a new Heroclip I've just ordered, a variety of requested British chocolate.
That sounds like an amazing trip! And sounds like it will be very prepared for all those flights🙏😊❤️ I very much like you and I prepare weeks in advance with some of the basics, and then add on or change out things as I get closer, depending on itinerary and weather. I hope you have a wonderful time and make some amazing memories with your friends.🙏😊
Thank you! I love the preparation, planning, and flying with the airport experience. Going through security is a little tedious but even that I don't mind too much because I always think of it as part of the process and it's leading to a wonderful trip. Immigration can also be a bit tedious and tiring but I think of that in the same way as the security process.
Love the video! Please share a link to this bag. I've been searching for a long time for a bag like this.
Thank you so much! This waist pack is from REI. I think I put s link To something similar in the video description🙏❤️😊
Thank you for another fantastic video! I sincerely appreciate your wonderful content. Wishing you and David good health ❤
Thank you so much! I’m so happy you are enjoying my continent and David and I are on this health journey and figuring it out😊 we’re doing some research as well and trying to decipher what’s best for both of us at this point but definitely will be making some changes🙏❤️ Thank you so much for asking.😊
Love your travel advice. Thank you. I’m wondering if you have a link for your jewellery pouch. Looks like the perfect size. 😊
That jewelry pouch very old, and I have looked and looked for it! It’s from Baggallini and I didn’t want to bring that up but I do have a couple of other jewelry things that I bring so I’ll probably have to do a separate video just on packing jewelry.😊🙏
@@TheoryofSimple thank you so much for looking. I don’t travel with too much but I want to keep it safe. Most I find are too bulky and hard. PS. Love all for packing tips 😊
@@karenlangley8254 you are welcome. I just read my reply and realized it has so random. Using voice to text doesn’t always translate well😏
Love the bag and how it converts. What brand?? Maybe I can find it somewhere.
So happy your Honey is progressing well. 🙏🏻✌️
Thank you so much, Lorena! There should be links to everything in the video description. If there’s some thing that is not there, let me know and I’ll see if I can let you know where I got it🙏😊❤️ Thank you so much for watching and supporting my channel.🙏
I always wear my heaviest shoes on a long haul flight BUT I bring those Sherpa lined slipper socks and put them on immediately before take off so my feet don’t get uncomfortable for the duration and I can move around better. I usually just buy cheap ones so I can throw them out after. I’ve had so many women compliment me on planes about this little comfy trick (and no I never remove my slippers on the plane).
Agree! I try to always wear my heaviest choose, unless they are some sort of high top hiker. And if I’m bringing a high top hiker usually means I’m bringing a bunch of backpacking equipment so that I’m usually bringing checked luggage.. but I agree have a slippers on just can make things so much more comfortable and then you also have a pair of slippers to wear during your trip😊❤️🙏 great minds think a like😊 thank you so much for commenting and sharing your ideas with us🙏
@@TheoryofSimple thank you for your videos, just love your unique ideas!
@@Megannicole-ve4qj thank you so much and I look forward to your feedback on all my videos🙏❤️🙏
Would love a new video that includes make up and brushes!!
Coming soon🙏❤️😊
I'm speechless. You are me on steroids. 😂 I needed ALL OF THIS INFO for traveling to Europe for 6+ months!
Lol! We are cut from the same cloth! Six months is a long trip! 🙏 hope all these hacks help you have a wonderful and safe trip🙏😊❤️
@@TheoryofSimple When I get organized and safely in Europe, I'll have to reach out to interview you for my channel. You have put so much work in to this information!!! THANK YOU! I'll be sure to support you by buying from your links. XOXO
@@ThePsychicStylist thank you so much😊❤️🙏
Hello, just found your channel, started planning a trip and your insight on traveling has been quite valuable in my research. Would love to know the brand name for the waterproof stuff bag, needing compact items and this is perfect.
Hi Sarah, thank you so much and welcome to my channel! Very happy to have you and your feedback here! I believe everything is linked in the video description. If for some reason it is not, please let me know, and I will get you the link.! 🙏😊❤️
Can you do a video for travelling to Japan? The medicine issue worries me!
It has been years since I have traveled to Japan. I will do some research 🙏🇯🇵
I always love your videos! Happy to hear that David is much better, thank God! My Amazon wish list is getting pretty long, just waiting for funding. One question that I've had for a while is, if I select a different color or pattern than the one you've shown, do you still get credit for it?
Yes! As a matter of fact, if you buy something different or anything else, I get a little kick back! ❤️🙏😊 thank you so much for supporting my channel🙏❤️🙏
@@TheoryofSimple Thank you for your reply! Glad to have found your channel. I need more gadgets. I am absolutely not a minimalist! Although, I do follow one on TH-cam.
@@wanrapea well, I am your gadget enabler! I love gadgets as well, and as much as I’d like to be a minimalist it’s probably not gonna happen😂🤣 I just like to say I like to carry a lot of things minimally😊
Do you have a travel pin map? I would love to see all the places you’ve travel ed to. 💖kolleen
No! But you just gave me a great idea! Maybe I need to put one up in my studio!❤️😊🙏
I didn’t consider an airtag in my carryon but good idea. I hope no one would walk away with it but one never knows.
I am considering taking my Vera Bradley campus backpack as a carryon. Has anyone had an issue doing so? I always spray my Vera Bags with scotchguard to keep them clean and water resistant.
Thank you so much! ❤️🙏 I keep an AirTag and all my bags because sometimes when you’re caring a lot of stuff you may forget my bag and leave it on the chair or something and this way you’ll be able to get an alert. It’s more about me probably being forgetful rather than somebody walking off with it. You should have no problem with your Vera Bradley backpack.😊❤️
Funny….’I wasn’t recording?? AGAIN???’ 😂
How many times I think I’m filming and then I’m not! 😂🤣
💗
Love this content. Can you please share how much your bag weighs once it is fully packed?
I think this bag weighed about 13 pounds but it was loaded like this, but it varies depending on what I’m putting in it. 🙏😊❤️
@Theory of Simple thank you somuch for the reply! Heading to Ireland and Italy this fall and this content is super helpful!
@@mannerspleasecaninetrainin1007 you are very welcome and I hope you have a wonderful trip to Europe! 🙏😊❤️

Will the immersion plug into an adapter and then 😅 the outlet without a transformer ( Europe) ?
I have only used it with a converter, so I am not positive it would work or not burn out🙏
