Honey... We're using android in Europe... Keep your apple cult in America!

I knew about 3 of the 10 tips presented; but the other seven tips were awsome!!

Dude! These are emm effen excellent tips, all of them! Thank you. The credit card choice between USD and local was my favorite. I had no idea.

[beatrix]

I didn’t know about the currency converter in the calculator! handy :)

[gabrieledekoning]

I signed up, great tips. I know only 3 of them already. Enjoy our travels.

[heatherqualy]

Didn’t know half of these, and they are all great tips! Thanks!

[gamacaluso]

Thank you for these fabulous tips! Very helpful especially the apple block 😊

Excellent travel tips! I had no idea about the credit card exchange trap. I updated my phone to iOS 18 and ta-da! Built in currency converter! Brilliant! And I agree with you that air tags are an absolute must for travel. :)

Good video. I knew most of the tips already but you explained them more concisely and reminded me of some I don't always use to best effect. The changeable plug charger I have for a battery bank but didn't know that other chargers offered it also. I have used the credit card reverse charges and currency charge using local currency but nice to be reminded about them. Last trip was first adding air tags. Global Entry/TSA Pre check and putting credit cards on Apple wallet or Google pay also are big aids if a card is lost or stolen and making airport security much easier and faster.

Nice tips. Several are iPhone specific. It would be great if, in the future, you can find Android comparable items. Thanks!

[jgulinello]

Love the tips. Did not know about the calculator.

These are all good tips known to most astute travelers. One comment regarding adapters. Since most electronics now can run from 110 - 220 all you need is a simple and small piece that snaps on to the end of your plug and converts your US plug to the country plug you need. It is small, light and you can purchase all of the for a very low price. I have used these for years across the globe.

[mkmariak]

Too many are only good for iPhone. Would be good to know if there are android equivalents.

I absolutely LOVE your videos. I am older (significantly) but grew up doing a lot of traveling (the child of an airline employee ) so I've always felt pretty confident traveling. Being older though means I miss important technology upgrades and your location and travel tips are so helpful! Thanks for sharing your wisdom. I wonder if you can also share more about your relationship? I am a couples counselor. Doing so much traveling and decision-making can stress many couples - I am sure you two have had your issues, but please consider a video series on how you two get through some of the crazy difficulties that beset travelers. Thanks & Happy travels!

In europe most cities have free WiFi. Also almost all restaurants, hotels, airports and museums have free WiFi. If you don't want to be dependent on this, then please buy a local sim, because europe is much cheaper than us

Well done….knew the first 9, number 10 is WOW. THANK YOU 🙏

[LifewithAaronArnold]

Hi David! I liked your video! 👍 I am also a Traveler of Europe! I just moved to Slovenia! I would love to connect! Cheers!! 🎉🎉

Already knew almost all. The free tour thing is slightly interesting but I tend to believe you get what you pay for in most situations.

[debsomers]

Thank you for all this very important and money saving information.
