Here's a tip: weigh yourself. Then pick up your suitcase and hop on the scale. Subtract your own weight. Congrats you've weighed your suitcase at home probably without buying a contraption.

If you're traveling to Europe, take washcloths or face wipes for removing makeup. European hotels do not have washcloths; only towels. I like to do my skincare routine and I don't like splashing my face from the sink.

"Take extra bags" Yes! These are so helpful for shopping, dirty clothes, and shoes. 👍🏼

I thought I was the only one! Lol I have a permanent packing list on my phone in the reminder app. Super hard core. I have tabs for each type of thing I need to pack. Toiletries, consumables, bottoms, etc.
I even have URLs for things I might need to replace as well as packing hacks under the note for each one. Lol.

Bring tea bags, granola bars, and small snacks in case you get the munchies at odd hours when overseas.

Add a dryer sheet to your laundry bag for better smelling laundry going home. Also add 1/2 a sheet in the toes of athletic shoes too. There is no such thing as a sweet smelling athletic shoe.
Make sure your adapter for the UK is also a voltage adapter. The UK uses a 220 volt plug; the U.S. uses 110.

I LOVE the fact that I could see where to skip to the next tip when the current one was something I already knew. Nice down to earth delivery—no false excitement or inane chit chat👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 just a nice personable delivery

For health & beauty items that you only need a tiny bit of (foundation, liquid lip color, stuff like that), a contact lens case works nicely as a DIY travel size.

It’s usually also a good idea to simplify your routine, just so you only have to pack and keep track of five items instead of ten. Multitaskers like foundation/sunscreen can help too.

Cutting leftover plastic bags to go over your liquids is so smart! I’ve never thought about doing that!

[breew]

similar to the dryer sheets my mother used to just throw a little bar of scented soap in with the clothes to keep them smelling good, and then you have extra soap if you need it

Packing cubes and rolling my clothes saved me when I when on a trip to Italy, France, and England for 3 weeks last year with my family!
I'm planning on solo traveling soon and I'm DEFINITELY bringing my packing cubs when i go!

[ginaschelleman]

I have put a sticky label on the OUTSIDE of my passport, large enough to write down my passport number and expiry date. Then I don’t have to open my passport every time I need to fill out a transit card. All the information is on the outside! I’ve been doing this for years, and it’s a game changer!

Thank you very much for your wonderful video. You might want to add the new rules about lithium batteries not going in your luggage. This kind of safety tip would be very helpful.

Plumber's Teflon tape works well to seal the travel bottles.

I carry one canvas shopping tote bag and a normal plastic bag in my handbag and once i settle down on plane I take out tote bag and plastic bag and put all the stuff in tote bag like socks, thongs, toiletries, beanie, snack, earplugs or whatever you need on plane and it becomes very handy especially at the end of journey 🙂

some extra tips on top of hers: buy refillable bottles in different colours or with different coloured lids, very helpful; pack some wash stuff at the top, because you will often want to wash and dry your hands or have a freshen up when backpacking or other heavy travelling, and some toilet roll; tampons etc vary wildly from country to country, so pack your own brand you normally use!; some banal medications and vitamin-mineral supplements are illegal in some countries, eg pure iron supplement is banned in Holland because it's dangerous for children (but essential for anaemic vegan women!); pack something heavy that you'll use up, such as muesli, so you have spare weight as well as spare space for the junk you acquire; research your plugs and chargers before you go, don't take worldwide when one light one will do, especially split into usbc-usb lead plus relevant usb plugs, and maybe take an OTG powerpack; i can't go anywhere without my kindle, but even if you normally never read, download a couple of bearable books onto your phone, nothing is so useful if you're stuck somewhere for hours (airports! airplanes!) as a book and now you don't have to carry an extra half kilo / 1lb per book, you can indulge; take totes and bags without english writing on, so you don't scream 'tourist'! (and attract crime); do not just worry about having valuables pickpocketed or bagsnatched, worry equally about all things you need, eg hearing aid, glasses, medicines, keys, passport, and act accordingly; take a headscarf, portable antimacasser and way to block you or someone else's cough. A showercap is useful, because lots of european showers don't have a detachable hand bit but just holes overhead.

I like to pack a big gauzy scarf for summer trips to Europe - often the beds had only a comforter, which is too much for hot summer nights. The scarf worked as a makeshift top sheet - just enough to feel comfy but not hot. And then of course it worked as a scarf too, for cooler days :)

[slaterson]

A frozen sponge - I like that! Simple and smaller than the standard water bottle. Plus, I might be able to wrap a necklace around it later to keep it safe.

[wendyisaacs]

I have been watching travel videos for weeks. Hands down this is the best one I have seen!

[KateGoesExploring]

I've never heard that trick. Binder clips FTW! Thanks for sharing!
