[S] We've spent the last eight years
Traveling A LOT and with that we've done some mistakes with what we've been packing
and we've learned many new things but over these past few months
Martina and I have spent a lot of time trying to perfect our travel kit
and today we are going to tell you the BEST WAY that you could pack your luggage
For a trip. You could use some of this you could use all of this
Hopefully you won't use none of this, but this is gonna be very useful
Martina take it away.
[M]Tag me in!
*slap*
ow!
[S] God! did that hurt you, too?!
[M] You clapped a bone joint on that one!
We're gonna start with what we call our Airbnb and cheap hotel kit if you can afford to stay at a five-star hotel every time
You travel, you don't have to worry about this stuff
You can be like Hotel *clap, clap* Get me things I need but if you're traveling and staying in Airbnb
It's like we are or if you're staying a business hotels that just have like the basics
This kit's gonna save ya, you call that a knife . This is a knife actually. It's not a knife. It's a knife sharpener
It's really nifty super teeny tiny and small
*sword unsheathing*
It's basically just like a granite file and on the other side
*sword unsheathing*
There a little tiny baby one
For sharpening other knives through it
We have been to enough Airbnb s where the knives were like cutting Tomatoes with your elbows
It was like taking a spoon and jamming it all over yourself
It is so frustrating that people don't have sharp knives, which is why we travel with a knife sharpener
and of course
Leave them a little note to let them know you've sharpened their knives just in case they expect it to be dull.
I like coffee. I NEED coffee.
I CANNOT SURVIVE WITHOUT MY COFFEE
so these any weenie coffee filters can fit inside your
Purse and basically they go on top of a cup you fold them under and they puff down to form a little tiny paper filter
And I'll usually bring pre-ground coffee with me now
This is an arrow press or as we call the Swedish penis
Enlargement pump and if you don't get that you need to go watch Austin Powers again...
**Austin Powers impression** That's not mine, baby
I've never seen that before in my life, baby.**
**Back to normal voice**All British people around the world are cringing *Laughing*
At my British accent. This weird contraption can make up to four shots of espresso
I can explain how this works if you're interested later on
but for now...
Look at this interesting thing. You're intrigued aren't you?
A Teenie weanie sewing kit with tiny fold up scissors!
There have been a lot of times where you least expect it when a a button bust off something and you have no way to actually fix it
Doesn't that happen to everyone?
you're putting on your shirt and you're like
Ahhh!
the button goes *button hits floor*
No?
[S] Everyone... [M] everyone, right?
It happens to me like four times. Oh my god....
you need sewing kits in your life.
How can I help you Tiny boy,?
S as Spudgy: I want more water.
I just filled it for you like 10 seconds ago
Airbnb s often don't have wine openers and
We have resorted to things... to try to open up our bottles of wine including Googling how to open wine
*Typing sound effect*
It didn't go well
Oooo Ahhh
It's my miniature bar!
Alright packed in here, I have a tiny bottle of bitters.
I have a tiny bottle of tonic syrup
I've got a
Miniature shot glass and I've got a spoon that has both a muddler
and a stir stick along with a pack of brown sugar
And the only other interesting thing I have here is this which is my homemade chai syrup. What's that?
I'm glad you asked...
This is one of those perfume filler cases that have a very distinct word that I can't remember anymore
Diffusers or...
[S] Spritzer?
[M] Spritzer? No, there's a name for the ones that you can buy to like refill your perfume
[S] Uh, vibrator
[M] Uh, yes, that's it
Make a chai tea syrup on the stovetop using equal parts sugar and water to make a simple syrup
and then I soaked Chai tea bags in them for many many hours
and then I drain them and I use it for cocktails
REALLY nice with an old fashioned you can also use this for your tea and coffee because there's no alcohol in this
it's just Chai tea syrup, and it's delicious
That is AMAZING and I can't believe I've never tried that before and
And last up is a little bit of a comfort food
These are little instant miso soups
Now everything in this comfort kit is tailored to OUR needs
We like to drink, we like miso soup
We like coffee, but make sure you pack something in your kit as well that can give you that comfort of home
Ducky you're up! *slap*
[S] Next up. I have this little travel kit that has all of my cables nicely wrapped up .
Ooh, look at that
We have lightning cables, Micro SD cables, I have the USBC cable, little SD card reader for whenever we take pictures
I love this kit so much, boys. We have a little travel plug adapter because every country has their own different thing
I love this one right here, five different USB ports. You can plug into I have my own laptop charger as well
So these are all doubles of everything that I need regularly
but I have it this way so that it's set in this bag
I never have to think about it again when I come home
And I have to unpack or when I'm about to pack. I never have to worry
This has all the cables that I'm ever gonna need for my work. It's pretty much a set it and forget it Martina you're in
*slap*
[M] Comfort bag. Let's look inside. This little tiny bag. What could there possibly be?
Oh Travel sfurs(slippers). Yes, I pack travel slippers
Don't need your judgment
we recently
came back from Italy where they had stone cold ice death floors and
None of the slippers fit me because I have a huge feet.
That's right, I have huge feet!
Between size 9 in size 11 women's depending on the mood of the shoe.
These are men's travel shippers
They're from Uniqlo and they fold up so nicely and teeny-tiny and they pop out... Tada!
And I've got my travel shilppers and what's this?
Travel pajamas. Yes, I traveled with pajamas and I sleep in pajamas!
Gosh! just because I'm trying to reproduce my entire home when I travel *laughing*
[S] Look, it's weird that you have travel pajamas.
[M] Is it really? Why? These are comfortable pajamas! What if the house is cold? Or the hotel has those weird suchely pajamas?
They're so cute! They've got pineappers on them! And they double as a shirt in case you didn't pack enough clothing.
[S] Quick! Sir!
[M] Also packed my pajamas you can see...VOILA! There are no pajamas because I sleep naked
*O.O*
Technically you could say that I'm always wearing pajamas
*Whispering* I'm wearing my pajamas right now
Who wears pajamas to sleep? Sleep naked, saves the environment
Also, I pack my own slippers except these aren't as...
[M] *Mocking voice* Oh! so ratty!
[S] These are my old rattly...
since I've like
been, like, in my 30s
I just love wearing slippers around the house
The spirit of Mister Rogers has taken over me and
I definitely have to pack my slippers but never pajamas
Sleep naked...forever...
best way to go.
Ducky, you're back in!
*slap*
[M] Also in my comfort kit...
These are portable heat patches because YEAH...
and these are my prescription pain patches.
That's right
I have PRESCRIPTION pain patches.
Oh, yeah. Oh, oh, oh, yeah
Ow! I just literally cranked my neck doing that. Man...
Pack these in my luggage and also in my own
Airplane luggage because nice healthy dose of pain medication is always good for somebody like me with EDS.
Ooh, what's this?
It's my little tiny travel medicine kit. Hmm what could be inside of it? This is throat coat
It is a tea for helping your throat when you lose your voice
Which has helped me plenty of times when we went on tour.
Smooth move.
Does it help you dance better?
No helps you poop better, the natural way
Graval for nausea its anti diarrhea medication
Okay, that's it except for this pepto. This is special liquid anti diarrhea medication *laughing*
Diarrhea after diarrhea. Listen, my tummy gets upset frequently. I think I throw up twice a month. That's what we've discovered
My stomach is always all over the place and we have been to enough countries to discover that they all have different names for things
And you're totally screwed. Remember, Australia?
[S] Yeah!
I threw up the whole flight to Australia
Because I'm Martina and then when I landed all I wanted was Pepto and the people are like, what are you talking about?
And we're like Pink Bismuth? and everyone's like "What?" and we showed pictures and we did dances...
couldn't find it anywhere ;-;
Alright, that's enough about poop
The last two things I packed is a simple contact lens case and I put just two back pain medication for Simon
and a lot of places will have different names for this as well.
You can have a totally messed up back from being on an airplane
Anyhow, that's enough about MY digestive problems
You guys may not have as many digestive problems as me
but make sure you pack a little medical kit for the things that YOU need that may not be available to you when you go to other countries
*mumbling* Folding up the jams...
[S] *scolding* Fold them up like an adult!
You unfolded them, you got to fold them back up like an adult
Not like that
Don't... look.... just...at... for once in your life Woman fold some laundry!
Hey, there you go, that's folded
No! No, please no! Why do you do this to me? *whining* Just... ;-;
M: *cute and sassy* It's a duck...
These are what we call Pajamas. That's not a real word is it?
[S] No Cherie...
find Travel jibs that...get really, really small like this
[S] Or even smaller.. Sleep Naked!
In! *slap*
Next up on the list is something I'm very happy about
I'm not going to open this up because I don't want you to see everything inside
I have bought... an EXTRA seven pairs of underwear and
seven pairs of socks because I...
MANY TIMES forget to pack them!
[M] Roll the footage!
Don't roll any footage!
This doesn't have to be part of the video!
[M] Do you have any underwear packed, Simon?
*Embarrassed laughter*
Err....it....doesn't even matter...
[M] Did you pack any underwear?
You know what...sometimes...
you do and sometimes you don't....
The point is I have these specifically just for travel. I never have to worry about it again
I just grabbed this bag and when I come back from travel
I just throw it all in the laundry never ever ever ever have to think about your travel underwear again
It's so important! Buy extra travel underwear.
Yes! That is taking it a step too far.
Some of you are like.."Hold on, I barely have enough underwear to make through the week"
I have enough underwear to make it through the week AND through a solid week of travel.
I am so proud
This is one of my greatest achievements. Thank you. Mom and Dad
*Applause sfx*
*Manly grunt*
Ducky go!
*slap*
Let's talk entertainment. Simon and I are big book fans
So a couple years ago Simon and I switched over totally to Kindle which has been SO much more amazing for us
But recently, I've been having a really hard time holding up my devices because of my EDS getting worse
It hurts my elbows, my shoulders, my fingers... so I actually recently switched over to Audible
Thank you guys so much for that suggestion because a little while ago
I was taking a bath and I was talking about how my shoulders get sore
And someone said you should definitely be getting into Audiobooks
which leads me to this...
Thank you Audible for sponsoring this video!
If you do not know about the power of audiobooks for those of us with achy arms!
I'm all ready to go with a new book for my upcoming travels
I actually downloaded Ready Player One, which I think is now a movie...
And it's being narrated by Wil Wheaton!
[S] Who the hell is Wil Wheaton?
*shattering glass*
Did you just say that?! Did you just say who the hell is Wil Wheaton?!
*le GASP*
*whispers* come closer...
*SLAP*
Next Generation forever!
So on our upcoming trip I get to listen to the sweet sweet Wil Wheaton talk to me about Ready Player One
[Wil Wheaton] Broadcasting obscure eclectic crap 24/7...365...
[M] If you guys go to audible.com/simonandmartina
or if you text simonandmartina to...
500-500
You can get an exclusive 30-day free trial and a book of your choice for free!
[S] Do we really have our own number that people get text message now? [M] Yes, 500-500
Simon and Martina pulls out their phones and starts texting Audible...
And they're like, "Please don't text us that's not part of the deal"
*dorky voice* Hey Audible! [S] Hey Audible! [S&M] Blah bleh bleh
And look at my cute Kindle case
*screech of joy*
*Slap*
Pillows... Why? because we've been to many hotels in Japan and Korea...
that have TERRIBLE pillows!
[M] BEANS!
Filled with BEANS or just filled with...JUNK!
[M] *laughing*
They're just TERRIBLE, terrible pillows
And you NEED to be able to sleep well...
So WE always pack travel pillows with us.
Just we could guarantee that we have a good sleep...
because honestly... other people's pillows suck...
You know this, you've slept in other people's houses
and their pillows suck.
Unless you're young and you can sleep on anything. That's fine
but for us DAINTY folk
We need our own pillows and we are packing these with us.
*Manly grunt*
All right something else that's really important to us.
This big boy right here. Yeah, yeah, yeah
This is a jam box. A portable speaker
I know some of you guys are like, that's crazy
but listen
This guy has come with us around the world
music is SO important to Simon and I and after a long day of
Travel there is nothing more comforting for us than having good music
I feel like we've left underwear behind, we've forgotten like our coffee things
But the jam box has made it with us everywhere we go
MUSIC!
You ruin it with your underwear!
get the flow right Simon!
*slap*
I'm not sure what the laws of cats are in your country, but we really like ours is very warm
He purrs a lot...
not purring right now
He doesn't seem out too pleased about this
Really good for snuggling at night if you can't sleep
So make sure you pack one of these also
Ask you're traveling....
Actually. This is a joke in case you couldn't tell
Please don't pack your cats with you..
You can get a lot of trouble. Don't ever do that.
*using baby voice* My sweet boy, I'm gonna miss you so much when we go into our vacation
Yes we will, I love you fat BOY!
*normal voice* and the last thing we're gonna talk about is toiletries
Martina has her own little
Toiletry kit with all the things that she likes
I, in fact, have my own as well and it's pretty heavy
In fact, it's heavier than Martina's.
What is in here?
Wouldn't you like to know. Come to my video, and I will teach you
the basics of male hygiene that you all need to know.
You know this is a good video and you're interested [M]*interrupting* WAIT!*
[M] Hang on a second! You guys want to know how this works, right? the Swedish penis enlarging....
umm..
Aeropress Summa Bob... Come with me for my coffee tutorial
[S] Do you want that or do you want to learn how to not smell bad? Men?
Come on, you have no choice women with smelly men! Come on! Yeah?
Damn, right I smell good and you know it, girl!
*sniffers*
[M] Ooo, your beard smells nice :-D
[S] That's right...
[M] Let me smell your mustache...
*sniffers*
[M] Also a nice smell :-D
[S] Gotta take care of yourselves...
[M] But coffee...
