life hacks after this video
I am so so excited to be sharing with you guys some more of my top travel tips
You follow me on Instagram if you're subscribed over my blog channel
Then you probably know I've been just like bouncing around all over
I mean literally all over the whole world for the past several months now
You guys see this I've just gotten a los angeles where I'm living for a month, and that's why over there
I counted it up yesterday
It will be my 20th flight in the past like three months
So I've been on the lot of flights been on a lot of trips and I feel like therefore
I have a lot of tips and that was not
Arrived and I hate what it is. All my grease logs are now up over my blog channel
So make sure you go check that out. See what I was doing every single day in Greece
I've blogged from South Carolina going to cali blogged so many blogs
So make sure you're watching over there, so I just hope that this will be helpful since it is summertime
I saw this was good timing
We may come is below letting me know where you guys have already been this summer, or where you're going?
And if you don't have any plans let me know what your dream travel destination would be also as a side note like looking at
myself in the Viewfinder
I don't pan. I don't know if I look tan you can let me know
I probably don't but like I feel tan for the first time and
approximately like four years all right enough of an intro like I number one I
Highly Highly Highly
Recommend getting TSa precheck for some reason you're unfamiliar with TSA precheck
it's basically just where you go you have to like go to the airport and they like screen you and fingerprint you and whatever so
If you killed somebody don't do this it cost eighty five dollars and it lasts for five years and basically it allows you to
Go in a shorter security line at every airport you don't take out your laptop
You don't take out your liquids you want to take off your jacket or your shoes?
And you just like fly through security I found it to be
So helpful for time saving especially since I travel a lot so that now I don't have to get to the airport like two hours
in Advance if I know the airport like if it's my local airport
And I know what to expect
I will get there like thirty minutes before my flight leaves and just like zip through TSA precheck. I don't necessarily recommend that
But it's worked out fine for me so so when you do the math on TSA precheck it comes down to Seventeen dollars a year
Which is like the same cost as like an early bird Check-in one for one Southwest Airlines flight
You know if you'd like tomorrow once a year
I think it's worth it right now number two this entertain to international travel specifically as well
so in other words in a second just because
I just got back from my first time going to Europe
I've already been getting so many questions about the travel company that I toured with whenever I went to greece you guys
I'm assuming me on Instagram. I've been getting comments over my vlogs channel
I've had it links in all of those logs, and it'll also be links below here to the exact trip
I went on with a company called ef college break to be clear my tip here is to travel if you're going to Europe to
Travel with a travel company specifically to travel with ef college break if you're between the ages of 18 and 28 a little background on
Them you travel wherever you're going in a group of I would guess mine was probably like 30 people
Some are college students somewhere recently out of college some are up to 28
Especially after now having been there and seeing exactly what everything is like I cannot imagine going to greece like all my own or with
My friends or like trying to figure out the logistics of getting around the greek islands
So I am so so so glad I went on this trip with them. Specifically, basically we flew in Athens
We hopped around all the islands for 17 days ended up back in athens and flew back out
I'm also going to insert a little bit of quick fun footage here, and why I consider this to be a travel
I pack is because of the convenience of traveling with them. I didn't book my flight
I never had to go buy a metro ticket. I never bought a ferry ticket picked that up. I never liked you
We literally just like we're told where to be and showed up and everything was already established
I was so convenient like I you just follow your tour director, basically all your hotels are worked out
You just show up
It was super nice because we had free day
So we could do whatever we wanted we had days where?
excursions were planned and
At any time if you didn't want to go on the excursion you didn't have to they're a bunch of optional things like oh
And all these different beaches we had an optional spot a we had an optional wine-tasting day
I feel like if I went to greece. I myself I wouldn't know like what to do
I just be like wandering around kind of so super nice bizarre tori Id adam used to live in Greece
he spoke Greek kids from England but
You know all the good restaurants new directions to everywhere know where to get your taxi everywhere the traveling even college berg was so great
Because I did not do a second of research about things to do increase
I just showed up, and I feel like I literally saw it all
It's just really fun having a huge group of people who are all your age who you?
strangely by the end of the trip has become like
Incredible friends with they're not just saying that like literally two of them before we even less greece booked flights to visit me in La
At the end of july. I'm talking about long time
It's because like I'm actually just still so excited, and I've been like looking up there strips to go on with college break
I'm reloading on Spain probably go back to Europe
I would 100%
use this company like I am not just saying that I like it like I truly love the company imma move on but
Imma say that I really recommend it specifically go to greece. Oh my gosh
It was so much fun like that was the trip of a lifetime, and I'm talking about some really excited
And I'm gonna move on so if you are interested in taking a trip with ef college break
I'm going to have a code in the description box
I believe it is more than 100 you will save $100 on your trip and you gonna have a great time
I don't number three is to google your flight number whenever like I do. It's like good morning
I'm before I get to the airport just google like Delta flight zero seven two three you guys know the point number
But you just type in whatever your flight number is and then it will pull up its status like if it's late
And it's on-time, whatever whatever
But most importantly in why I do this is because it will show the gate number that your fly is at and this is super
Helpful Because I know sometimes when I download my mobile boarding pass it still doesn't show the gay or the terminal and I'm like rolling up
To the airport at my uber, and I need to tell them at terminal to drop me off
You know even when being in the airport?
I check it like religiously
Just making sure my flights still a back gate and excited to be a much simpler and more
Expedited process to see where you're supposed to be going because I don't know. What gate. I don't know like
How much fun is looking at the like Gate monitors?
You know and like standing in that crowd and trying to find your flight as it flashes between screens not much fun
So I would I would google it. I just found that to be something that's really mean
I didn't know that you could even do that until like six months ago
My head number four is to use incognito browsing whenever you are booking a hotel or a flight or anything like that
You're going on your own trip
I know how to do this on the Mac and also try to do it on other computers
Make sure while you're doing this is because flight websites say use cookies in mind all that whatever else on them
to track your like web usage
So if you're going back and looking at the same flights over and over then they know like oh
She's for real like maybe Gonna take this place
It looks like raise the price on her because she's probably gonna book it anyway, so I always browse on Incognito
And then whenever I'm ready to book I go in not income you know
I reveal myself so that I can log in and then I look at there and the prices will probably be cheaper
And that's just trying to you know spend some money
You know, but number five is to get creative when you're packing I said this in last year's travel
I packed video, but I always roll up my clothes other than folding them. I swear to save so much space
Just like tightly rolled them up, and just like stack way more things in your suitcase
I've seen people who put like necklaces in like Little pill
Package things you know I'm cheating on saying that like weekly pill holder put their necklaces in there
So they don't get tangled up. I've seen people put like cords and glasses cases
I'm a little less fancy and I used to plug bags, but I separate everything out
I have my necklaces all separated I have cord separate like everything like that it
Just makes it so much easier when you get to your destination and everything's not all tangled up
So you have shoes that like don't collapse you know I'm saying like certain heels like I don't know if they're for things like that
And stick like socks or underwear or something inside the shoes if the shoes like aren't collapsible
You know that way you're taking up like all the space
and you're being an efficient Packers right number six is to wear your bulky store heaviest items if you're like anywhere coming close to your
Space requirements or the weight requirements of your suitcase so for me?
I guess like the bulkiest shoes I pack on trips always is my ideas those just don't really like collapse much
So I always wear those they're also Super comfortable if I'm packing a sweatshirt
I will wear the sweatshirt or like during the winter
I would always like carry my like bulkiest like
Cardigan or like jacket or whatever it was because I'm not trying to take up half my suitcase with like a bulky jacket
You know such as like a little cheat is just like don't put the big items in the bag put them on you
My tech number seven is to make your suitcase identifiable. I think that's word to me personally
I have a like Carolina blue kind of color Ribbon tied around
The handles my luggage all of our suitcases in my family we have like different like ribbons tied around them and we always just like
Memorize what Color's ours, and then when it comes around the baggage claim. We're all like oh, that's not a food
Oh, that's much everyone in the world at the airport has a black suitcase
And this way if I see somebody walking away with the Carolina blue Ribbon on their suitcase
Oh my oh, no, you still in my bag also
You need to have your contact information on your bag in case who knows what could happen in the world of travel
So I have a sticker on my bag that like I don't know my mom printed it off or something has my name address phone
Number everything like that, so that is my bag leaves me
I can get it back contact number eight is when you're packing in a carry-on
or
just generally packing carry-on size like
Items like small travel sized shampoos and conditioners
And whatever else is to like in between trips rather than going out and buying more of the travel sized?
Toiletry items because those like I mean, they're cheap
They're like a dollar two dollars each
but what you're paying per ounce for that very small bottle it's
So much more expensive than what you'd be paying in a big bottle of shampoo. So why are we doing it? You know
Splurge by the travel times it was like once and then in between trips use your big bottle of Shampoo that used on a daily
Basis and refill that travel sized container, you know I'm saying this is a small thing
But it's going to save me money in the long run and now you don't to be driving back and Forth to Target to repurchase
Your little travel-size tresemme and conditioner so fact number nine is to download Google maps offline. I did this before
I went to greece you can also do this domestically anywhere, you're traveling
It's probably a good idea because that way if you don't have service in a given location you need to map your way to get
Somewhere you're out of luck if you don't have the map downloaded offline
I wasn't sure how my service is going to be increased, so for all the islands
I was going to I just went down one to them
doesn't take much space at all and I'm so really good about knowing they like to be in Greece and
Everything could go wrong back and still get where I'm trying to go you know and five back number ten another small thing
but it can be the difference between a really horrible situation and
Survival to phenix a minute if you always travel with an external charger I have one of those like Little mophie
Cube charger things, and I just plug like my cord into it, and I'll charge on my phone like however many times fully
I had a lot of external chargers because you never know when your phone could die you know you can get stuck with a really?
Long Layover like I did a couple of days ago
And I was really mad and hate American airlines isn't it and so you could be sitting there for four hours longer than you plan?
For and your phone could die and you never know where outlets are going to be you never know if your planes going to have
them so again
This is just like a security blanket type item for me of making me feel a lot more comfortable
Knowing that I am going to have a power source for myself and that is it for this video
