Thank you so much! I was wondering about the baby nail clippers, I have kind of thick nails, so I’m wondering if they would go through my nails. Do you find that they work just as well as regular nail clippers and did they slip out of your fingers?

Thank you for sharing what's in your latest bum bag! Other than your multitool with the removable blade and the thin foldable glasses, I pretty much carry the same items in my edc. My only suggestion is that you put your extra facemask in a plastic cover of some sort (preferably a sealed one) since you put it in the same pocket as your cash. Bills exchange hands A LOT and you can't really disinfect them. Having them next to something you'll be putting in direct contact with your face is a big "No" for me.

Hi Eunice, thank you for this video. I have a “hack” that I used in my last trip to Oahu. I placed several important items (pen, collapsible glass, extra ear phones, mints and gum, tiny toothbrush and chewing toothpaste, reusable utensils) in a reusable large silicone bag that I put in my personal bag. Once in the plane I put the whole bag in the little space above the table. The important stuff (AirPods, ID, cash) where inside my jacket (which I never took off). The bag hack was a suggestion by another traveler.

I have done that with several different Altoid's kits. The best thing is that they are also stackable. It is amazing how much stuff you can cram in there.

The the only con of the Altoisd kit is the added weight of the metal, other than that, it's great.

Apart from just being nice and helping out, you do not want to be stuck next to someone who was sick and couldn't make it to the bathroom! Along the same lines, this summer two ladies were kicked off an Air Canada flight because they didn't want to sit in their seats that someone on a previous flight had thrown up all over and it hadn't been cleaned up! It had all hardened overnight. Gross! While that was probably an isolated incident, I now have one of those cheapie disposable rain ponchos in my personal item bag, just in case!

Even though there is a small set of tweezers in that Swiss army card tool, is it really necessary to carry another set of tweezers?

That’s actually a great question! Regarding the tweezers, the one in the multitool is OK, but I find if I really need to get a grip on something, I like a better set of tweezers. Also regarding the screwdriver set in the multitool again it’s OK and may do it in a pinch especially for flathead, but they don’t really fit in to those glasses if you need to screw the glasses in also the multitool that I carry with the blade has a much better Phillips head point on it.

Got a question for you Eunice- when you travel especially to other countries, do you use the in room safe to store passports and other important items? Thanks and Blessings!

@TheoryofSimple

7 ай бұрын

Great question. And the answer is it depends on where I’m staying for how long and what I brought along with me as well as how big the safe is. I usually don’t travel with very much jewelry so it wouldn’t go in there cause I’m usually wearing it. However, if I do bring a lot of jewelry like I did for my son’s wedding in India, I definitely locked it up in the safe.. that being said, there are so many people in the hotel that have access to that safe that it could technically still get stolen. That’s why sometimes I will put things in my aircraft aluminum luggage and lock that up and then I use a cable lock to lock my luggage to something solid in the actual hotel room. This way, I can put things like my laptop and my camera gear and electronics in there if I feel that I’m not in a very safe situation that being said, I have had those hotel safes break twice on me where I couldn’t get into it and my passport was inside and I had to fly out and it was a bit of a scramble to get somebody from the management team up to the hotel to get my passport out for me. So generally, I keep everything locked up in my luggage and that way I know I’m not going to forget anything in the safe.😊

Careful of putting necessary items in a jacket pocket. I left my jacket on accident at security and thank goodness I didn’t have important stuff in it. I use a rfid waist belt small and concealed.

@TheoryofSimple

8 ай бұрын

The thing is you still have to take off that waist belt and put it in a bin to go through x-ray, and I’m more than likely would forget something small like that rather than a vest or jacket. Plus you just have to be always cognizant of where you are most important items are I don’t like leaving my phone, my wallet, and my passport in a bin by itself or anyone could just see and walk off with it I’d rather be concealed with a jacket or vest😊
