I just had a lightbulb moment while watching your video. A little 5 second commercial popped up and I thought “hey I could cut a Mr Clean eraser in half and use it to clean scuff marks on my shoes after walking all day!” That’s the first time I’ve been happy with watching a commercial 😁😄🎉

Instead of a travel steamer, I just take the mister part of a spray bottle. The night before, I hang up my outfit for the next day, mist it with water, and the most of the wrinkles are gone the next day. It’s cheap and takes up almost no room.

I would really have to plan if it was for 14. Whew but way to go

If you are going to Italy, remember no bare shoulders or knees showing in churches or holy places (including the Pantheon, Sistine Chapel, Catacombs, Cappuchin Crypt). This applies to both women and men. Although it's not consistently enforced, I don't take shorts for this reason and make sure my dresses cover my knees. To cover the shoulders, I use a light shawl over sleeveless tops or dresses or wear ones with short sleeves. My husband wears black golf pants instead of jeans because they are lightweight, comfortable, breathable and quick drying and can be worn in fancier restaurants. For tops, he wears Cloud 94 tshirts and polos from Old Navy because they are light weight, breathable, roll up small and don't have logos on them (unlike a lot of athletic wear.) Both of us wear a money belt under our clothes to hold emergency cash, credit cards and passports. We don't access in public and carry a small amount of cash (for gelato, coffee) in our crossbody bags and use our phones whenever possible to pay for things.

@@IrishAnnie I wouldn't call their rules in Italy for dress in churches and holy places "laws" but you may be denied entry or asked to leave if you come in with bare knees or bare shoulders. Some places will tell you to buy a paper coverup from a vendor outside but you can't always count finding one.. Men should not wear hats inside churches either. The last time I was in Rome at St. Peter's , they had a guard at the enterance removing the hats off men as they entered. Enforcement isn't always consistent for no knees or bare shoulders showing but IMHO, it's respectful to follow their rules.

I always love your travel tips. One thing I do is wear more layers than I could possibly need on the plane. Once I am in my seat, I can take off all the things that are too warm for the flight, quickly wrap them in my scarf (pashmina in winter, silk the rest of the time - doubles as a wrap for cooler evenings) and use it as a pillow for the flight. Now that Travelsmith has gone out of business, my favourite pants to pack (except for winter) is LL Bean's Vista Camp Pants. They are very thin, but not that raspy loud 'travel cloth', take up virtually no space, and can wash in the sink and be dry by morning. Zippered pockets too!

For joggers I like Patagonia’s Happy Hike Studio pants. They have front pockets and a zippered back pocket. They are light enough for summer wear. During the winter I wear fleece leggings underneath them. I like that they don’t wrinkle if I just roll them instead of folding them. FIY, Patagonia sells used clothing as well through their worn wear website. When I moved back to the East coast from California (after 27 years) I purchased my winter wardrobe used from worn wear.

Wonderful tips as always Laurie! I completely agree about using the card slots in a travel bag, even if they are rfid protected, & use a small protected wallet as well. I only take 1 physical credit card WITHOUT foreign transaction fees & my debit card just in case I need some last-minute currency. I’ve found that most merchants in Europe that I’ve visited can accept smartphone digital wallet payments-it’s a beautiful thing! Enjoy your River Cruise! I love “taking my hotel w/me” when I travel. 😉

With that I got 21 different outfits that you can play with a scarf or any hair accessories. 😊

@@TravelTipsbyLaurie Hi Laurie, I use a color system to organize my RV travel wardrobe in my limited space clothes cabinet. My spouse and I camp and hike on our excursions, so my basic colors for pants and shorts is black or navy blue. I wear black ,Navy, grey, or white athletic sweaters or jackets. When it comes to tops, I wear grey or white , add a pop of color with jewel tones like pink, teal, purple or a print. I choose fabrics that are wrinkle free and can be washed and dried overnight. I consider the climate/season of our destination; in spring and fall I pack short and long sleeve tops that can be layered. In the summer, I pack tank tops and short sleeve tops. I am prepared for rain with umbrellas, hooded rain jackets and hats. Snow and cold temperatures require boots, gloves and hats. I purchased the compression bags that you suggested to organize my wardrobe, this works great. I am able to hang jackets and place shoes in other areas of my van which is a luxury with van travel, but I still must be mindful of limited space and weight limits due to the fact that we also carry food, water, fuel, kitchen supplies, bath supplies, towels, camp tools, etc. We also carry empty backpacks which can be used on a hike or to pack a set of clothes if we must leave our van due to an unexpected breakdown. I am looking forward to more of your suggestions. Safe and happy travels in 2024.

If I wear jeans, I leave them out of the cube. I pack my nightgown or pajamas in a separate cube. I organize this way to allow for a choice according to my activities for the day and the weather. I like to have a few extra options available. My husband essentially has a similar packing system. A friend of mine uses ziplock bags to organize her and her spouse’s underwear, shirts and socks. One bag for each of them for each day of the trip. He usually wears the same color T-shirt , underwear and socks daily. Works for him, not me. I understand that packing an entire outfit in one cube may decrease decision fatigue for some activities such as beach trip, dinner at a special restaurant, attending a play, but for our low key van travel, my system works for me.

There is a good brand of shoe inserts called Currex. I think they are more designed for running shoes, but I interchange them between my normal walking shoes and my running shoes. They are great for those of us with little to no arches. I wore them in my New Balance and Addidas shoes all through NYC. They aren’t cheap, but they are so worth it and pay you back with blister-less feet.

As an American who lived in Europe for years, know that the weather changes at the drop of a hat. Always be prepared, and dress accordingly, and, have a portable umbrella with you at all times. American tourists are easily recognized in Europe because they wear their sunglasses on top of their heads. Funny but true. Also, they're very loud. Thankfully, I lived there long enough to learn what not to do! An update on traveling with meds. On 03/08/2024, USA Today issued a travelers report. The TSA, both domestic and foreign, have started confiscating meds. The TSA has now said all meds must be kept in their original, marked containers. Our meds are not even guaranteed in carry-on's. I strongly recommend reading this article/report. I've commented on this before; however, this is the first time seeing an actual report/warning in a newspaper. My guess is they're looking for controlled substances, to be sure they're legally prescribed, though the article doesn't specify this.

Hello my dear friend I'm Wilson from Brazil Rio de janeiro ❤❤❤❤

I ordered those stripped pants from Amazon per your recommendation. I ordered up one size, and they fit great! Thanks for this recommendation, as it is hard for me to find pants that fit!❤

Hi, it is in the first comment and the paragraph below this video. Blue blouse.

I love the AB Solutions pants! There are so many great packable rain jackets out there. Wouldn't you pack a swimsuit or warmer coat? I suppose it depends on the part of Europe you're visiting.

I find ligh layers work better than bringing a big coat. Specially in summer and spring. I have a hooded raincoat that is also a windbreaker. With a few layers underneath my jacket I can stay pretty warm.

True-there would be a swimsuit. And yes, you can use that same hack with a winter coat as well.

i just love yall folks who can fit 14 days worth of clothes in a carry on.Yeah....that would be my shoes, toiletries and undergarmets, and PJ's ONLY.

Your tips have been very helpful. Why do you pack with carry on only? I can understand if it's a quick weekend trip? I know some airlines allow one checked bag, and I also understand that people don't like to wait around...

Hi, since we mostly fly standby, if we delayed the flight because they had to find our bags from the belly of the airplane since there were no seats for us, we would get in major trouble.

What brand? Where is the link? Thanks

Good morning. I bought the 14 inch Lovevook bag to fit under the seat on a flight with Air France. I am nervous. Do you think that it will be small enough? Thank you for all of your information. I love your videos.

Laurie - question about cashmere. I read that it does not have to be washed after every wearing. Do you find that to be true? They say 3-4 wearings (on skin, not over a shirt) and then wash. What do you think?

@TravelTipsbyLaurie

2 ай бұрын

I would believe it if a true cashmere. I wear mine over shirts when traveling. For short spurts at home I wear it by itself. But I take mine to the cleaners. Do not get them from M⭐️cys because theirs were super itchy.

Great tips! Do you ever travel for visits to museums, cathedrals and dinners in upscale restaurants? What do you include for elevating the look somewhat?

@liss2503

I always bring a large light weight scarf. You can use it as a cover up for the places that require more modest outfits. Not that I need that I stay pretty covered up from the sun. I also will bring a smaller scarf to wear and dress up an outfit for more formal occasions. With all the weight restrictions on luggage a large and a smaller scarf can be your best friends while traveling.

@jenharvey8360

2 ай бұрын

A thin silk scarf or two are perfect for elevating any outfit, and take up virtually no space in your bag. Look on KZread, there are thousands of videos showing all sorts of clever ways to tie silk scarves. Note: you will NOT get the same effect with "silk-like" polyester scarves, it's worth paying a bit more to get genuine silk.

Hi, it's at the bottom of the list of links by the umbrella one.

Hi Laurie! Been enjoying your helpful videos as the hubs and I plan a trip to Rome! Bought the "Loveook" brand of backpack from Amazon (that you suggested in a different video) and just gave it a trial run in CA this past weekend. It kept me organized and fit perfectly under both the center & aisle seats! I love that it's got the "north/south" design vs "east/west." Question for you: do you purchase travel insurance as a non rev? I never have before, but considering the state of the world, am seriously contemplating the purchase. Let me know your thoughts. Thanks a bunch!

I love your travel tips. I so wish that Ecco shoes worked for me, but after buying and returning several different styles, I have determined that they just don’t work for my feet. They are so cute, but those blush sneakers sit too low on the back of my heel.

@@TravelTipsbyLaurie I do like DSW, and sometimes I can find shoes there. I recently bought a pair of hoka running shoes that you featured in a video and they are super comfortable. Just not as stylish looking as those Eccos., lol.

The wide-leg pants are so cute on you! Unfortunately, they always look like pajama pants on me. I need to experiment more with them because they look so comfortable and put together (on you anyway)! The smell of Downy wrinkle spray gives me a migraine so I can't use it. I have an unscented one called Real Simple that works great, but I don't think it's available anymore. Cold Iron also has an unscented spray with some pretty good reviews. It will be next for me to try when mine runs out.

I know this is a very niche request but do you have any tips, tricks, recommendation or anything at all for a month long business training trip? I might have to fly to Colorado for training on this new job and they said the training is a month long. I do not know the specifics yet, like airline or if i have to pay for a check in bag or anything at all. But i do want to keep it simple and have just a carry on, is that even possible? I am very anxious specially because i dont know any specifics of it yet. To anyone curious, it is a federal job and i am just in the process of background check and all that jazz before i begin training.
