My golden rule of traveling is a hoodie on every plane even if it's 100 degrees out 😂 Planning my first trip to Europe next year and this is so helpful!!

I use my flip flops as slippers when I’m on vacation. Saves having to bring an extra pair of footwear.

Yes and then they can double as pool shoes and shower shoes.

I love this format even more than a "pack with me." Its so helpful!

I am from greece and am sohappy that you had a splendid time in my country. I watch your videos so many years that you are practically my friend!

The pic you popped up of your fancy dress at the wedding was gorgeous! Both you and Tyler looked amazing ❤

Thank you so much!! We had so much fun!!

I would love to see a video of you and Tyler, sharing how you pay and budget for all your travel expenses. Do you use certain credit cards with points, travel apps or what do you recommend? I’m trying to plan a European vacation next year and would love any money saving tips you would be willing to share. I know Tyler owns a travel agency so I’m sure he’s more in the know than most of us. Thank you for any words of wisdom 🥰 Love you and have watched your videos for close to 8yrs!❤️🥰

Yes!

I always pack in a color scheme so that everything works together. All black and white, or brown and beige, etc. Bottoms in black/white/a black and white print/ same with tops. It works and is easy. I try to vary skirts/pants/shorts and solids and prints of tops also different textures and pieces that can be layered or worn more dressy or more casually.

Yea! Those hand held fans are a lifesaver! I used mine quite a bit last summer in France. Several times we were squashed in like sardines in over crowded trains, standing room only, and boy oh BOY was it heaven to have that little fan blowing air in my face. I don’t take the heat well, but I managed to stay alive with the help of my fan :D

@pixiemcq9621

I would rather pack all my fans than most of my clothes, always end up wearing the same things!😂

Yes, hydration for all no matter the trip is a must. High elevation, temps, different diets, illness, so many reasons!

My favorite purses for travel are Travelon because they are washable, slash-proof, and can easily be fastened to a chair or table in public places. I gave up cute bags for travel (business & personal). My second fave is a Baggalini: it's washable & dries overnight, has pockets inside and out, same can be stuffed into personal my item. Travelon is on clearance sale. The entire line was redesigned to upgrade anti-theft & other features. Happy & safe travels!

Jessica I’m 22 but you’re truly my favorite KZreadr and I just love you and your sweet fam so much. I hope you know how loved and appreciated you are here on KZread 🩷 God bless! 🤗 Can’t wait to watch as usual 😄

Love the SPF powder tip for the scalp!! I shared that with all my associates (I work at Ulta) to share with our guests! We’re in Orlando and always have guests from the parks this will benefit!!!!! ❤

I consider myself a relatively seasoned traveler, but i always appreciate these types of videos. Thanks for putting this up! ❤

This is going to sound so niche, but I’ve been watching you since I was in college. You are my comfort creator!! I moved out of my childhood home a year ago and ever since I turn on your videos when I feel like my house is too quiet😂 it feels like I’m on FaceTime with you! Even y’all’s older vlogmas I watch too! Specifically when I’m taking a shower because I feel like there’s someone in the house with me so I don’t feel as nervous😂😂😂 trust me I know how wild that sounds but it’s true! Long story short I love you Jess!!!

Awww this means so much to me!!

I’m packing for Italy next week what perfect timing!!

I just it back from cruising the Med as well. *** Good walking sandals are a must. I wore linen dresses and they really help keep you cool. I also agree with your recommendation for the hand-held fan. What a life saver!

A little packing hack I use (on road trips not flights) is bringing an over the door hanging hooks. I got a cheap on from Target years ago and it’s great to hang damp towels on.

In a see of influencers that are not disclosing as per FTC you are a breath of fresh air, I trust you above all other You Tubers! Not all your recommendations work for me (different skin type, different tastes sometimes)but I know you are honest and that's rare nowadays! ❤

I would love to see all your makeup and skincare that you packed in your bags, what you pqcked in your carryon because you can only have limited stuff up in the air and how you did your everyday makeup while on holiday and especially if you didn't have much time before going out. Love your videos, you're my favourite makeup KZreadr because you're so relatable 😊

The leg sling is my favorite airplane hack!!! Helps me feel way less sore after a long flight

Brilliant! An unpacking video is so useful! My take is that the viewer is watching a trusted creator from fresh off a trip who can really give some great tips/ suggestions/stories because they just lived it, whereas a Pack With Me is useful too, but more fun to just watch even if no trip is planned 😂

It's always interesting to me to listen to how stylish people pack. I just count the number or bottoms and tops i'll need (considering how many times the bottoms will be repeated), and if the items are comfortable and durable. Matching will happen while getting dressed in the morning 😅

This was so much great information. As a veteran traveler to Europe, I still learned more than a few things. Thank you for sharing!

Well isn’t this the most clever video idea. Thanknyou for helping me get ready for some upcoming trips. Love love love this!

Totally agree about the fan!! I went to London and Paris a few weeks ago. It was only on the low 70’s but boy I wished I hadn’t forgotten the fan especially with lack of AC and crowds on the street and metro.

Omg I've never been so early!!!! Hi Jess I'm so excited to hear about this trip!

I just went to Italy to Venice, Milan, Florence, Rome, Naples Sicily amalfi, & ALL OF THIS IS INCREDIBLY ACCURATE HOW I FEEL. if your someone who watched this and sees this comment. Trust jess. Enough said.

i got heatstroke as a child in italy in the summer. had to go to the hospital. the heat is no joke! these are great travel tips, Jess, thank you ❤

I went on a Med cruise in June,too. I bought five of the same knit dress, different patterns, to wear with bike shorts and tennis shoes. That was the smartest thing ever! Also, I highly recommend the neck fans. It’s nothing extra to carry. Hey, I live in Indy, too!

Jessica Braun you are a joy in this world.

Great idea for the powder sunscreen on the scalp!

Perfect timing! Looking for something to watch! Love your content!

This was so so helpful. Thank you so much for sharing!❤

Couldn’t have been more timely. We’re going Rome and Greece cruise this summer! Thank you for the recommendations!!!

Can’t wait to hear all about the trip! We are going on a similar trip to Rome and a cruise to Greece next May, so this was so helpful!

Extremely helpful tips and ideas! Thanks! Love your content always!🎉

So helpful - thank you! I am heading to Greece the first week of July and will definitely use some of your tips!

I will gladly watch this again. ♥️♥️♥️

Great video, thanks for sharing! Another good sandal is the Sketchers foamies sandals. Sooo comfy, lighweight. 10/10!

really, the most useful video I've seen recently preparing to my own trip!

I always ❤ your outtro music! So nice compared to an abrupt video end. So cheerful!

Your hair looks so good styled like this. I love it. Also, you went to my bucket list place (Greece, Rome and Italy!) glad you had a great time 😊

i’m literally going to greece and italy this weekend so this video is perfect timing!!

I just returned from Europe and agree with so much of this! I am still in search of the perfect toiletry bag and am adding your new one to my list.

This video was extremely entertaining and very informative. Really loved the unpack with me style and insight into what you actually used and didn’t. Would love more of this format on your upcoming travels. Also, have a 2 years old so thanks for including the kiddos items. 😊

When you brought out your new favorite toiletry bag I was like YES! I have one exactly like it by the brand Lug. I have it in two sizes and absolutely LOVE it!

Very helpful video! Also wanted to mention that Hawaiian Tropic makes an spf powder for half the price of the Super Goop (although it doesn't come in different shades), I've been really liking it.

Greece is the word in this world. I'd luv to go back there. Everyone was so friendly and helpful.

This was such a helpful video. Much better than a What Im Packing ahead of time. 👏 Thank you!

Sounds like an amazing trip! We love Italy! Greece is on our bucket list. Thanks for an excellent video. I’m a chronic over packer. 😜

Oh jesss!! Missed you! Lived watching your insta for the trip you were stunning as always!

I just got home from a domestic vacation yesterday… Just here within the United States… So this was really interesting and fun to watch…… Like all your videos always are. Very comforting very relatable. So glad you guys had a wonderful vacation and I can’t wait for the video where you chat about it more!☺️☺️❤️

Love your hair in this video! 😍 Always love ya and watching your videos!

I’m sure folks have said this but there are spray sunscreens specifically for your scalp Sunbum has one.

Love all your videos. You are are so real.

haven’t even watched yet and i would love you to do a video like this every time you travel, they’re my favourite!

this is perfect timing

I’m going on my first cruise in January and really appreciate these types of vids. Taking notes

You are absolutely glowing in all the photos you shared 🩷

I also printed sudoku and crosswords for our trip this summer! I have the oasis too so I’m glad to hear the pouch fit that size kindle and I can put my puzzles and pencil in it too!!!

What a breath of fresh air. An American saying she didn’t use her water bottle because she just bought water out and about. Al of these TikTok videos of Americans lately who claim Europeans must be dehydrated because we don’t have any water, it was starting to baffle me. Sure we might not carry a gallon water bottle everywhere, including going grocery shopping, but yeah, we do drink it. All day every day 😂

Thought the EU was anti single use plastic. Reusable water bottle will be the way I go when I visit Greece. Will buy one there as a souvenir. Would not pack one.

Helpful info, thank you. I'll use some ideas for summer vacation!

I love this kind of video thank you thank you thank you! We went on our first Disney Cruise 10 years ago and I so overpacked! I made a list of what I actually used on that trip and I still use it to this day because you forget between trips what you used and what you didn’t use!

This was lots of great info! Thank you!

Love these unpacking videos! Hindsight is 20/20 😊

Thanks for sharing. That was really helpful for me since I have a trip coming up to Italy in September🙏🙏

I love packing vlogs!!! ❤❤❤

I recently got back from a European cruise and walked miles and miles in my Tevas. The new slim line ones. They really saved me! Wore the heck out of my jean jacket as it was cooler in the mornings/evenings. Also, I got a sling bag specifically for this trip and it was perfect. Kept my stuff close, and was convenient to get in and out of. Shawl is a must, just so many uses. I agree with bringing a small fan!!

Scalp burn is real! I am olive skinned and dark hair i never had it before until recently i experienced it one day it was really hot afternoon i have covered my body and face but neglected my scalp. Omg it hurt. Upf sunhats and upF shawls from coolibar are great

Headed to Europe for 2 weeks very soon so this is so perfect thank you!

I'm so happy you've done this video!! I'm about to do an Italy/Greece trip in Sept!!

An alternative to the slipper socks, I always travel with rubber flip flops to wear in my hotel room, and I also wear them in the shower. Sounds crazy but I also get grossed out by standing barefoot in a hotel shower! So they serve two purposes. I always travel with a shawl, just so handy to have💖

Haha this is just the content I enjoy. It’s always interesting to reflect on what you use vs what you brought. I also just came back from a trip and I thought I packed light but actually, I could’ve packed a whole lot less.

Your eye makeup is beautiful in this video. Lovely application!

I sweated so much in India I didn't really have to pee very often. I would drink water, but immediately I was sweating! That is a very good tip about the hydration packets!

ooh, I love love love my travel foot sling. I'm also pretty short so it's a MUST for me!!

So helpful and interesting. Great information. You are a joy to listen to.

I recently bought a UPF-50 coverup hoodie from Land’s End. It’s just enough to help you if there’s a chill, but not overly heavy, and because it’s thin, it doesn’t take up much space. (It’s kind of a rashguard material)

Love love love this! Especially because it’s long…😊

I took the Beis Sports Sling as my bag for a similar trip and LOVED it!!!!! I just bought a plastic bottle and the bag has a water bottle pouch, which was so convenient. Fit my kindle, phone, cards, sunglasses, and more. Definitely recommend!

Hi Jessica love your videos thank you so much ! WELCOME HOME ❤ Watching you from Napoli 🇮🇹

I have the J Crew Factory dress! Love it!

Loved this video!

Great information, thank you Jessica

We are going to Europe in the fall so thank you for these great ideas!

Loved this video ❤❤❤❤❤

😊 great tips!

Jessica... the sudoko puzzles... I feel seen! 😂 I always pack these along with a mechanical pencil (because I'm not brave enough with jet lag to do them in pen 😂). I buy the puzzle books and mechanical pencils from the dollar store. I bet the 1 euro stores have them, too. I just leave the books and pencils in a pocket of my carry on so they're always there. Great mental exercises to keep you a bit more alert when traveling. Oh and greetings from upper left USA 🙂

Im bummed that where you went in Italy wasn't very stroller friendly which means someone like me who uses a wheelchair would have a really hard time too. It sounds like an amazing trip anyway. Loving your recommendations!

Hi Jessica, welcome home. 😊When we first went to Europe, a million years ago, I saw a lot of the women wearing nicer leather shoes/loafers. But now when I go to Europe, all the women tend to be wearing high end or at least very decent sneakers. So I think your, comfortable shoe recommendation is spot on. They may be wearing a business suit or a designer jeans, but they wear them with sneakers, because everybody walks a lot. I love those slings for the kids. That is such a cool idea. I also recommend either a neck fan or a handheld fan honestly for every woman over 50. Ha ha. Or for anyone going to a climate which might be the same or hotter than your own. They’re nice to have as you say, also because many buildings or restaurants don’t have a/c (or it’s not on as cool as setting as we may be used to in the states). I would also recommend just knowing that you can lift your baggage and carry it for a while if needed, because many hotels and air bnbs don’t have lifts in them.

I have that same bath bag in a different design and also love it! I feel like the search is officially over.. Also, super helpful video, even more so that a 'pack before the trip'. I'm about to look up the neck pillow for a flight from Australia to the US later in the year 😍x

I found this video really helpful. It's nice to see what you found useful and what you didn't end up using. I would love to see a full video of your girl's luggage, what was useful for them, and what didn't get used. 😀

Great video! I’m amazed that you took those long flights with 2 little kids! We just took a Disney cruise / 3 hour flight with my 18 month old and it was rough 🥲 I watched all the videos to prepare and packed all the snacks and activities… didn’t go well lol we literally cancelled our January Hawaii trip bc I don’t want to be stuck on a plane for 6 hours 😂
