Tips for traveling as a minimalist, on a budget, and with kids!
I like to emphasize that travel is possible without a lot of stuff or money. And now that I have a child I will continue to travel and share my experiences and advice for traveling with a kid.

Take out a front seat and back seats, that gives you around 10 ft
Does anyone know if the baby's passport must be signed by the parents or should we leave it in blank?
Can I pay for expedite at the facility? My husband did this initial form and I don’t know if he’d choosen expedite, but I’d like to expedite it to be extra sure it’s gonna arrive in time.
Very useful, successfully applied for passport for our 2 weeks old baby. Thanks a lot for the clear explanation and examples. The photo hack is just icing on the cake. For us they took the photocopy at the Post office, other than that exactly the same. Thanks again. :)
@@ashiqashiq333 happy to help!
How did you get your birth certificate and passport so fast? 😊
We are not only flying, we are cruising with our toddler and you are giving me so much reassurance and confidence. We are experienced with flying and with cruising. We have two other kids also but they’re teens and we didn’t start until they were school age so I’m so nervous about all the things of doing this with an unpredictable and very independent and strong willed toddler.
Yes flying is just a necessary part of the travel experience. Once you’re through it, you’ll be happy you did it! And remember, all you can do is your best!
@@OurKidTravels that will be my mantra 💖 thanks again! Love your channel.
@@saratullas5509 thank you! Happy travels for you and your family!!
Very helpful, thanks so much!
I dont know why im even here, i dont even have a driver's license.
Looks almost identical to my condo back in Hungary. Same looking neighborhood, trees, concrete buildings, same layout for interior, same type of kitchen and bathroom. Interesting.
U use ur car A/C for sleep all night
Thank you.
super helpful! thank you
I work as a nurse and work for the government. Rent is so expensive that I could only afford in the bad area as a single parent it's hard. So thanks for the tips 🤗
Wow! I didn’t know they sold milk that small and that it could go through the TSA! Thank you 🙏
I have a Chrysler 200 with a similar back seat and trunk, so this is very helpful!
It'll be comfy for me. Yay.
Money order is acceptable too. They’re turning around much faster than the listed time as of June 2024. Don’t have passport photos taken at Walgreens! It was $17 dollars and they didn’t even accept it because it was slightly blurry!
Wonderful shots
I'm 6'5" 😢
You saved me life 😢❤
Thank you! Super helpful.
Do you have to send in your physical passport/identification items with your child’s application, or just photocopies?
The physical items are to show the person at the in-person appointment and the photocopies are sent with the application
@@OurKidTravels thank you! 🙏🏾
Tiny 🤣 you Americans don't know what tiny is
if you get a U.S. passport for your foreign born child, does the foreign mother automatically get to enter the USA ?
I drive a 97 buick lesabre. It feels like a living room and I'm 6 foot. If you had one of these it would be like a luxury suite! I only drive old school American luxury sedans, just incase I have to live in my car. I've had to do it several times. I technically live in my car now. Great video! 👍❤
My wife updated her last name after our wedding. Her maiden name is on our daughter's birth certificate. Which name should we use for the passport application? Her driver's license has her married name. Will this cause any issues with verification? Thanks you
You should not have any issues if you bring your marriage certificate to the in-person appointment. Here is a quote from the travel.state.gov website: "You and your child may have different last names, as long as the document showing your relationship to your child lists your full name. If your name is different than the one on the document showing your relationship to your child, submit proof of your legal name change."
Thank you :)
Happy it helped!
I lived in my truck during the winter for a month. I was lucky that it’s a big vehicle.
Thanks for this breakdown! It's crazy that we still need to send checks to a government agency for this. There are more secure ways to take our money. Efficiency is definitely not the strong suit of US gov agencies.
Great idea! Wandered if you can trim off the "diaphragm" between the trunk and the back seat? So that you can get more space around the waist and hip area, which makes turning easier.
And another tip for people if they want more storage, usually the floor of the trunk unscrews and reveals a little space for your spare tire. If you don't have a spare tire in there it's almost like a second little mini trunk. You can even fit some stuff in there if the tires in there
Tip for your windows. Go to a dollar store and grab big cardboard paper/bristol boards. Hold it up to your window and Trace out and outline of the window. Cut it out with a box cutter or scissors. Then I like to add a duct tape border to each window cut out, this helps them stick in the corners of the window better and also prevents them from ripping plus you can make little adjustments with the tape if it doesn't quite cover every little spot, then you can throw them up in about a minute
Thanks for the tip! I do have a video on How to Make Car Window Privacy Covers | Cheap and Easy DIY kzread.info/dash/bejne/pH6Gz8erkcmzeNY.html
Dollar tree also sells the aluminum foil looking window shade thing. They are flimsy but you can block off all windows for under 10 dollars. I recently tinted my windows though. Only have one decent windshield four thing (mane wtf that shit called?) Lmao I'm stoned af while typing this... 👽
You can also slide the front seats up and fold them down forward maybe not to give you more headroom, but give you some space for your arms to stretch a little haha
I always want to go out and sleep in my car peacefully and enjoy it. I will do it one day
Love the advice/tips as always!
Thanks!
I have birth certificate but not certified copy of it. What should I do? How should I order it or get it certified.. Please answer
You will need a certified copy which you should be able to obtain either online or through your local government office. Google your state name and birth certificate for specific instructions
All cars are different. This dosnt apply to many.
OMG! I forgot my car can pull my backseats forward! Thank you for this video !🥹
I am homeless right now with my husband and dog so this does help a lot still pretty hard for the 3 of us our dogs 60 lbs but we try our best to make it work so thanks for this🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Thank you so much for the information!
SANDWICHES FOR $20?!
2 sandwiches, 2 beers, a salad and a caffeinated drink for $20
It’s healthier to elevate your feet I think
Thank you so much that is so helpful
Travel is the best. Totally agree with you.
If seat not coming like that what we should do ??
You are my hero.
Your very smart! 🎉❤
cute video
I was afraid this wouldn't work in my two door because i figured getting situated would be a pain. But it actually works. I just tested it out. Now i just need to find some stuff to make it comfy.
Hi. Do I have to order a seperate certified birth certificate for the baby or give the birth certificate that I already have and they will return it back?
I tried outting my feet in the trunk but it was too tight tonturn around in and it lets in alot of air. I have a longn4 door sedan Buick that I lay the passenger seat back and I can stretch out fine and Im 6 ft. I work locally butnhave been sleeping in my car for a year now and I love it!! I get a room for the weekemd every month just to sprawl out some lol. I have storage for my stuff and the gym forna shower. I get to enjoy my money more this way and save more. When I pay my car off Im gonna take so close weekend getaways every month.
