Create a Life you Love.
Hi, I'm Annie! I'm a So-Cal based elder-millennial whose biggest budget item is travel. I've been to five continents, thirteen countries, and 39 US states. I have a goal to see all 50 states before I'm 40 - and I'll see continents 6 and 7 in the next year.
I'm not a travel influencer or digital nomad. I have a full time, demanding corporate job that I love. I love the stability it provides. I love the people I work with. I love the work I do. And yes, I love the big corporate paycheck that comes with it.
Even with a full-time job, I find time to travel 30% of the year. Whether for work or fun, I have figured out how to maximize my resources so I can feed my travel addiction.
My goal at Average Girl is to share what I've learned and help you create a life you love. Because the life you want to live is totally possible - but you have to go after it and make it a reality.

This was very helpful and full of great ideas!! Thanks for sharing 🩷
I’m so glad!!! Thanks for watching!
A toothpick
You’re the first to say that one!
Very informative video. My wife’s ticket is booked without a middle name. Any idea if Qatar would be okay if middle name is missing on the boarding pass but it’s on the passport.
I would think that would be okay. You might want to check just in case!
Valium!!!!
😂😂😂
I feel like I've never seen a baby gorilla this size before.
That looks like a mind your own business d
Great
I didn’t even know this service existed. Great to know.
That engagement anecdote! 😮 Thank you for giving us a virtual tour of your trip.
Gum,tissues.are needed too.
Earplugs & a travel blanket! Sometimes you want to sleep or even just read and all the noise on a plane is too much, so earplugs really help! Also, sometimes the plane is extra cold or again you want to sleep and a small travel blanket really helps!
Great options!
I'd bring some hand sanitizer and a disposable N95 mask. Might not need it, but you never know.
Medication and supplements always go into my carry on bag.
Yes!!! Too many people forget to keep their medication with them.
Wish more people followed these tips. Thanks for the video!
Me too! Thanks for watching!
Sounds like a dream trip. Good tips!
Here are some items I use that weren’t on your list. A small tablet for entertainment 8~10 inches. I bring my own wired earbuds with decent noise isolation they work with the tablet an in flight entertainment system. Several moderately priced earbuds have a seal that work as well or better than common earplugs and doesn’t drain my batteries. Pocket tissues (dry air irritates my sinuses). Hard candy or throat drops (the dry air irritates my throat), gum. Water bottle. “hygiene” wipes because airplane TP sucks. Hand sanitizer. A buff (can be used as an eye mask, headband, neck warmer, beanie, etc..), mini flashlight, spare flashlight battery, lighter. Compression socks. Slip-on shoes or athletic shoes with elastic laces making them slip-on. prescription glasses & case. Today’s dose of vitamins & meds, I take them with food so it helps to have them handy when get bite at the airport or when I eat my protein snack. Tweezers and nail clippers. When I don’t bring them I wind up needing them. A couple doses of Benedryl and some ant-acid, just in case.
That’s a great list!
Leave the gorillas alone! There's only about a thousand left.
1063 at most recent census, up from 242 in 1981, thanks to people coming to visit the gorillas! Gorilla tourism is actually a success story - because people pay to come see gorillas, the governments have taken steps to protect them from poachers and to expand their habitats after so much has been lost to farming. Permits are strictly controlled - less than 100 people are allowed to visit gorillas a day in Rwanda, at a cost of $1500 per person. The money goes into conservation and the local communities. Highly recommend visiting gorillafund.org to learn more!
Total cost?
The trip itself was $12,000, all inclusive except for flights.
@@averagegirldoescoolthings was there a specific site you dealt with to organize everything?
I typically travel through World Playground (worldplayground.co) They organized this trip!
That punch connected 😂
😂 love the little tap you got lol
Thanks so much for sharing your amazing experience🙏 This has always been my dream trip and still is; I truly hope to experience the beautiful and majestic mountain gorillas myself one day 😊 I enjoyed watching your vlog; thanks for providing us with the necessary insight as to what to expect. It was great to see each day unfold. Much love from South Africa 🇿🇦 ❤
I hope you get to go! And thank you for your kind feedback ❤️
@@averagegirldoescoolthings I really hope so too 🙏 Thanks very much 🤗💗
DFW would not allow me in to the Centurion lounge with my Delta AmEx platinum 2 weeks ago. I was surprised! Not sure that card will be worth keeping now.
Interesting. I’m not familiar with the Delta version. Has it worked in the past?
Woow
So,... you had me hooked at the sweatshirt that just happens to be from Whitefish Montana, where we owned our vacation home, and is next to Glacier National Park with no WiFi !! And, our son flys for United, where your hand sanitizers came from!
No way!!!! I just went there in July and fell in LOVE with Whitefish! I would love to have a cabin there. And I fly United all the time! Are your sons single? 😂
I have never downloaded movies. I don't watch anything on my phone BUT I have a Lenovo with a sim card that has pretty much all of the movies I ever want to watch.
That’s a great idea!
That little spin is cute
Soo cute
That little gorillas throwing himself around and around in circles so cute
He was showing off for sure! Adorable
I swear the happiness I feel when 😍 @ #Niceshopx😍 uploads a video is beyond!!!!
Pepto bismuth is known to ‘cure’ stomach issues and I travel with a full complement of tabs. Thankfully, I’ve only had water poisoning in two places: Bavaria and Ohio, USA. Neither time was I aware of the pink tabs. Won’t catch me away from home without them.
Agreed! ALWAYS bring the Pepto!!!!
Hand lotion. No rinse face wipe. Extra earplugs for the nice man who put your luggage in the overhead bin twice, because you forgot something. Throw away pair of socks for the lady wearing pantyhose who can smell her own feet, after she removed her shoes, but thinks you can’t. Silk scarf that covers eyes and mouth (possibly open while sleeping) and hides any inadvertent drooling. 😊
So many good ideas! I need to replace my hand lotion…
I cruise a lot, and have found that my kindle is a lifesaver on planes, in airports, on cruise sea days by the pool, and to get me to sleep at night.
I definitely need to get a kindle!
I wanted to ask you for your advice because i've been struggling to get my first client and I don't know what to do. I updated my profile I set up adds and I've put the lowest prices available and I can't get any clients. Do you have any advice for me to help out?
Have you asked friends or family to leave you reviews? You can send them a link to ask. I also would recommend setting your price at a mid point, not the lowest. People are willing to pay for a good sitter, and by pricing yourself at the bottom you may be signaling that you don’t provide the same quality as others. Also, make sure you’re highlighting why your care is special. For me, I have experience watching anxious dogs and I only take one dog at a time. I get a lot of clients specifically looking for their dog to be the only one being watched. Hope that helps, good luck!
@@averagegirldoescoolthings how long did it take you to get your first client?
It was within the first two weeks. I’m also in a high demand market so that helps.
@@averagegirldoescoolthings what does high demand market mean?
I live in a city with a lot of pet owners.
From Rwanda I love you so much ❤
Awwww❤

NOOOOO don't fo that 😡😡😡
Buying a luxury bag is the stupidest investment. I personally don't think it's worth spending so much money on a bag. It is better to invest in gold. Of course I also like those big-name bags. But I couldn't bear to give up the money. So all my bags are replicas of H Q D U P S.
I’d rather spend my money on travel than a fancy bag!
My kindle and my fav tea !
I love the idea of bringing your favorite tea!
Easy explanation, thank you so much😊
Heat patches so if you get that unexpected period with bad cramps , you stick it on your tummy area and all the pain fixed warm always helps period cramps
I looooove that idea! That would be so soothing.
Heat patches are handy to have instead of deep heat as well for other muscle aches.
Also good for sore backs
@@franreynolds2008 That's how I found them. Used them daily at one time.
Great advice! I don’t understand why people wear sandals and flip flops when traveling. I will not be carrying them across the jet fuel in my closed toe shoes! And shorts, just no. I think you covered everything. I have to have my water bottle and mints or gum for my ears during take off and landing. I bring my Kindle also.
Oh my gosh yes! The shorts!!!! On airplane seats 😬 No thank you.
All great advice!
Thank you!
Rwanda we love you so much❤❤❤
Love Rwanda so much!!!
Great tips! The sneakers just makes sense and yet nobody’s ever mentioned it except you! I would absolutely wear sneakers 100% I don’t understand people who wear flip-flops on a plane!🤷♀️😳
Thank you!!! I genuinely don’t think people think about the safety side of travel enough. Flying in a big metal tube is a miracle we take for granted!
I do all that except for the headphones! (I’m deaf). In case I missed you mentioning it, I ALWAYS bring an empty water bottle. I fill it up after TSA. And I bring a change of clothes. You never know and yes I needed them once.
Yes to the water bottle!!! And change of clothes is a great idea too - I bring one on international flights when I check my main bag. Dumb but maybe educational question/answer - is there anything you DO bring on a flight as a deaf-person accommodation? Ive never thought about that perspective and I’m curious what differences you experience!
@@averagegirldoescoolthings hmmmm I can’t think of anything. The only thing I do different is pre-board and tell the attendants I’m deaf. Well, I do bring my batteries and dry pack. A dry pack is what you put your hearing aid in while you sleep at night. It gets rid of the moisture.
Ooo that’s interesting! I never heard of a drypack. Thanks for teaching me something new!
lol will now fly with sneakers forever after..
Happy to have scared you into sense 😂😂😂
i bring my books
Definitely a good idea!
I always have a Tide pen, hand lotion, eye drops and Advil ….arthritis insists on traveling with me no matter where I go. 😂
All good ideas! And Hand lotion! Yes! Mine ran out, thanks for the reminder ☺️
@@averagegirldoescoolthingsthe three things i'd add would be a nail clip and file and an extra invisibobble scrunchie for my curly hair. Great video, new follower here, greetings from Rhodes in the aegean.
An extra hair tie is a definite must! Adding one to my bag right now. Thanks for subscribing, I’m happy you’re here!
I have lip balm, hand lotion, gum, toothbrush, toothpaste, eye drops.
@@arosete3512 eye drops, I need to add those! ☺️
