@@TravelTipsbyLaurie They think it was the two American "college students" who approached while my parents were at the ATM. The were super helpful until they weren't. They must have seen him put the wallet in his cargo pants pocket because when they got back to the hotel it was gone. Not sure if he zipped or buttoned it. He has since passed and I can't ask.
Thanks as this was very helpful. I sometimes forget about my husband’s travel wardrobe. Going to Europe in August so will use these tips then. Love the Cosco and Kohl’s reference 😂 How true!
Hi Laurie, You are so astute on knowing what to wear to travel and to travel in certain cities so you don’t stick out in a crowd. You’re a great resource. Thanks for the tips. Happiness, Teresa.
NO WAY!!! Are you staying on the beach or in a nearby town? It's BEAUTIFUL! And so moving. I had no idea all the mistakes made that day. Have a great time. Thank you for watching!
Thank you for the video. I would love more information on the Merrell shoes that you show. I’ve been looking all over for that style. I would appreciate that very much! 🙏🏽👟
A tip from me, (living in Germany) to avoid pickpocking: you have to watch/observe other people, especially young males. Many times you can see how two or three of them are following you and talk about you. That happened so often to me and my friend in big cities like Rome, Paris etc. If you are on a trip with some friends you may point out one, who is „protecting“ the bags, while the others are buying tickets or reading the map. A story what happened in France: a lady has left all her bags with wallet and passport in our tourbus and a thief run into the open bus and took it all, her friends were somewhere else.....
I've heard that. 4 guys and a mom were together in Paris, but I had been watching them...then they asked me to take their pic. I freaked but did it. It ended up being fine. Thank you for watching!
Thanks for the tip! I also found that the Pants that zip off at the knee is great for travel too! The material is the same as the short you were telling us all about.
You do not need too much as you always can wash it or there is VERY CHEAP clothing shops in England (if you go there too) where you can find some dirt cheap and still OK for 'emergency buy'.
I would say no. I usually leave mine in the safe in the hotel. I think you are supposed to carry ID with you in most European countries. Being British we usually don't. If you go into visitor attractions and have an audio guide they often want ID as security it accept driver's licence or credit/debit card
Thank you, I have 40 years of flying experience, planes travel above my head, I stay in Santacruz which is near Juhu beach and am half hour far from Arabian Sea, It is in Mumbai, Maharashtra India. I always wanted Travel Agencies to tell us these tips but they are busy. Only busy people travel Air, Your videos are make us comfortable. I will continue writing to you.
Just make sure the clothes are clean lol. I'm sure they will wear dirty undies at some point, but who would know. Vans were super uncomfortable fyi. The teen guy who was with us told us that. Download the airline's app because that's where entertainment systems are for some airlines. Have such a wonderful time!!!
Nice to see a guy video. But please tell me why you wouldn't leave your passport in your locked safe on a cruise or in a hotel. I never carry my passport since I don't need it except to board the plane. That way your don't have to worry about losing it at all. Thank you.
Thanks! It really depends on where we are for the day and what kind of hotel we are in. If no safe, he usually takes them in his front pocket or the belt.
I leave my passport in my locked suitcase in my room but take a photocopy of it in my day bag. If you get hurt or need identification for some reason, the copy will suffice.
Lovely to see a gent modelling. On the subject of pick pockets. We have encountered them 3 times on public transport. They seem to operate in gangs on crowded buses, trams and metro systems associated with visitor attractions. They usually jostle you, extract what they can and get off at the next stop. The first time they had my husbands wallet from an interior zippered pocket, took around €80 then dropped the wallet with the credit cards still in it. This was on a tram to the castle in Lisbon. In Athens as we entered a metro train a man found my husbands note book, my husband noticed and the man handed it back ( of no interest to him). Most recently I was the target, jostled when getting onto a crowded bus in Naples an elderly lady tried to open my handbag (purse). She was unsuccessful. I usually wear my cross body bag under a jacket or coat and make it as difficult as possible for some one to unzip it. In Naples and Lisbon the locals on the bus were aware of what was going on and warned us
Hi! We wear them all the time if it is warm enough there. I'm sure people can tell we are Americans anyway. I would steer away from sleeveless in Europe. Thanks for watching!
Fantastic video! All good tips we learned living there. They constantly said do not look like an American. We didn't see white tennis shoes much when we were there. I would get stopped and have them talking a mile a minute in German. They thought I was German. It makes me laugh, because I didn't know a lot of German when we got there. I learned more being in the hospital for a month for my 2 back surgeries I had there. They are very nice people and I still miss being there so much even though I have been back in the states for almost 18 years. It has been my favorite place ever that I lived and traveled in.
I usually watch travel videos to get a sense of the local way to dress.
I can’t thank you enough for helping me get ready for my 3 week Ireland trip. I have always been a over packer.
I'm so happy. Thank you for watching.
My goal is to visit Ireland, when it's COVID clear, so I enjoyed the useful presentation. Phil.
Love your videos. One thing. My step father was pick pocketed out of the lower cargo pocket in Barcelona. So be careful.
Ooh do you know how they distracted him? Was it zipped or buttoned or a flap?

It's true, right? Thank you for watching!
Very helpful video, going to Europe for first time, God we were over packed, thanks for lightening our load, You have a wonderful smile.
Yay yay yay! Have an awesome time! Thanks for watching!
WOW Laurie,
Super informative and soooo interesting.
Appreciate your experience and tips.
Helpful & important. Thank you so much. 🇨🇦
Thanks for watching! I really appreciate your sweet comments.
Hi Laurie,

I don't know how I missed this comment. Sorry for the delay.
Going to Normandy this Summer. Can’t wait
NO WAY!!! Are you staying on the beach or in a nearby town? It's BEAUTIFUL! And so moving. I had no idea all the mistakes made that day. Have a great time. Thank you for watching!
Thank you! I appreciate the video for men's wear. My husband doesn't think he needs ANY new pieces in his wardrobe! (of course)
I know how you feel. Thanks for watching!
Thank you for the video. I would love more information on the Merrell shoes that you show. I’ve been looking all over for that style. I would appreciate that very much! 🙏🏽👟
Hi, I cannot find the moccasin one, but here is one I would wear in Europe. There are so many Merrells to choose from: bit.ly/3zejMAa

Always great tips and useful info. Thanks Laurie.♥️👍

Yes, I put one of those styles in my links. It would save space too. Thanks for watching!
You do not need too much as you always can wash it or there is VERY CHEAP clothing shops in England (if you go there too) where you can find some dirt cheap and still OK for 'emergency buy'.
I call it a toque 😃🇨🇦
Can't get my husband to travel to Europe. I enjoy the tips on the Costco clothes. Some great ideas once again Laurie. Thanks for the tips.
Pooey! I can't get mine to go to Walmart. One day at a time. Thank you for watching!
Very helpful. What's your take on ball caps? Big red flag? If the hat doesn't have a sports team logo is it better?
Saw alot. I think it does not matter honestly. Thank you for watching.
We are going to Europe in Four weeks on a river boat cruise. Should we take our passports with us on excursions or lock them in the safe on the boat?
I would say no. I usually leave mine in the safe in the hotel. I think you are supposed to carry ID with you in most European countries. Being British we usually don't. If you go into visitor attractions and have an audio guide they often want ID as security it accept driver's licence or credit/debit card
Helen Davies thanks
I agree with Helen. Have such an awesome time!!! One day I will do one of those! Thanks for watching!

The Merrell's you have linked are the Burnt Rocked Leather. What model do you have in the video? I like the look of those more. Thanks!
Those were my husband's really old pair I believe. They last forever. Mine were almost 20 years old if you saw those. Thanks for watching!!
Im glad you shop affordable stores for everyday people. Just looked at Bergdorf website,they have a men's beanie for $165(cashmere)Yikes!!
Hahaha it's amazing what people will pay. Thank you for watching!
How to look like an American tourist.
Hey Love your videos. We are traveling to Japan in Oct/Nov this year what are your recomendations of clothing for me.
Ooh, I have no idea for there. I would dress according to the weather, but maybe you could check RUclips or blogs. Thank you for watching!

Do you suggest different clothes for domestic and international travel to Indians🇮🇳 who are from Asian continent and want to travel to 🇺🇸 America
I would suggest being comfortable. Planes can be really hot and they can be really cold. Dress in layers.
Thank you, I have 40 years of flying experience, planes travel above my head, I stay in Santacruz which is near Juhu beach and am half hour far from Arabian Sea, It is in Mumbai, Maharashtra India.

Visited France in October and EVERYONE was wearing white tennis shoes...and not just the tourists...I think it's a thing now...lol
Yes, it's a total thing. And the huge platform white sneakers are trending here too :I Thanks for watching!
I'm planning on traveling soon with my three teen boys. Do you have any advice regarding packing for that age?
Just make sure the clothes are clean lol. I'm sure they will wear dirty undies at some point, but who would know. Vans were super uncomfortable fyi. The teen guy who was with us told us that. Download the airline's app because that's where entertainment systems are for some airlines. Have such a wonderful time!!!

Its my understanding that shorts are OUT for Europe.
Hi! We wear them all the time if it is warm enough there. I'm sure people can tell we are Americans anyway. I would steer away from sleeveless in Europe. Thanks for watching!
Beanie or stocking cap.
Thank you for watching. I say sock hat.
You can wear everything thing in Europe but you can not wear nothing.
Shorts to a normal or classic restaurant in Europe? not recommend!!
Hi we saw them everywhere but we were in touristy parts.
Fantastic video! All good tips we learned living there. They constantly said do not look like an American. We didn't see white tennis shoes much when we were there. I would get stopped and have them talking a mile a minute in German. They thought I was German. It makes me laugh, because I didn't know a lot of German when we got there.

It's beautiful! But it all is. People are all the same...just a different language. Hugs to you this Easter.
