This is the first "travel must haves" video in a long time that has some new and useful items, aside from the same old stuff. Thank you so much!
Glad you enjoyed it! I always love sharing new finds! Thanks for watching! 😀
Nice tips! I'd like to add that depending on trip length & personal needs, I find using a peeler like you'd use for carrots works well to peel off thin pieces of a bar of soap which can be stored in a plastics ziplock or other plastic sealable bag. Cetaphil works great since it's gentle for face and body plus can be used in a pinch for washables in a sink. Blessings! ✈️☮️
I've never tried using soap shavings for individual uses before! What a great tip to try, thank you! 😀 I actually have the Cetaphil hydrating face bar and wouldn't have thought to use it for laundry but I can totally see how that might work if needed. Thanks for watching and commenting!
Hey! The travel essentials you mentioned today were fantastic. I’ve watched many videos and 99.9% are repeat wisdom however you brought a lot of new or modified options to the table. Thank you so much for doing so. You are awesome.
Thanks so much!!! Comments like this one mean the world to me, because that's exactly what I was aiming for! Thanks for watching! 😀
I don't travel as much as you do but we have a boat and SO many of your travel things/hacks work well for us. We love the collapsible hangers and the clotheslines. I am buying the paper detergent asap as I love water free (aka less heavy and bulky) cleaning supplies. Also, I am sure you have heard this before but your voice reminds me of Leslie Mann and that is a compliment, because I love her.
What a great point! A lot of these can be helpful for car trips and boats, too! Thanks so much for watching!
And haha! I've actually never heard the Leslie Mann comparison before, but she's amazing so I'm more than happy to sound like her! 😀
This is the first channel I’ve seen state up front that the links are affiliate 👏🏻 makes me so much more likely to shop through them
So glad to hear you feel this way! I try to do this in all of my videos with affiliate links so people can make informed decisions. I definitely don’t want to be one of those channels that straddle the line! 😀
Hey Elizabeth! I absolutely loved this updated Amazon travel products review video. Your recommendations are always on point, and I appreciate how you provide honest feedback on the items you've tested. Your attention to detail is impressive! Thanks for sharing these awesome finds and providing the links for easy access. Keep up the fantastic work. Thumbs up and subscribed!
Thank you so much, this comment means the world!!! Really glad to hear you liked the video! Hope I shared some good new products! And welcome to the community - so glad you've subscribed! 😀
Oooh!! I'm always up for more Amazon travel gear. 👍
You and me both! Haha, thanks for watching, Anna! 🤗
Thanks for the great Amazon travel items tips expecically the air tags.
The airtags are AMAZING for keeping your peace of mind! So glad you liked the video, and thanks for watching! 😀
I like the multi tool - the air tags.. not a huge fan, all it does for me is tell me that the luggage arrived, or on a recent flight to LA from Australia has me aware my luggage was still in Australia and I was annoyed for 14 hours lol
Haha oh nooooo this made me chuckle, but also of course made me feel so sad!!! What an ordeal! That would have been devastating! But I suppose at bare minimum, when you arrived and your bags weren't there, you at least knew exactly where the bags were vs. feeling frantic when working it out with the airlines. 🙏
Great video - thank you for showing me so many things that I didn’t know I needed.
Haha so glad it was helpful! Thanks so much for watching! 😀🙏
Thank you. Those soap bags are great. Also those liquid bags.😊
They’re so handy! I’ve been loving them!
Great video! I love your necklace…where did you buy it. Thanks
Thank you so much!!! I actually designed it myself at a jewelry show that I attend every year! I bought an adjustable silver chain from one vendor, and then hand-picked a Japanese akoya pearl from my favorite wholesale pearl vendor, who I then had drill me a custom-fit hole and string the pearl in real time. I’ve actually been thinking about working with the vendors to produce more of these and sell them myself, so maybe I should consider doing that more strongly! It’s perfect for travel! 😊
Thank you so much! Those items are so helpful. I'm adding some to my Amazon cart!
So glad to hear it was helpful! Hope you love the new gear on your next trip!!! 😀
Great tips, Eliz! I love the shave bar idea. I use Clinique too. Love it. Smart to cut the bar up!
I just wish I had a better tool than a kitchen knife to slice the soap bar, haha!
Will be picking up the Kitsch shave bar. Thank you for the recommendation! I actually used the kitsch liquid pouches for a three week trip through France last year and they were amazing.
The liquids pouches are so useful, and I love how they get smaller after you use them! Hope you like the shave butter bar as much as I did on my last trip! I'll definitely be bringing it again on my upcoming trips. 😀
Already shopping ur links. Yea!
Glad to hear it! Thanks for watching, and I hope you love the purchases! 😀
The hat looks super cute on you!
Thanks so much! 😀
I absolutely love the travel hacks you shared in this video! Speaking of travel essentials, have you heard about the new V4 of the Bento Bag from Nomad Lane? It's designed to make packing and organizing a breeze, and I thought you might appreciate its functionality.
Please feel free to let Nomad Lane know that they can send me a bag to test out!
Hi @MeansToTravel
Thank you for the video, definitely, there are a bunch of great ideas. I am going to visit family in Mexico for Christmas and I want to try to travel carry-on only. I have seen that you have a video for holiday (Christmas) gift ideas. However, I would love to see if you could make a video related to the things we carry-on packers can gift to adults and children that are traveler friendly to be able to transport but still lovely presents. Have you ever been in that situation where you have to bring gifts for your loved ones? thank you so much I love your videos
Oooo that's a tough one. Yes, we have experience with this. We travel to see family in Arizona every year for Christmas, and we usually always check *_at least_* one bag just in case we are given gifts that we can't carry home in carry ons...or bring a folding duffel that we could check on the way home. Also, it's important to remember that you can't bring wrapped gifts in carry-on luggage per the TSA rules, so your wrapping materials would also need to be in your bags. I suppose you could just give gift cards or cards with money if you want to bring all of your gifts with you? Another option would be to order all of your gifts online, and then have the boxes delivered to your family's home but with the packages addressed in your names so they know to put them aside and not open them (this is what we usually do). _OR_ you could buy all of your gifts early and mail them to your family's home many weeks ahead of Christmas to make sure they arrive around the time you do. I hope at least one of these solutions will work!!!
I carried a Kitsch conditioner bar on our recent 12 day trip to Italy. It worked great as a shave bar too. The Kitsch shampoo bars are great. I think I’ll get the clarifying shampoo bar next time. The hard water did a number on my hair by the end 😂. I took half of the bar soaps in one container and it was more than enough for the trip.
So glad you like the Kitsch bars, too! I haven’t tried their shampoo and conditioner bars yet, but the shave butter bar worked great for my one-month trip to Europe and there was still a ton left for the next trip!
I really enjoyed this video. So many fantastic things I've never heard of.
What a valuable video. Saving this one.
Question. How did you handle sun block??
Thank you! For my month-long trip to Europe when I filmed this video, I bought sunblock in The Netherlands for my checked bag before going to Greece. If I know I will need a lot of spf on a trip, I usually budget for buying some at the destination. Otherwise, I just pack my Elta MD face sunscreen, use a powder sunscreen for touch ups, and/or have a travel size spf bottle or stick for my body. Hope that helps!
What great , cool travel hacks, we have the air tags. We will purchase soap bags. Love it. Hope you guys are doing ok. Hope to do a meet up in Chicago this fall. Sending you much love and
affection from Richmond, Va. 😍😍😍 Harriet, Jim and Yuki
I hope you like the soap bar bags as much as we have been! We're doing well and trying to enjoy some nice summertime weather in Chicago right now! How has the weather been in Richmond?!
@@MeansToTravel You just experienced the rainy season with a duluge. Lost power for 5 hours. All is fine now. Hope you guys are doing ok .
I can attest those plugs are awesome….bring 1 per person
I agree, they make charging your essentials SOOO much easier!
Lovely video, and some good tips. Would like to add one more thing: the adapter you showed is not suitable for the UK (you mentioned that you can use it for all of Europe, and although they left the Euro, they are still in Europe 😂)
Yes so true, there are lot's of nuances to consider! For example, Ireland is in the EU but uses Type G plugs like the UK. That said, what's great is that it's possible to buy whichever adapters you need from Vintar based on the countries you're traveling to! Their product page has options for Types C, G, J, E/F, and more 😀
I cut up a bar of soap then use a small piece at a time then throw out the remains of the piece when I move from hotel to hotel.
That’s smart so you lighten the load little by little!
Thank you for sharing. Quite a few items in your video that I haven’t seen elsewhere. The bar bags are something I had been thinking about. Have you tried any of the kitsch bar shampoos or conditioners? I’d like to get an honest opinion before investing in any. I’ve been thinking of going that route to keep them in the toiletry bag, ready to go at a moment’s notice. I found a similar bar holder/drier thing recently at a grocery store while traveling and picked it up, my husband thought it was genius. Thanks again, I’ve subscribed to your channel.
I haven't tried them yet, but I actually JUST ordered some yesterday for Prime Day so I'll try to give the shampoo and conditioner bars a try soon and report how I like them! And welcome to the channel, thanks so much for subscribing! 😀
@@MeansToTravel I actually ordered them on prime day too, I’ve been looking at them for a while. I had gotten a shampoo bat at a little shop in Maine last year, and I loved it, but I had only gotten the shampoo bar, so anxious to try both.
hi. mountain spring water doesn't need filter its super drinkable
Depends on the mountain most likely, and if you’re getting the water directly at the source or downstream. I’d never recommend drinking straight from a fresh water source that you find in nature, in case of fecal matter contamination (or many other environmental toxins). This is especially true if your body is accustomed to normally drinking treated or filtered water sources, such as most American tap water.
If an animal died upstream, or someone used the bathroom too close to water source,…. The filter will take care of that
Hey! Sorry!
But I’m Not seeing a Link
to Your Black lightweight
“Day backpack.”
Hi Dawn! I believe you might be referring to the black backpack that I was carrying around in my recent Santorini packing video. That one was from Target several years ago, actually! Sometimes you can find a pre-owned version of that backpack on Poshmark if you search "universal threads black backpack." Otherwise, there is a black version of the foldable/packable one that Derek carries around on Amazon! The link to that one is here: amzn.to/3Y2JB0n
Good luck and hope this helps you find what you need! 😀
The filter works to .1 microns
Filters out most things
Not viruses or chemicals
Great filter
So glad to hear you like the filter too!
Sawyer also makes a great filter
I bet Greek tap water is better than chicago which tastes like a swimming pool to me
The tap water on Santorini and in Greece is actually much worse tasting, and locals don’t drink it either. That said, if I’m being honest, I don’t taste anything bad in Chicago tap water and I drink it every day! I’m sorry to hear you don’t like it!
I am Asian , welcome to travel in Asian countries , Tokyo Japan , Seoul Korea , Shanghai China , Hong Kong , Taipei Taiwan , Manila Philippines , Bangkok Thailand , Kuala Lumpur Malaysia , Singapore , Jakarta Indonesia
Hi there! Yes, between me and Derek we've already been to four of those destinations! We've loved visiting Asia, and can't wait to travel to that continent again someday!
@@MeansToTravel Do you like travel in Asian countries or European countries ?
Those plugs won't work in Ireland or UK, we are different to rest of Europe.
Yes, true! You'd need different converters for those countries (and I think for Switzerland, too).
Katadyn is pronounced Kah-tah-din.
Ooo thanks for the heads up!
So you spend $60 on soap cases. Really?
Haha yes! It sounds like a lot up front, but I did the math and realized it’s soooo much cheaper long-term to get reusable soap cases than constantly buy new body washes every time I travel. If you don’t travel often or for extended periods, it might not be worth it.
And I’m currently staying in an airbnb in Europe with my friends that only had a tiny bit of soap, so I can confirm that not everywhere supplies enough soap for people.
