    I carry a one litre ‎(20.6L x 13.5W x 6.9H Centimetres) Lock & Lock storage container. I use the container as a tray on the bathroom counter so hotel housekeeping doesn't have to touch all my toiletries when they want to wipe the counter. I turn the lid upside down on the night stand and use it for my phone and room key card, etc. When traveling the container is a safe place for small or delicate items so they don't get crushed in my suitcase.

    Thanks for the information! I think a very important ‘must bring’, especially if traveling in another country, is a small portable C2O2 detector and small portable fire detector!! Not every country requires these in rentals, and deaths occasionally occur.

    If I have an eye mask, I find I’m not bothered by all the lights around which means I no longer travel with tape! Also, I can get white noise on my phone so one less cool gadget (even though I love gadgets!). Thanks for the collapsible kettle link.

    All these add to the bulk of your luggage and travelling with only a carry on I have to make choices about what comfort items I bring...

  • @skycladraven1248
    @skycladraven1248 3 месяца назад +3

    by altering the smoke detector, it is possible that you will be assuming liability if there an actual emergency. Wearing a sleeping mask if far smarter. I did find a dead cockroach in a coffee maker once.

    Aly I actually bring a full sized pillow now. I''m someone who realizes that you just have to bite the bullet and check a bag in order to be comfortable. I also pack a little 6 inch extension cord because sometimes the electrical outlet is in an awkward place that is not conducive to plugging in a brick charger.

    skip that multi prong plug in. just have an extension cord handy. I always travel with one. I usually keep on a pair of sock because those hotel carpets are not cleaned nearly as sufficiently as they should be. I cannot tell you how many times I got foot fungus from those hotel floors, which is why I always pack anti-fungal cream as well.

    You’re amazing! I thought I had most of the hotel hacks down. When I was 13, I worked at a hotel for a summer in housekeeping and saw the horrors. I love the pillow, and I travel with a small, super soft blanket, which I use as a pillow sometimes. If I have room, I bring my pillowcases, but that is if I have room. I use a washcloths for my small items and jewelry cause they always give you too many. I will be buying the little valet much more classy and practical. Nightlight and electrical tape are genius! And I bring an extra thick pair of socks and only use those for walking in the hotel room, but slippers, genius! And the tea kettle! I want to give you a huge hug! That’s one item going into my luggage if nothing else. I bring my tea (I went through chemo, and I can only drink one brand and one kind of tea in the morning, it’s ridiculous) and coffee, and then the Hubs goes downstairs and gets hot water. Purchasing the kettle! Thank you ♥️ I am looking forward to watching your other videos.

    I need to try those packing cubes. Im traveling for two and a half weeks next month and if i can keep it to one bag thatd be great. I second bringing that coffee pot and slippers. Stayed at a budget hotel (great for allowing kitty to stay) but the floor had an odd feeling in the floor. Slippers saved the stay! I'd add to the list some instant coffee packs. Think Starbucks Via. I like to have a couple cups and if the husband is with me thats not possible. Also a small steamer for clothes. Ive been in hotels that dont supply an iron and board. The small steamer has done winders on simple shirts that need a touch up from sitting in the luggage.

      Hey thanks! I definitely miss Twitch, it was super fun, and thanks for being part of the community! Unfortunately it takes a lot of work and time, and I needed to dedicate that time & effort to YT which pays the bills lol. I would love to find a way to get back to Twitch on occasion though... hopefully at some point, just not sure when.
