Obsessed with the plastic compression bags! I was the only one in my family who used them on our trip to Hawaii years ago. We had already boarded since we were in first class and while we were watching the luggage drive up to the plane this massive storm blew in. We sat there watching everyone’s luggage get DRENCHED! We sat there like that for FOUR HOURS! The rest of my family was freaking out and I sat there with a smirk on my face knowing all my clothes were fine haha. We get to Hawaii, get our bags, and they’re soaked still like it just happened. We are from NC so it took 11.5 flight hours to get there plus the couple hours we had a layover in LA. Those bags were still dripping wet. It was disgusting. We get to the hotel open our bags. My clothes were perfect! Everyone else spent the next day doing laundry at the resort and had to have their special clothes sent to the dry cleaners. I will ALWAYS use them now! Doesn’t matter if I need to save space or not! Doesn’t matter that I have a hard shell suitcase now, you know that thing isn’t waterproof! Lol it’s been 10yrs since we took that trip and I still talk about what happened and how awesome those bags are! Oh and I used the rolling ones just like the ones in this video. Not this specific brand but the same concept, vacuum free ones.
I own the EVERKI backpack and it is the best quality. I fly sometimes 24 times a year and have been using it for 4 years and it is still in great shape. Best money I ever spent.
i've been intrigued by the beis seat back organiser for a while, but do you disinfect it after use? Because it goes in the dirty pocket its "contaminated" so you can't just throw it in your bag again without wiping it down with disinfectant
Have not traveled by plane in a while but I love the Narwhal pens They fit in a wallet and perfect for my LV agenda. Need a second order. They sometimes disappear because they are so slim. But adorable 🖋🖋
I have an ebag backpack that is AWESOME-use as work bag, but as underseat personal item especially if need to take my laptop is perfect. Has tons of storage/pockets, expandable waterbottle outside pocket, laptop sleeve, inside compartment opens FLAT like a suitcase too, expandable. straps tuck in so they don't catch on stuff if want to shove in overhead bin or under seat, has handles on three sides to grab it out etc. It's traveled everywhere with me (long road trips, international, cheap seats on budget airline where only "personal" item is allowed). Best investment I made in bags (although I do love my Vera Bradley and Coach bags too lol)
Good morning, Friend! Thanks for the memories flashback! 😍 My grandparents used to put a bright, rainbow strap around their luggage so they'd see their bags on the pickup conveyor belt. 😍
For cleaning those compressible water bottles I've purchased denture tablets to really do a deep clean. You can also clean a menstrual cup while you travel with them too.
I have tubs of PDI Sanihands all over my house. That’s what comes with having a family member who works in healthcare in a mobile environment(he ends up carrying allll sorts of random stuff 😂). We have tubs in the car and we take them on vacation - but I’ve been looking for something similar for a trip I’m taking to Eastern Europe without the family. Thanks for the tip! Oh, and I LOVE my Kroser laptop backpack. It’s much simpler, with cleaner lines for business use. I love the variety of really useful, good looking bags they have.
I have a travel purse and a travel backpack that are swipe proof (the straps can't be cut) and each pocket is lockable . Its the Pacsafe brand and it's amazing. I actually lie them flat in my carry on or my checked back and use them during the day when we are touring. The only issue with a backpack that can be opened , is that street urchins are very good at opening them without you even knowing . Check it out girl!
I got SO many of these items for my trip to Florida and I would buy them again! I got the travel wallet in green and I received so many compliments, I still use it after I got home! I also got the Narwal pen, hero clip, charging clip and flight flap. I was so excited to use the flight flap but discovered most of the bigger plans now have a phone holder on the seat backs, but it’s still a great travel item. Great suggestions, I enjoy your review videos!
Just watched your New Tube channel. It couldn't have come at a better time for. I'm travel over to the USA from Ireland this September and I'll definitely be buying the collapsible beaker for the flight.
I bought the TSA toiletries bag and loveeee it! It’s such a great quality pack and I make use of the snap handle to hang when traveling. The keychain/bottle opener/charger is such a genius idea. Just added it to my cart… I just wished there was a way it could be a wine bottle opener too 😆
The Everki backpack is 13. 5 x 8. 5 x 18. 5 or 18.9 x 13.4 x.9.1. Both sizes exceeds the size limits for a personal bag, 9 x 10 x 17. It would count as a carry on bag.
May I suggest a couple of alternatives in case products you’ve recommended are sold out? “Bag bungee” to hold personal item bags on the suitcase handle, Clorox or Purell wipes in travel size (Purell sells individually wrapped too), EBags backpacks for the Everki, and there are TONS of clear toiletry bags on Amazon, not as nice as the one you showed, but may be more available! 😊
Thank you! But my goal is to recommend only products I’ve tried or have on-hand to ensure quality. I try my best but due to popularity some things do sell out! They usually restock though.
This video made me a new subscriber. I also live in Houston and found so many ideas worthy of my list. I'm glad I began with a pen and paper because you are a fast taller! The info about AmEx is especially valuable. I wish I had obtained one earlier. Thanks for all the wonderful ideas, tips and recommendations.
Love these videos!! I got the Bento Bag you mentioned in one of your other travel hacks videos and it was the BEST investment ever! I use it ALL the time! Thanks for recommending it!! 🥰
Thanks so much for this! I have a random tech question for you. Do you have a hard drive you recommend? I need to buy one to store pictures and videos on.
Yeah the Flight Flap was sold out when I looked. I bought a knockoff that works awesome too. But yes, it was super lightweight. And I cut weight on my trip by watching stuff on my phone and since it could by hung right in front of me, my neck didn't get tired. My tablet is just too heavy. Highly recommend getting these flap thingamajiggies. The flight attendant on Aer Lingus was intrigued by it.
I just bought so many of these items for an upcoming trip. I hope the backpack was not really $29. I just paid $57. I really needed a small portable power bank so I got that one, the water bottles, the travel wallet masks and sanitizer. Thank you for the great content. I’ve been a LONG time follower. PPS
I have the Beis organizer and found it doesn't fit very well on Southwest seats. It works great on other airlines. I need the keychain/bottle opener for sure!
Loved everything especially the travel wallet! You seem so much happier now that you aren’t doing the medical stuff full time. Happy for you! Enjoy Norway
The only downside of a backpack is how easy it is for thieves to access your stuff. I'm sure in Norway it's alright, but in Paris one of my friend had his backpack emptied in a bus, it was crowded, he didn't feel a thing. Had to stay behind to have his papers done... In public transport always keep your backpack in front of you.
Love the luggage strap. My luggage also has non standard handle that nothing fits over. Now I can strap my bag on safely. Looking forward to binge watching as I’ve just subscribed.
Hubby and I are trying with one backpack and with our 2 iPad pros it is way heavy! I’m going to purge “my stuff” but I’m thinking we should maybe each have one. Can you recommend a rolling bag that fits under the seat?
Very informative information! Thanks. One thing, i did try to check out the compressible water bottle but there is no link in Amazon to it now. Can you tell me the brand name?
Not sure if this is the way the light is hitting your hair or you’ve changed up the color but I am loving your hair in this video the color I beautiful!
Omg this video was so helpful. Thank you so much! ☺️ Also a bit random, but I also live in Houston Texas & my name is also Kristina, but mine is spelled with a C lol
This is my first video of yours and I love it! Subscribed. I was really excited about the hack at the beginning of the video, but it’s not working for me in mobile. Any tips? I press and hold the link and the popup shown in your screen recording doesn’t pop up for me
While you're here drop a like and a comment on this video!!

Even before pandemic, I wore mask in the airplane, you can avoid cold and sore throat too:)
I bought the travel wallet back in January and used for a trip to South America in April...and have never stopped using it.
I never knew about the other way to get to the Amazon store link. I just came across your channel and am so glad I found it.
Just found you…. I’m watching you in Melbourne Australia, loved all your tips and products shown, excellent ✅
Have not traveled by plane in a while but I love the Narwhal pens They fit in a wallet and perfect for my LV agenda. Need a second order. They sometimes disappear because they are so slim. But adorable 🖋🖋
Amex Platinum is a must have card for air travelers. I used to get Lounge access by another Credit Card. But the lounges were very limited in number.
Love it! My favorites are the holder in the back seat pocket and the belt to hold a bag on your luggage!
Awesome picks Sofia!
Just LOVE your video! Thank you so very much!
hubby and i booked a cruise today!! great timing! ❤️ 🚢 🌊 ❤️
I’ve been watching a lot of videos on these lines and most of them gets super repetitive, but this has so much new info! Thanks!☺️
Glad it was helpful!
Love the video especially the little gadgets for the airplane travels
I bought the hero clip after watching a previous video of yours- & I LOVE it. I use it so many ways!

Sani cloth! Shut up! Love these at work! Awesome find
Great video! Your new work status agrees with you. You look so happy and rested. :)

Awesome tips - especially the use of the Apps you mentioned towards the end. Preety cool stuff.

I didn't see the wallet on think provided. Does this mean they are sold out? Wahhhh...I've been searching for one exactly like this!
KB always brings us amazing life solutions. Love these videos and your luxe POV.

Yay! Thank you!
Love your videos !! You should do what's in my purse travel edition
Loved your video! So many helpful ideas and the way you explain it’s amazing. Thank you
Thanks so much for this! I have a random tech question for you. Do you have a hard drive you recommend? I need to buy one to store pictures and videos on.
When crossing a backpack, make sure it has a chest strap. Really makes it more comfortable and easy on the back.
Omg thanks for the help with the links!!!!!❤
My favorite is the Flight Flap Pro which I will be purchasing. Thank you great video 👏🏽👏🏽. I’m a new subscriber as well
Love these videos!! Helps out with my Christmas shopping!! Perfect items!!🌺🌸🌺

Primark / Penneys has great stuff for traveling. I get all of my clear bags there.
Great information, thanks! Also, thanks for setting up the links the way you did, it’s so much easier.
My pleasure!!!
Thank u for your efforts ❤
I love how your bags are displayed. Would u mind if I ask where u found the show case?
I just bought so many of these items for an upcoming trip. I hope the backpack was not really $29. I just paid $57. I really needed a small portable power bank so I got that one, the water bottles, the travel wallet masks and sanitizer. Thank you for the great content. I’ve been a LONG time follower. PPS
I just checked and it's $59.99! Kristina, driving the market, lol!
I think it must have been a one day sale when I bought it!! I'll keep an eye out for price reductions, maybe we can get amazon to match the price!
You should do a road trip version of this type of video!
You always have the best suggestions
Glad you think so! I try! :)
Awesome video. Thank you so much. New subscriber! Hey, I love your eye shadow and lashes. Could you please tell us colors, brands, etc.?
I have the Beis organizer and found it doesn't fit very well on Southwest seats. It works great on other airlines. I need the keychain/bottle opener for sure!
Loved the video. What is the model of the ROAV glasses - I want them!!!
Loved everything especially the travel wallet! You seem so much happier now that you aren’t doing the medical stuff full time. Happy for you! Enjoy Norway
Thank you for this video. Houston girl too 💁🏽♀️
Killin it with the videos!!❤
Kristina: did you know plane seats are pretty gross
Me, not intending to travel for at least the next two years: 😲 that is so true I MUST buy this
😂😂
Lolllllll 😆😆
I’m so excited to finally be traveling to Australia soon! I will have to check these suggestions out!
Great video. Ordered the Everki to check out while I wait for the Tumi. New sub
Just watched one of your videos for the first time! You live in Houston! So cool.....as do I! I love it!
Great video! Would you make one on your fav phone apps overall? Loving your content and ideas!
Thank you so much for the mask and sani-wipes recommendations! 🥰
Love the travel apps that you mentioned. Never knew about those & would have been helpful to have
Love those shades! I’m ordering!
Thanks u actually have real interesting thing we need
Kristina! What is the name of the lip color you’re wearing?? It looks so good on you 😍
Hi Kristina. Your skin looks amazing by the way.Love the vlogs .l like to travel so this was fun to watch.
The only downside of a backpack is how easy it is for thieves to access your stuff. I'm sure in Norway it's alright, but in Paris one of my friend had his backpack emptied in a bus, it was crowded, he didn't feel a thing. Had to stay behind to have his papers done... In public transport always keep your backpack in front of you.
Fabulous suggestions all the way to the end
Where is the link to this packing cube? The link I’m seeing goes to a different set of bags. I would love to find the one you show in the video.
Love it all! Thanks Kristina, xx
It seems like you have a lot of great product recommendations but I found it difficult to see what you were showing. Can you hold the product still?
Love the luggage strap. My luggage also has non standard handle that nothing fits over. Now I can strap my bag on safely. Looking forward to binge watching as I’ve just subscribed.
Thanks for subscribing! Hope you enjoy!

Totally random question but I love the sweater you’re wearing in this video. If possible, can you please link to it?
Very informative information! Thanks. One thing, i did try to check out the compressible water bottle but there is no link in Amazon to it now. Can you tell me the brand name?
Just stumbled across your channel. Great video. Do you have a link for the striped sweater you are wearing? I love it!
Not sure if this is the way the light is hitting your hair or you’ve changed up the color but I am loving your hair in this video the color I beautiful!
Oh thank you!
Love the video!!! Just wondering if you have tried the iPad pencil for Harper at all?!
Do you mean allowing her to draw on an iPad? Yes! She has loved it since about the age of 2-2.5!
Wo many great ideas!
i love your vidio is so much info
Omg this video was so helpful. Thank you so much! ☺️ Also a bit random, but I also live in Houston Texas & my name is also Kristina, but mine is spelled with a C lol
I love these kinds of videos!
Off topic, but can you share where your shelves are from?
Thank you
Do you have a brand recommendation for compression socks?
I love your travel tips.The sanitary wipes are they for your hands or do you wipe everything around you ?
Oooh sorry no I should clarify: wipe everything down around you!
Great video. I love your sweater. Where is it from.?
This is my first video of yours and I love it! Subscribed. I was really excited about the hack at the beginning of the video, but it’s not working for me in mobile. Any tips? I press and hold the link and the popup shown in your screen recording doesn’t pop up for me

Love these! New sub!!
Love the new videos! ❤
