1. Check out our Gift Guide for a curated list of our favorite products on Huckberry 👉https://packhacker.com/blog/general/unique-travel-gifts/

2. What is super cool and you guys don't cover are chest packs..

3. A pair of small pocket binoculars can be handy in the airport. By being able to read the departure boards from further away, you can usually find a quiet spacious place to wait whilst still being able to check for updates whenever you want.

4. Thanks)

5. This was such a good video!

6. I like to add a few.

   Always bring your physical credit cards when you travel, in case Apple Pay (or any contactless payment with your phone) does not work in the country.

   Be alert of your surroundings and don't constantly look at your phone when walking.

   While they advise to go with the flow when travelling, it's okay to back out if you are not comfortable visiting a specific place (either for safety or security reasons)

7. I do not like the 'ask the locals stop relying on tech' it is so annoying. Rely on the map, if u dont understand THEN ask. Don‘t go wasting people’s time

8. backup mobile phone … tote bag which folds down into your main bag .. I prefer a 40l barrel bag (half full) with a sling carrying strap.. so I can see it all the time.. cargo shorts and waistcoats with zip pockets.. ohhhh and smile a lot.. 😊

9. At the end of the day, "travel experts" are just grown up Boy Scouts.

10. I have a question. You guys always pitch traveling with one rucksack in carry on. How do you do that? There are strict limits on how muxh you can carry carrry on. What am I not understading?

11. Backpacks with wheels are awesome. You get the best of both. Never wear a sling with money on your back. Keep everything of value that's small on your chest in a hard to open case, out of site if possible. I use to keep 500us (maybe spit with local money) bucks in my non-namebrand, non flashy shoes for emergencies. (muggers will take name brand shoes like nike). You can get phones with 2 sim card slot (i still have one). And never let a taxi driver put you bag in the trunk. I worked on cruise lines…and often left the tourist zones. So, I've avoided the worst. I did this stuff from day 1…it saved my ass a few times.

12. Photo copy your passport to use when venturing..
    No Jewellery
    Study your destination before you visit….be aware of cultural customs
    Wear jackets or pullovers with inside pockets to store cash, cards or documents.
    When using a TShirt, use a small flat card wallet tied to a lacing (it looks irrelevant) on the inside as a necklace. You can store cards or cash. (Used this over 25 times in Colombia with no issues as no one sees it)

13. I would love to see a video of essential in a year long trip, like for someone doing a working holiday 🙂

14. With your wide feet’s, what are some of your favorite shoes

15. what was that black shoes?

16. Does anyone know what the crossbody bag is in the b-roll at 1:18?

17. In Japan all 7-11 that I’ve been to accept foreign atm cards. They also have an option for 1000 yen bills which is great.

18. Come to Perú 🇵🇪🇵🇪

19. When we came to Boracay Island in the Philippines last February, me and my whole family slept the day on our arrival then we woke at arround 2:30 am local time. Me and my sister used this time for an super early walk to the nearest 7 eleven and the 24/7 restaurant (Boracay Island is secured. Don't worry)

20. I ordered the 35L Pakt One Travel duffel and from experience, that's more than enough for my Japan/Korea trip.
    I went to Japan for 18 days in 2019 and the Away carry-on 38L was more than enough for me so thanks to my last experience, I know for a fact that I never want to roll a luggage/carry-on with me ever again.

    Also, all the Airbrb I've been in had washing machines so I can definitely under pack. Worst case I need to hand wash some shirts and undies but that is no big deal!

21. Backpacks with wheels are awesome. You get the best of both. Never wear a sling with money on your back.

22. Is that an oura ring??

23. Chase no longer does travel notifications. I used to set up alerts online and was getting ready to do it again but the site doesn't have the function. I went to a branch and they don't do it there. Called Sapphire Reserve customer service and the rep said "As long as you don't exceed your limit, your transaction won't be declined." When I asked if they wanted to know where I was going or how long I'd be gone, she said they don't need to know. (We're gonna find out because I leave tonight but I'm taking cash and have a Wise card, just in case).

24. Jewelry dupes are an absolute must when traveling – no way would I travel with my engagement ring! A good dupe does the job and if it's lost, no big deal.

25. it's a good advise to book a flight with muliple layovers when the industry is stable. Now the aviation industry is still a bit shaky after the Covid, so they still cancel a lot of flights. And if one of your legs is cancelled, the whole trip is and u need to book it over and re-arrange everyhing. So my tip – until the market stabilizes, try to book the direct flights or with minimal layovers. Save your energy and time and worries

26. Nice to see the "EU AMO FLORIPA" there. I hope you enjoyed Brazil 💚

27. Rick Steves, the OG. Forever a fan here also.
