1. Use code Megan10 for 10% off Unbound Merino clothing: https://bit.ly/PP-Merino
   My favorite pants for travel (I’m obsessed!): https://bit.ly/PP-MerinoPants

2. All of this information is true I definitely save this video❤❤

3. Cash is king!

4. Why are you always on the bed? Why always sleeveless? Don't get it. You have good info.

5. Learned the hard way: When in a foreign country only withdraw cash while INSIDE an actual bank. I had used one of those street-side, walk-up ATMs which must have had a data skimming device attached. The bank made me whole, but not worth the hassle.

6. Too much pushing products….

7. Most if not all full-sized backpacks exceed the personal item limit for many airlines, but not the carry-on limit. To make the most of the hand baggage limit, you'll want a backpack as the carry-on item, and a small sling bag or similar size as your personal item.

8. Beware the hot water in the plane…not necessarily sanitary.

9. Cash is king if you want to bargain in countries where income tax is 70%

10. Just realized after viewing your nice videos, that there are some things I've done before departing for overseas trips, that I would like to share. Here you go:
    I always email TO MYSELF, the following PASSWORD PROTECTED documents. This way, if I should lose any essential items like credit cards or passport, I can easily make the appropriate contacts to remedy the loss.
    1. A good photo of my Canadian passport photo page. Keep the orig passport in my room safe at destination.
    2. A LIST of phone numbers and credit card numbers/passwords, of bank branches at home, emergency contacts, travel health insurance numbers, etc.
    3. Electronic tickets, incl plane and train tickets, as well as museum tickets if bought in advance.
    Have I missed anything? Oh yeah….don't lose/misplace your phone/tablet overseas! Not much remedy for that!
    With this, I am only an email check away from retrieving any essential info in case of a really bad day in Europe!
    Happy travels!

11. Who buys a " travel" leggings for $155"?…….or a plain white T- shirt for $88?…im pretty sure everyone has "travel" clothes a.ready in their closet

12. Oh good, I can sell all my photo gear. What a fool I was.

13. I think bringing a separate camera is a personal choice. I always take my Olympus EPL-1 with two four-third lenses with me on tour overseas. They all fit in a day bag that's about 12" x 10". And the pic quality far surpasses any phone cam! Also, easier to lose an iPhone with all your pics on it (although using a Cloud service would mitigate against this). Nice videos, very helpful and good insights/tricks to make longer flights more pleasant and stress-free. Thanks.

14. Wrong. Always carry cash. In an emergency, giving a local person cash will often get you out of trouble, especially in 3rd world countries.

15. So how much cash is allowed on the airplane?

16. Yeah, carrying cash in the US is legal, except when greedy LEO folks want to engage in "taxation without representation". They need the money for their station's "strawberry frozen daiquiri" machines…

17. I am a photographer so the advice to camera to utterly stupid.

18. In Canada no foreign fee credit cards are expensive if you rarely travel. If you don't travel often, use cash and get an oyster card. Completely different for other nationalities.

19. Gotta tell you, I don't agree with all your tips, but you've got some good ones and I like the videos. Short, succinct and to the point. But your over-emphasis on speaking clearly sounds like a robot answering machine. The clarity is great, but need to work on it because it sounds so artificial.

20. We travel often to the Caribbean, and a good amount of cash is a must.

21. WITH ALL THESE NEW B.S. AIRLINE RULES, I'M READY TO TAKE A TRAIN.

22. Cell phone cameras can never substitute even moderate not super sophisticated cameras with separate lenses: the quality of images is incomparable. Plus phone cameras do not take high definition shots in the distance or when shooting moving objects. Real expensive cameras are always worth some extra effort and hassle of bringing them over. And I’m not a professional photographer.

23. Experience travellers take cash because they know card is not accepted everywhere especially in remote communities

24. I always carry cash 💰

25. As far as I am concerned CASH is king, I do use a credit card when I need to, but a lot of places I have visited would only accept cash.

26. I have really been enjoying your videos. I gasped when you said no snacks, but then relaxed when you said a full meal, lol.
