I prep the house for AIR BNB guests. Making money from our property while we are away has lead to more holidays/better holidays. We always travel over Christmas, long weekends and these are the times people want a place to rent. Money while we sleep!!! People ask me, but you have people sleeping in your bed, I say, when you travel you sleep in hostels/hotels where you sleep on beds that no doubt have seen way more crazyiness, but you’re ok with that?
This was great! You even covered the plants! Impressive!
Can’t forget those plant babies haha
Just discovered this channel. OMG ...going to Europe in 6 months and thank God I found you guys earlier 😀😀.
Stay blessed
Fantastic tips so much common sense, but you even touch on things we would never think of!!! Just love your travel vids.
Simple video but full of great information! Watching and learning... Thanks Vagabrothers
Great tips and information guys! Thank you so much 😊
Ohhh Yeah! Coming back to a CLEAN house is the BEST 💚💚💚
Hey.. Thank u for this video.. U both inspire a lot.. Love from INDIA
Thanks for the video, for myself I would have forgotten some parts!
LOVE ring products
Love ur videos
You both are doing great....
Thank you Gaurav 🙏🏼
Great ideas! I always clean my bathroom and change the sheets. Asking your neighbour to park in your lot if a great idea, never thought about that!
This is a great checklist! Thanks for organizing the obvious.
🙏🏼
Clean your room, do your bed, wash the dishes. Best feeling is returning to a clean home
Maybe if I do all this, it makes me feel so comfortable at home that I don´t want to go on a travel?!
We got the ring doorbell and it’s great! We’ve had an issue with the connection and sometimes the camera will work but not the doorbell. The physical connection looks perfect though. Anyone else had this issue?
Thanks for another awesome video!
I have the ring doorbell and it’s pretty useful!
*I love Ur videos* ❤️🔥
Can you guys make a winter carry on packing video?
I rarely do half of the things on your list, for shame! In the past we've returned to half dead plants, mouldy broccoli at the bottom of the fridge and I've been cut off I don't know how many times from my cards! Thanks for inspiring others to travel and follow in your footsteps, if you're ever in southern Spain again that's where you'll find us😁
Great ideas
Thank you for the great tips guys. My husband & I headed for an overseas trip & our power had tripped while we were gone & our freezer switched off, needless to say, we returned home & all our meat was rotten & our house stank to hell. It wasn't a good experience & we try to use up all our meat before a long overseas holiday now.
Greetings from South Africa
great tips!! i have to write out a list when it comes to travel of what to bring or else.....i will forget. i start the week before or the week off and just start getting things together and then making it down to the last minute stuff (brush, what not other stuff i still need to use before packing them) and then with it comes to my camera, i always make sure the memory card is completely cleared of any photos (always great to have a fresh memory card to use when taking lots of photos from your trip and don't have thousands of photos from past events and from the trip) and can start with day one. i always make sure i have full charged batteries. if the the place has a outlet, then i plan on bringing my camera battery charger and my phone charger, though i do have it charged in advance. sometimes i bring my laptop, sometimes i don't. even though some places are stocked with a bed and have pillows and blankets, i bring my own. i am a light sleeper and don't sleep too well if i'm not comfortable. i have a blanket that use to be my grandmas and i use it to place on the fitted sheet and can lay right on top of it. and i have a pillow i really like, it doesn't flatten like most pillows, stays in it's shape when you sleep on it. and i make sure i am kept plenty occupied or else....i can get very bored and antsy, especially when sitting in the backseat of a car for too long
I keep a list with to-dos for the trip+home and one for stuff inside the luggage, so that I don't forget stuff
Will there be a second season of Basic vs Baller? I really enjoyed watching
Excellent tips. 2 others - check your house and contents insurance policy - some companies have a limit on the number of days your house can be unoccupied and may require an additional premium. Also, clean toilets and leave the lids down to avoid flys leaving nasties upon your return, lol!!! Happy & safe travels. Ciao.😀
Cheers!
Oh yeah, my old landlord had a policy in the rental agreement too that we weren't allowed to leave the house for too long. It may have been just my cantankerous old landlord though rather than it being a normal thing?😁
@@the40thstep It's normal in the UK, Australia & New Zealand with all the big insurance companies. Probably the same in the USA - they all stick together!!! Ciao, Happy & safe travels.
Very Helpful and thoughtful.
Cheers Vikrant!
Good and original video idea! Thank you!
Thank you Madi! Glad you enjoyed :)
Hey guys, useful vlog! I put my house plants in the kitchen sink and in the bath tub. I stand them on unturned pots and cover the pots with dish towels. I then fill the sink or bath with water up to immediately below the plant pots. The cloths soak up the water and the plants take what they need and no more. Both dies of thirst or drowns. The risk is, though, the you come to love your bathtub with lush plants. My partner was not so thrilled at my suggestion to leave them there..... He loves a soak in the tub and it save me the money of buying new plants for the house. Travel well guys
Grab your camera and phone. And go.
Thanks for sharing guys!
A few more steps than that haha
Plzz watch full Video bro🤣🤣
🙄😂😂
So helpful 👍. I just leave my grandperents at my place while I'm gone 🤣
Awesome video vegabrothers
Thank you Sanjay!
I'm going to have a busy weekend before my flight on Wednesday
I always have a checklist of things to do and check before I leave for a trip. I do most things mentioned here: locked doors and windows, blinds down, unplug most devices, check tabs and sinks, throw away the trash. I always have a separate list for things I have to pack in the morning or before I leave for my flight like toothbrush, phone charger, passport, money etc.
I recommend using LED bulbs (e.g. from LFX) which offer an infra-red lighting mode to illuminate a dark house -- you of course need security cameras which have a good night vision mode.
Also, t-mobile offers a very reasonable international roaming plan with essentially unlimited data -- all for $90 a month. I travel internationally a lot and I never need to go into roaming mode. My Android phone has a wifi calling mode so as long as I have a wifi signal I can call to the US for free! (this isn't Skype it's my real GSM US number tunneled over wifi). So I can use my phone away from wifi and not have a huge roaming bill.
Hi Marco, love the red hat
I also set my thermostat up or down, depending on the season.
Always a good call!!
Hello! Great video!
Thank you!!
Another option is airbnb or house sitting. There is an app for both of those I believe. When I was gone for 8 weeks last summer I had someone house-sit there, you don't pay and it makes sure that your fur-children and plant-children stay safe.
You can go on the US postal service website and have them pause your mail.
Thank you
Thank you for watching and commenting Vlad!
Love from karachi bros😍😍😍
I always make sure I have something to eat in the freezer when I get back after a long haul flight. Nothing worse than jet lag and being hungry!
Love these practical tips guys... & was that Raglan at 0:52? Looks like home!
Keen eye Dan!
Guys, I'm obsessed with leaving my home secure. I do dumb thing as well, like hiding stuff and not being able to find them when I return. I'm solo, soooo....
Besides doing all your tips I also turn the water off. Larned that the hard way.
Alex stealing ice cream 😂
Thanks guys. Always enjoy. Annnd, at the risk of sounding gross, folks should flush their toilets, also. We had one of our kids have a last minute “stop “ and didn’t flush. ‘Nuff said. 😔
I have my father come stay, he looks after my fur baby and keeps the car running and he gets a break from my mum. My fur baby is less stressed being home and I know my house will be safe.
I turn off the water to prevent flooding if toilet or pipe breaks. Turn down furnace but not off to prevent pipes from freezing.
If you're in some parts of Canada and are travelling through the winter, make sure your pilot light in your furnace IS on! If the house gets too cold a pipe could burst and cause a lot of damage to your place :)
I also found out the hard way while traveling Japan for a month that AT&T charges iphones data for imessage texts to another iphone. Make sure to turn imessage off as well! (I came home to a massive $600 cell phone bill from sending photos to family, despite turning off all my data!!)
If in a condo, turn off the water to your toilets and washing machine and even under the sinks. Water leaks can destroy your home and even the condos below or above you. Some Insurance companies offer wireless water monitoring devices.
I always leave a scanned copy of my ID/passport with a family member (or trusted friend) just in case!
Great
Thank you!
Do you not still live together?
That’s a jaunty hat!
Justin I’m pretty sure that Alex now lives with his fiancé Carrie and left the house to Marko 👊🏻❤️🦅
These are such great tips!
P.S. I also make travel videos :)
I just pay my maid extra
My family members go away and leave me home alone in their houses. I eat their leftover food, feed their pets, water plants, tidy up the house and put clean sheets on beds, etc, and the house looks lived-in..oh yeah, the alarm is set for when I'm out and about. When I go away, I ask a friend to stay at my place a few nights a week and do the same for me, and yes he can eat my ice cream.
Come to colorado!!!
We’ve been many times but have yet to make any videos! Needs to be done
@@vagabrothers Would love to get lunch!
Iv expected something like some lfh with living, moving, important apps or smth like that
We have a Ring doorbell with camera and something unexpected is seeing critters (raccoons etc) roam by at night. Recently our internet was out for a few days and that meant no connection for Ring.
Haha I love it for wildlife viewing!
Great tips 👍
Are you two not roommates anymore?
Alex and Carrie making their nest?
Xoxo 👍♥️🇨🇦
Alisa Mehmal that is the impression I get. Carrie said recently on Instagram she had moved and she used “we” so I figure she and Alex had moved in together.
Clean your fridge out and run the garbage disposal. The latter I learned when I lost power for 2 weeks after a hurricane. It smelled awful.
How I prepare ....I stress then get on the flight and crash 😂😂
Can we get update on Lanka the dog
uzhair air atmosphere there are a lot of updates on Instagram! lucky_lanka
Ring this ring that ring a ding ding we got the ring okay just saying
Here's one I have learned from experience: make sure your toilets are flushed!!!!
Hahaah oh god!
I have 2 small boys and this is a must!! They never flush!
You fellas are slowly morphing into the same guy.
I used to think they looked NOTHING alike, like how are they brothers ?!? I swear now they’re almost the same person.
Give your keys to a dubious friend and let everyone on Facebook know you have a free house.
Alright, so their house is now Mark's house, Alex is making baby jokes... Other than the engagement, do you two have any other updates to make? Otherwise great, fun video as always
First!
Yes Barnali!!
@@vagabrothers Finally!
Hai Vaga bros...Good to see you...Your videos are useful to gain the job offer...I have completed MA.B.Ed in English in chennai from India. I wish to get teaching English job offer in South Korea...could you tell process??? Thank you
Turn off water to dish washer.
It's an ad thats why saying the obvious
Take your phone. That's it.
😂
Dont forget the charger though!!
Come Pakistan
See natural beauty of Pakistan
I really like your videos. But you guys could use some styling tips for videos. That red hat is just distracting and its making your complexion appear redder then it is.
Is this targeted for 5 year old traveling overseas 🙄I would hate to meet anyone who does not have the common sense to do any of theses tasks.
5:40 “There’s nothing worse than coming home to a stinky house.”
5:53 “Nothing is worse than coming home to a mess when you are jet lagged.”
Yeah, nothing in the whole world is worse. Not climate change or poverty or violent crime or human trafficking or disease or poaching or any other number of society’s ills. It’s stinky, messy Southern California bungalows after a bougie trip abroad. Yeesh. 🙄
This is a great comment because the title reads "How to Cure the Ills of the World Created By Humans"
