    My tip for travel and to manage travel-related stress is noise cancelling headphones. Being able to just put my headphones on, put on some music that relaxes me, and drown out the noise and cacophony (works great if there are crying babies on airplanes) helps me manage stress while traveling. Also works great if I can't sleep in a hotel or hostel because of all the noise inside and out of the building.

    Good tips! I'm about to travel to Asia in just a few days! ... and am returning home to the US on Christmas day! .. because of the time zones, I'll be starting off celebrating Christmas while in Singapore, and when I hop off here in the US, it will be Christmas morning, once again!

    I flew the day after thanksgiving (kind of an odd time) this past weekend and key for me: bring extra snacks! My flight was delayed and I’m glad I didn’t have to rely on airport food that wasn’t appealing.

  • @Erik_The_Viking
    @Erik_The_Viking Před 4 lety

    Excellent tips! Flying on XMAS day is awesome - empty airports and often near empty planes too. I always carry light with my Osprey Farpoint 40, which has plenty of room. The basics I always pack in my carry-on for every flight:
    1) Toothbrush/toothpaste
    2) Any medications/aspirin/etc.
    3) A quick change of clothes just in case (shirt, underwear, socks, etc.)
    4) Inflatable travel pillow
    5) Small bottle of liquid soap, alcohol gel, wet wipes
    6) Travel towel

    I had to fly back to the US for a family emergency in 2010 in December. I also found it cheaper to fly back to the UK on the 24th! It was great. My flight was empty and so was Heathrow when I landed. The only downside was no public transportation!

    @renaemosley2274 Před 4 lety

    Travel over holidays that do not occur in every country. For example, In Australia no one travels around Thanksgiving because it doesn't exist. So it would get a great opportunity to travel to see Australia just before the heat wave of summer hits. A lot less touristy than Gatlinburg or Opry Resorts. Totally agree with being in the airport on Christmas day. I have flown home three time on New Years Eve cue music I am getting drunk on a plane.

      vagabrothers definitely, I’ve shown both of your Quebec series to anyone I’ve tried to convince to go to Quebec. Got ideas from you as well cuz I did the zipline at the montmorency falls & went to Cassa Monna et filles for their black currant wine, def great tips & great places to go.

    • @katymaloney

      Yay, French Canada! My homeland. :) The whole province is fun in winter, there's so much to do and see!

    • @oj1914
      @oj1914 Před 4 lety

      Kate Malone ouais! I love Quebec. I go back as much as I can! Usually once a year. People always ask me why I keep going back, I’m like “have you been there?” Haha... you’ve left?

    • @katymaloney
      @katymaloney Před 4 lety +1

      No, I'm still in the province! I live in a nice quiet town outside Montreal, not quite a suburb, not quite the countryside. It's nice for nature photography, cider and all sorts of activities, ranging from hiking a mountain to boating in the summer to visiting a gallery or a museum or antiquing, there's something for everyone in almost every region! If you're going to Quebec city, and you've never been, try a day trip on Orleans Island. There's food and drinks tours available for really reasonable prices, the chocolate factory I hear is pretty sweet (pun intended! haha). The first french settlers in the Quebec area settled the island shortly after establishing a port in Quebec City, almost every person of french canadian ancestry today has roots there, it's still farmed to this day, and I'm sure it's pretty in the winter, albeit maybe a little windy! lol

    My T-Mobile phone already does WiFi calling (GSM tunnel over WiFi) and my plan offers unlimited cellular data when I’m away from WiFi. It may be throttled to 2G but it’s a lifeline when you’re trying to find your way via google maps.
    I also always carry a stand alone GPS (Garmin) which doesn’t need a data connection to get map data (but it still can get FM real-time traffic data). Newer models can use your phone’s data connection via Bluetooth to get traffic and other data. Very handy in a rental car where there’s no cell service.

    Use wet wipes to wipe down your area on the plane. Staff rarely clean surfaces. Don't cough into your hands, cough into the pit of your elbow.

    Arrive early at the airport to allow enough time for unexpected things, bring an e-reader to spend waiting time meaningfully, and avoid your relatives as much as you can.

    Is there any way of avoiding being humiliating in customs? You stand being bellowed at by a customs official while trying to make sure your valeables are safe as they go through. I shudder at the meer mention of customs

    Longtime subscriber here-love you guys and your videos-BUT…I hate to see that you’ve given in to the trend of talking away from the camera. Alex has a very handsome profile, but I don’t want to see it while he’s talking to me. It’s way more charming and personal when you guys just look into the camera and talk to your viewers as if we were your friends. Just saying.
