27 Travel Hacks Everyone Should Know

What takes you more time? Getting ready for travel or travel itself? Watch this video to know how to pack your backpack and save space. My friend and I are going to travel. Well I'm making a must-have list not to leave anything at home. My friend's busy making her favorite playlist. She'd better start packing her backpack. A player's a bad substitution for a toothbrush. Okay then. I'm a real pro in preparing for journeys. It's magic. I snap my fingers and things get stuffed in my backpack immediately. Besides, I know a few clever hacks. For example, to put your favorite perfume into a glove to protect the vial from breaking. I'm done! But my friend doesn't seem to be in a hurry to get ready for the journey. She's busy filing her nails, doing her hair, and liking her photos on Instagram. I wish you could put your likes in your backpack. Do you think Instagram can pack your backpack? Oh dear. What's the time? I need to pack everything quickly. How does my friend manage it? She snaps her fingers. It doesn't work. It seems there's something wrong with my snap. It's not fair. Okay. Let's try to cram everything into my backpack. Oh my god! Why do I have so many clothes? But I can't go without this shawl. And without this blouse. Or this dress. Come on guys. I need to put all of you in. Oh no! I've completely forgotten about my makeup. I need a separate bag for it. I'm afraid I'll never do that. It's great my friend knows a lot of travel hacks. She'll help me get ready in time. Do your makeup bottles take too much space in your backpack? Pour them into smaller bottles. Take off the top. Cover the spout with plastic wrap. Put on the top. Cut off the excess wrap. Repeat for all the mini tubes. This will prevent the makeup from leaking out into your backpack. It's an excellent trick. Another good idea is to take samples of your favorite makeup. They won't take up too much space either. Coffee is an essential thing in any travel, isn't it? But what should you do if it appears to be too expensive and tasteless in airports or at railway stations? We've got the solution! Take tea filter bags. Put in your ground coffee. If you don't have tea filter bags, you can use filled tea bags. Open the bags. Transfer the tea to another container and use it at home. Fill the bags with coffee and pull up the thread. My friend enjoys her homemade coffee. I know she has a lot of coffee bags in her backpack. I ask her to give me a flavored one. You can also take a few coffee sticks to use during your journey. Put them into your thermos bottle. You can enjoy your favorite coffee all the way long. Besides, you'll save your money as boiling water is free of charge everywhere. Money is an essential thing in any travel. It's crucial to know how to spend it and where to hide it. We know a few places safer than a purse. Deodorant, for example. Take an almost empty stick of antiperspirant. Twist it against the stop. Take out the stick. Fold a banknote and put it into a Ziploc bag. Tuck it into the container. Put the stick back. No one will suspect there's money inside. Don't sweat it. Your money won't be stolen. What else can we use? A cream jar? Put a folded banknote into an empty cream jar. Put on the top. No one will guess you keep your money in a cream jar. Just don't mix up your makeup with the money container. You can also use shorts. Oh, I hope she doesn't take them off right now. Aha, there's another hiding place in them. Let's sew down a stash pocket into your shorts. Turn your shorts inside out. Take a piece of cloth, fold it in half. Fold up the edge. Sew it down to the inside of the shorts pocket. Stitch the sides. Sew the stash pocket across the perimeter. Leave a hole to put in money. Keep your money close to your body. If you want to have your money always with you, keep it with your phone. It's a good idea to keep your money in a phone case. Take it off your phone. Sandwich the folded banknote between your phone and the case. Be careful not to spend all your money at once on international calls. Do you want to take all your favorite jewelries with you? Then you should have an idea where to put them. Maybe to wear them all at once? Why not? In this way, your necklaces, bracelets, and hair ties won't get tangled, and you'll never lose your earrings. But you'll definitely be mistaken for a gypsy. My friend knows a perfect life hack. She has a lot of containers to put in the jewelries. Any plastic container of a medium size will perfectly fit large jewelries. But where should I put all my hair ties and bobby pins? Don't worry. We've got a tic-tac box. Put all your little hair clips, bobby pins, and hair ties into a tic-tac box. Now your bobby pins won't be scattered out into your makeup bag. Use an empty cream jar as well. Put your bead bracelet, earrings, and pendants into a clean cream jar. Just remember where you keep your jewelries and where you put your money. A pill box is another cool idea for keeping your tiny jewelries. Take a pill box. Put your jewelries into the box units. You can change your accessories every day. Still missing enough containers for all your small stuff? Use a mini plastic box. Put your rings and big earrings into a little box. Now each of your jewelries has its own place. Nothing will get tangled or lost. I'd also like to keep several nail polishes on hand, but there's a chance that the bottles will break during the travel. Turbulence should be taken into account. Use Ziploc bags. Put all your beauty products and glass bottles into Ziplocs. Even if something goes wrong and your nail polish bottles break up, the rest of your stuff will stay clean. If you've made up your mind to take a perfume vial, put it into a Ziploc bag. Put silicone pads on each side of the bottle. Elastic silicone protects your favorite perfume from breaking. By the way, a pencil-like plastic vial can be a perfect way out. Pour your perfume from a big bottle into a little pencil-like one. You'll never break such a bottle, even if you toss it. Make it easy. Fold up your clothes, pack it into a Ziploc, and spray it with your perfume. As a result, your clothes will get the fragrance. It'll allow you to leave a huge perfume bottle at home. What should I do with toothpaste? I've got an idea. Let's make a little envelope. Squeeze a few drops of toothpaste onto foil. When dry, fold up an envelope. Just before use, take the toothpaste with your toothbrush and soak it with water. I'm really very proud of my invention. I show it to my friend, but she doesn't share my enthusiasm. She proposes taking a little tube of toothpaste, and no special post is required. Yes, perhaps it's a better idea, but I like my little pretty envelope so much. Did you know you can hide your money in your shoes? Take an insole out and put in a Ziploc with money. A cute little caterpillar will help us do that. Well done. Thanks. Shoo, put the insole back. Remember that you've put in the money when you make up your mind to wash your sneakers. Are you going for a long walk? Put special silicone pads into your shoes. They'll make your long walk more comfortable. There are pads both for closed and open toe shoes. Wipes, cotton pads, and Q-tips. Everything is scattered all over your backpack. I know where to keep them. Put your wipes and cotton pads into your shoes. You'll save so much space in your backpack, whereas your shoes will keep shape better. Put chargers, cables, and earphones into your shoes as well. You'll spare space and keep cords from tangling. If you're out of a special travel shoe bag, use a shower cap. Put the cap on the soles of your shoes. Turn it inside out before taking a shower. You'd also like to take a fork and a spoon with you. Let's combine the two. Take a plastic spoon. Cut out little sharp teeth across the edge. A cute little monster is ready. Don't like this combination? Make another. Attach a fork to a spoon. Hot glue the plastic cutlery by their handles. Wow, what a practical thing. It's the right time to go. I'm going to use my travel magic. Scarf, coat, cap, backpack. It works. I want to get dressed as quickly as my friend. Well, let's try. Coat, scarf, backpack. Ah, it's something wrong with my magic today. Should I stay or should I go? Don't forget to take pictures of all your tickets, papers, and luggage.
