Heyo! Mitch and Day here 👋🏼
We’re just your typical American-Colombian couple determined to live every second of our precious time here on earth to the fullest. After a 10-month solo backpacking trip through South America, I (Mitch) stopped in Cali, Colombia to take salsa dancing classes 💃🏻. I only planned to stay for a couple weeks, but God had other plans for me. I met a cute Colombian girl (Day) in class, those couple weeks turned into a couple years, and before we knew it...we were married 👰🏻🤵🏼
Now we’re traveling the world full time as digital nomads, supporting ourselves by working online 👨‍💻👩‍💻
Our goal with these videos is to inspire you to step outside your comfort zone, give you an inside peek at our crazy imperfect lives, and show you that you don’t have to be rich to live an extraordinary life...all you need to do is make the choice!

Probably my best travel hack or tip deals with being broke, brilliant and personal hygiene necessitates. Pick up a package of regular old sponges and ziplock bags at the dollar store and head home. Place any liquid hygiene products like shampoo, body wash, dish soap, aloe, laundry detergent, etc you need to bring on the trip with you on a counter workspace. Line your sponges up (on top of baggie) and using one sponge per hygiene product pour a small amount of the liquid directly onto it. Allow that to fully absorb into the sponge and then repeat the process until either the sponge is full or you have enough of the needed product for the duration of your trip. Place sponge into the baggie and only seal the bag halfway at most. Let them sit out overnight so the liquid dries inside the sponge. Either cut the sponge into cubes for daily use or leave in one piece to cut once you’ve reached your destination. Make sure the baggies are fully sealed before packing them. Now all you need is a bit of water to “reactivate the sponge soaked product. Doing this saves an amazing amount of space and weight. Thank you and I really hope this helps. ❤ from Shannon in Canada 🇨🇦 PS there are countless other items you can do this with and definitely don’t need to be hygiene related.

Travel tips: Take a low dose aspirin before your fight to prevent blood clots. Clean out your sock drawer before you pack and take “one way socks.” Throw them away as you wear them on the trip. No smelly socks to worry about and more room in your suitcase as the trip progresses. Clorox wipes in a ziplock to clean the plane’s tray table and seatbelt. Email a picture of your passport and IDs to yourself.

I love travel hacks to reduce luggage as I only travel with personal items, even internationally. I put duct tape on a pen (instead of a deo), as I keep pens, tape, safety pins etc in the same container. I have been doing the neck support as a packing hack for about 15 years, it's a game changer. I sometimes use a teddy and put clothes in it. It doubles as a pillow. I use small microfiber towels instead of towels to dry off, they save so much space. To reduce luggage, I do 'wash, wear and spare'. I've never had a problem of not having anything to wear. I save samples of face cream, perfume samples etc to reduce the amount of products I need to bring.

@ProjectUntethered Месяц назад

Such good tips! In our last trip, I switched out my big microfiber towel for a tiny one, and it saves so much space. The big one was nice when we used to stay in hostels because I could use it as a privacy curtain on my bed, but my hostel days are over for the most part.

No matter how much you can jam into your packing cubes, many airlines have weight restrictions for carry-ons and personal items.

@nofaves День назад

The last time I flew Southwest, we were told that travel pillows were considered one of the two pieces of carry-on we were allowed. The gate agent warned us all that only two things can be carried, so everything else you had in your hands had to fit INSIDE one of those two items. Not clipped on, because that makes the carry-on larger than the allowed size. You were spot-on, though, with the travel jacket idea. That is indeed the third item that passengers can bring aboard, since it's considered clothing and not luggage.

@chrissyherrick 19 дней назад

I use extra hotel soaps that I've received at past stays that I like and break them into smaller pieces for the number of days I'm staying at each future place. For example, bigger for a 2 day stay versus a one day stay. I keep them in a baggie until I need to use them and throw them away if any is left after use. I figure this is easier than worrying about making sure it's dry enough. I have an allergy to mold so this method works for me better.

@JGDD7190 Месяц назад

My best soap trick is to use a small ziplock bag, you can find them in the beading section at Hobby Lobby. I put my wet soap in the ziplock, but do not seal it completely so that the water can evaporate allowing the soap to dry. I cut a small piece of the soap off to travel with so I'm not wasting space with a large bar of soap. I agree carabiner hooks are the best, I always carry a small one in my purse. In addition to what you mentioned that can be used to secure a zipper (even on a purse) to prevent pick pockets.

@brimstone33 24 дня назад

Yeah I think the ziplock bag wears out pretty quickly on longer trips. I got one of those Matador bags, and I put my soap and conditioner bars in the same bag, each in a small mesh pouch. I also keep teeny tiny suction hooks in there to hang the bags on the shower wall. The Matador bags are stupid expensive, I'm pretty sure you could make something similar with a tiny piece of Tyvek house wrap material taped into a bag. That house wrap stuff is supposed to be vapor permeable.

Although I love the carabiner and extra packing bag idea for those extra layers, probably wouldn't work for the budget airlines I use in Europe, as they can check at the gate, and my tiny allowable carry on bag is already packed full. What I've been doing is buying something I need at the airport (sometimes it's just water and snacks) but get a bigger airport bag, and then put my extra layer things in there, usually under any purchases. They are required to allow an airport purchase bag on so I haven't had any problems with this, plus I have legitimate purchases in the bag.

You should have seen the look on the hotel Porter's face recently when I told him there were no bags. It was a four day work event including a semi formal awards dinner. I absolutely did not want to check any luggage. So I rolled and tucked, and took only a carry-on acceptable backpack. I got everything in there including dress shoes, make up, bath products, and hair styling tools! When I got out of the taxi, he came running to grab my pack, and said he'd get my bags out of the trunk for me. He was so shocked, double checked I was with the awards group, then called a couple of the other guys to see that I'd only brought the one backpack. I guess other women arrived with much more. 🤷

Place a bar of soap into the toe of one "knee high" panty hose. Tie a knot next to the soap so it stays in one place. Make a loop at the other end of the knee high panty hose and hang around shower head. Rub wet washcloth or shower poof across soap to build up lather. Soap won't fall onto the floor of the shower, and it will air dry as it hangs. Don't forget your soap when you check out! You can store it in a ziploc bag between destinations if it's still a little damp.

I dry my wet soap on toilet paper, or on my dirty clothes. Or if I'm going home, on my towel. My towel is a Mountain Warehouse, Clip Travel Towel. It's ultra thin, tiny to pack, is ultra quick drying, and can be wrung out when it gets saturated. I've tried lots of the other microfiber ones, and in comparison the microfiber ones are slightly more comfortable to use, but 4 times the pack size, don't dry as fast and get smelly for anything more than 3 days travel. It might be similar to the Sea to Summit Airline towel, but way cheaper. I've even got one the size of a face cloth (30cm X 30cm) that packs down to the size of a match box. I've also got the neck pillow stuffed with t-shirts 👍 Your deodorant (with or without duct tape wrapped around it) is the biggest one I've ever seen. I use "Trust long life deodorant", and one application lasts me about 5 days (showering once a day), the 15g capsule container lasts about a year or so. It's amazing. My niece gave me some solid after shave/cologne recently, and I've taken it travelling lots. Very small. My normal shave kit is a safety razor, but I often use a BIC disposable if I'm traveling on hand luggage only. The stiptic pencil in my shaving kit is good for (shaving) cuts (of course), but also for deodorant at a pinch. I always take a couple of releasable/reusable zip ties too. Nice video.

Great video as usual. I always enjoy them. Plus one for the matador flatpak. It's great for carrying soap. It allows the soap to dry while keeping everything else from getting wet and folds down smaller as the soap gets used up.

@ProjectUntethered Месяц назад

Yeah I totally agree! I've been using it ever since I recorded this video and love it!

@hodgepodge3414 15 дней назад

Super Terrific Hacks! Can't wait to use them! You're videos are awesome! I do have a question as I am a little confused.. Do you wear your fanny pack AND have a 'personal item' AND have a 'carry on'? How do you make it work? Isn't a fanny pack considered a 'personal item'?? Please let us know! Thanks so much for your response!

@ProjectUntethered 14 дней назад

I usually keep my fanny pack low-key so it's not really visible. You can wrap it around the back of your waist and/or cover it with a jacket while you're at the checkin counter, just in case 🤫

One thing I notice is that your clothing is all nylon. I think the packing cube works well for wrinkle free, synthetic clothing. Show us a video where you use cotton clothing. Thank you. Regarding charging cords or headsets, I just roll mine around my hand and secure with a twist ties wrapped several times around in a spiral, those go into a designated sandwich bag that I can see through, and the air can be pushed out

@ProjectUntethered 14 дней назад

That's a great tip! Yeah I'm not a big cotton fan for travel clothes, you gotta be more careful if you don't want wrinkles - but it's still possible!

If you’re flying, you probably need more than a contact lens case full of solution of anything from makeup to lotion to face wash to sunscreen. a contact lens worth is good for maybe one overnight and if you’re only traveling that much you’re probably not flying and don’t need to restrict yourself a thumb size amount of product

I roll red duct tape around itself. Used it to identify a new suitcase after my old one broke on a trip. I keep it in a tiny zipper bag in my personal item with other useful travel stuff (a dose of meds for headache, stomach, etc), safety pin, zipper pull repair, 2 each bandaid, 2 blister patches, & butterfly bandages. antiseptic wipes & other fixes while away from home. It goes in my daily carry when not on plane/train/etc.

@ProjectUntethered Месяц назад

Very smart! You could kill 2 birds with one stone if you have a plastic handle on your suitcase - you could add the emergency duct tape which doubles as a unique identifier for your luggage. I love how the comments sections always has amazing ideas I'd never thought of!

Unfortunately, most US airlines no longer allow anything attached on the outside of your bag or your body (like a pillow around your neck). I bought a couple of magazines in the airport and even had to put that bag inside my suitcase.

@ProjectUntethered 12 дней назад

Wow that is so dumb - airlines will stop at nothing to figure out ways to squeeze more money out of customers. Where in the airport did they make you put the magazines in your suitcase - was that when you were boarding?

@robinnogle6747 12 дней назад

When they started the boarding process, they announced several times that you could only bring on two items. Pillows around neck, fanny packs, shopping bags even from airport vendors, and anything attached to the outside of the suitcase had to be put inside of another item. I saw them stop a couple people and made them put their purse, pillow, or whatever, inside their bag before they could board. It’s been this way for a while, but some airlines just started really enforcing it recently. I wasn’t even thinking about my “extra bag,” since they previously announced the plane was less that 1/3 full and everybody could have their own row if they chose to. My most recent flight was on Southwest, so it wasn’t even a money issue because they don’t even charge for checked bags.

A small compression cube slips into outer pockets of carry-ons or backpacks really nicely because they are slippery and have a hand loop to recover them for use.

The carabiner extra bag. Go to a store in the airport. Get them to give you a branded bag ( schipol used to have " see buy fly " ones). Apparenly the luggage limit does not include " i bought things in the airport". Food places are good places for bags too.

@MaraMara89 День назад

You can cut pieces of soap small enough to use one a day or if you stay at one place - cut a piece that would last whole stay and you don't have to worry about getting it back home. Unfortunately in Europe our bags (quantity) are checked while getting on the plane, so having extra cube or plastic bag outside your personal item would not be possible.

I totally agree! That 7kg gets eaten up pretty fast if you need to bring a computer/work stuff though. It also helps to use a backpack instead of a suitcase, which usually weigh more with the wheels and frame.

I don't get the compression cube hype for carry on only travel - the problem is weight, not volume, and compression doesn't help at all. Hence the need to travel LIGHT.

@RENEESKATES Месяц назад

Yes I would like to see a carryon packed with the ranger roll method!

@HR-wd6cw 6 дней назад

The only thing about the packing cube is that many airlines now will consider the backpack a carry-on and the packing cube a personal item, so if you have those two PLUS a regular carry-on they may make you check your bag, so I would say le`ave the stuff in your pockets and keep your layers on UNTIL you get on the plane, then unload it into the packing cube. Taht way once your bag is in the overhead bin (your actual carry-on) they can't do much and you can probably slip the filled packing cube along with your backpack under the seat.

@ProjectUntethered 6 дней назад

Yeah that would be the way to go if you want to be extra safe. I haven't had a problem at the boarding gate so far, but I don't fly in the US very often, so YMMV.
