  • [S] We've spent the last eight years

  • Traveling A LOT and with that we've done some mistakes with what we've been packing

  • and we've learned many new things but over these past few months

  • Martina and I have spent a lot of time trying to perfect our travel kit

  • and today we are going to tell you the BEST WAY that you could pack your luggage

  • For a trip. You could use some of this you could use all of this

  • Hopefully you won't use none of this, but this is gonna be very useful

  • Martina take it away.

  • [M]Tag me in!

  • *slap*

  • ow!

  • [S] God! did that hurt you, too?!

  • [M] You clapped a bone joint on that one!

  • We're gonna start with what we call our Airbnb and cheap hotel kit if you can afford to stay at a five-star hotel every time

  • You travel, you don't have to worry about this stuff

  • You can be like Hotel *clap, clap* Get me things I need but if you're traveling and staying in Airbnb

  • It's like we are or if you're staying a business hotels that just have like the basics

  • This kit's gonna save ya, you call that a knife . This is a knife actually. It's not a knife. It's a knife sharpener

  • It's really nifty super teeny tiny and small

  • *sword unsheathing*

  • It's basically just like a granite file and on the other side

  • *sword unsheathing*

  • There a little tiny baby one

  • For sharpening other knives through it

  • We have been to enough Airbnb s where the knives were like cutting Tomatoes with your elbows

  • It was like taking a spoon and jamming it all over yourself

  • It is so frustrating that people don't have sharp knives, which is why we travel with a knife sharpener

  • and of course

  • Leave them a little note to let them know you've sharpened their knives just in case they expect it to be dull.

  • I like coffee. I NEED coffee.

  • I CANNOT SURVIVE WITHOUT MY COFFEE

  • so these any weenie coffee filters can fit inside your

  • Purse and basically they go on top of a cup you fold them under and they puff down to form a little tiny paper filter

  • And I'll usually bring pre-ground coffee with me now

  • This is an arrow press or as we call the Swedish penis

  • Enlargement pump and if you don't get that you need to go watch Austin Powers again...

  • **Austin Powers impression** That's not mine, baby

  • I've never seen that before in my life, baby.**

  • **Back to normal voice**All British people around the world are cringing *Laughing*

  • At my British accent. This weird contraption can make up to four shots of espresso

  • I can explain how this works if you're interested later on

  • but for now...

  • Look at this interesting thing. You're intrigued aren't you?

  • A Teenie weanie sewing kit with tiny fold up scissors!

  • There have been a lot of times where you least expect it when a a button bust off something and you have no way to actually fix it

  • Doesn't that happen to everyone?

  • you're putting on your shirt and you're like

  • Ahhh!

  • the button goes *button hits floor*

  • No?

  • [S] Everyone... [M] everyone, right?

  • It happens to me like four times. Oh my god....

  • you need sewing kits in your life.

  • How can I help you Tiny boy,?

  • S as Spudgy: I want more water.

  • I just filled it for you like 10 seconds ago

  • Airbnb s often don't have wine openers and

  • We have resorted to things... to try to open up our bottles of wine including Googling how to open wine

  • *Typing sound effect*

  • It didn't go well

  • Oooo Ahhh

  • It's my miniature bar!

  • Alright packed in here, I have a tiny bottle of bitters.

  • I have a tiny bottle of tonic syrup

  • I've got a

  • Miniature shot glass and I've got a spoon that has both a muddler

  • and a stir stick along with a pack of brown sugar

  • And the only other interesting thing I have here is this which is my homemade chai syrup. What's that?

  • I'm glad you asked...

  • This is one of those perfume filler cases that have a very distinct word that I can't remember anymore

  • Diffusers or...

  • [S] Spritzer?

  • [M] Spritzer? No, there's a name for the ones that you can buy to like refill your perfume

  • [S] Uh, vibrator

  • [M] Uh, yes, that's it

  • Make a chai tea syrup on the stovetop using equal parts sugar and water to make a simple syrup

  • and then I soaked Chai tea bags in them for many many hours

  • and then I drain them and I use it for cocktails

  • REALLY nice with an old fashioned you can also use this for your tea and coffee because there's no alcohol in this

  • it's just Chai tea syrup, and it's delicious

  • That is AMAZING and I can't believe I've never tried that before and

  • And last up is a little bit of a comfort food

  • These are little instant miso soups

  • Now everything in this comfort kit is tailored to OUR needs

  • We like to drink, we like miso soup

  • We like coffee, but make sure you pack something in your kit as well that can give you that comfort of home

  • Ducky you're up! *slap*

  • Ooh, look at that

  • We have lightning cables, Micro SD cables, I have the USBC cable, little SD card reader for whenever we take pictures

  • I love this kit so much, boys. We have a little travel plug adapter because every country has their own different thing

  • I love this one right here, five different USB ports. You can plug into I have my own laptop charger as well

  • So these are all doubles of everything that I need regularly

  • but I have it this way so that it's set in this bag

  • I never have to think about it again when I come home

  • And I have to unpack or when I'm about to pack. I never have to worry

  • Travel pajamas. Yes, I traveled with pajamas and I sleep in pajamas!

  • Gosh! just because I'm trying to reproduce my entire home when I travel *laughing*

  • [M] Is it really? Why? These are comfortable pajamas! What if the house is cold? Or the hotel has those weird suchely pajamas?

  • They're so cute! They've got pineappers on them! And they double as a shirt in case you didn't pack enough clothing.

  • [S] Quick! Sir!

  • Okay, that's it except for this pepto. This is special liquid anti diarrhea medication *laughing*

  • Diarrhea after diarrhea. Listen, my tummy gets upset frequently. I think I throw up twice a month. That's what we've discovered

  • My stomach is always all over the place and we have been to enough countries to discover that they all have different names for things

  • And you're totally screwed. Remember, Australia?

  • [S] Yeah!

  • I threw up the whole flight to Australia

  • Because I'm Martina and then when I landed all I wanted was Pepto and the people are like, what are you talking about?

  • And we're like Pink Bismuth? and everyone's like "What?" and we showed pictures and we did dances...

  • couldn't find it anywhere ;-;

  • Alright, that's enough about poop

  • *Embarrassed laughter*

  • Err....it....doesn't even matter...

  • [M] Did you pack any underwear?

  • You know what...sometimes...

  • you do and sometimes you don't....

  • The point is I have these specifically just for travel. I never have to worry about it again

  • I just grabbed this bag and when I come back from travel

  • I just throw it all in the laundry never ever ever ever have to think about your travel underwear again

  • It's so important! Buy extra travel underwear.

  • Yes! That is taking it a step too far.

  • Some of you are like.."Hold on, I barely have enough underwear to make through the week"

  • So a couple years ago Simon and I switched over totally to Kindle which has been SO much more amazing for us

  • But recently, I've been having a really hard time holding up my devices because of my EDS getting worse

  • It hurts my elbows, my shoulders, my fingers... so I actually recently switched over to Audible

  • Thank you guys so much for that suggestion because a little while ago

  • I was taking a bath and I was talking about how my shoulders get sore

  • And someone said you should definitely be getting into Audiobooks

  • which leads me to this...

  • Thank you Audible for sponsoring this video!

  • If you do not know about the power of audiobooks for those of us with achy arms!

  • [M] *laughing*

  • They're just TERRIBLE, terrible pillows

  • And you NEED to be able to sleep well...

  • So WE always pack travel pillows with us.

  • Just we could guarantee that we have a good sleep...

  • because honestly... other people's pillows suck...

  • You know this, you've slept in other people's houses

  • and their pillows suck.

  • Unless you're young and you can sleep on anything. That's fine

  • but for us DAINTY folk
