25 Amazing Travel Hacks For The Road Warrior [0:00:00]
So, I'm doing the research for today's video and this traveler hack kept popping
up about marking your luggages fragile, so the airlines will treat it better.
That is complete BS.
I've got a huge list of awesome travel hacks whether you're flying in an airplane, staying
at a hotel.
If you are a road warrior, you're going to love today's video.
[Music] Dress well.
I'm not going to say you need to wear a suit, I'm not going to say that this is
going to get you upgraded to first class, but I will say that when you dress respectable,
you will be treated with more respect.
And you're going to interact with a lot of people, when you go to grab a coffee, when
you go to get in line to get on the airplane, when you arrive at the hotel, you want to
look the part of a success, you want to look the part of a respectable person, so you are
treated with respect.
Now, that being said, I know suits aren't going to work for everybody, so what do you
do when you've got to dress down when you've got to dress casually, but you still want
to look sharp?
Guys, it's all about the style pyramid – fit, fabric, function.
Everything you put on your body needs to fit you.
So, once you nailed the fit, and, yes, casual clothing you can pay to get it adjusted, but
it's better to buy off the rack when it fits you.
Let's look now at fabric.
So, when you're looking at fabrics, you want to go with fabrics that don't look
worn.
So, if you've worn something for years and it looks like you've worn it for years,
get rid of it, look to upgrade.
Now, what to do with colors?
In general, I like it where we've got darker colors when we're traveling, protects against
stains, but you can bring a brighter color.
You notice how this bright color right here draws attention to the face, to the eyes,
that's what you want when you're communicating with people.
Next up, the function.
Again, if the function calls for it, you environment out work is a casual environment, if you were
to wear a suit, it's just going to stand out, then that's when you wanted to do that,
but you can still look great.
Maybe bring a nice accessory.
Why not bring, you know, if you like your earrings, if you like a necklace, whatever
it is to help set you apart.
Next up, know your regulations.
Ignorance is not going to get you through to security.
You may not know that you can't take a tomahawk or a ka-bar on a flight.
Guess what, guys?
It's not getting through security.
But some of you guys maybe saying, okay, I've heard that if I freeze a bottle of water,
I'm going to get through security.
To me, that's kind of pushing it because it has to be frozen when you're going through
security.
I would rather just take an empty bottle and then fill it up when I'm on the other side.
So, that last point about the restrictions, obviously, I'm joking about the ka-bar and
the tomahawk, but I'm not joking about knowing the restrictions because I find that they
change all the time and they're getting tighter, it's getting frustrated.
One way around it a hack is to actually have clothing that has tons of pockets on it.
This is basically a carry on.
Let me explain.
So, this is made by SCOTTeVest, the paid sponsor of today's video and I love this company.
It's amazing.
So, this jacket right here is the revolution plus jacket and I absolutely love it, so it's
a very warm jacket.
I just love this because it is so functional.
I'm actually just so excited to get this, guys.
I've got an awesome deal for you down in the description, the best discount code you're
going to find for this company.
By the way, this hoodie right here is their piece of gear as well.
This is their cotton hoodie.
It's got twenty one pockets and it can even fit an iPad.
This right here is known as their SJ Qzip.
It's a lightweight versatile sweater.
It's got three pockets.
And they're vest, I absolutely love this RFID travel vest.
So, it's got twenty six pockets and notice I said RFID because that's going to protect
your credit card.
Guys, I'm linking to SCOTTeVEST down in the description with the best discount code
you're going to find out there.
It's a functional piece of gear with tons of pockets.
SCOTTeVEST has you covered.
Next up, wear your bulkiest clothing when you're traveling by air, it's going to
free up room in your luggage, it's going to save you on weight, and it gives you a
lot of options when you're traveling from that incredibly hot terminal to that incredibly
freezing airplane.
Now, when it comes to shoes, understand your shoes have a lot of weight and they can be
very bulky.
But, it would be nice wouldn't they if they actually didn't have laces, if they could
slip on and off.
So, if you're just a seasoned traveler you go through a lot of airport security, make
sure to get a slip-on.
Now, they've got Chelsea boots that's another great option if you like boots, but
right here, we've got a double monk strap, you can look at some loafers, but this makes
it very easy to go in and out of security without having to lace anything up.
And, don't forget to check in with the airline, the rules are very different.
So, I was over in Ukraine and apparently I needed to check in with the airline two hours
before not at the airport because when I check in at the airport, they said, oh, you missed
the deadline, you get to pay an extra $30.
So, guys, be careful of fees like these.
And what can you do?
You just got to pay it to get on the airplane.
Your passport, your driver's license, take a picture and e-mail it to yourself.
If you lose your ID, if you get your wallet stolen, you'll at least going to have a
copy of your identification that can help you get through security.
Pack light.
Whether you take this bag, whether you take this bag, you're probably going to fill
any bag that you take.
Take a smaller bag and get everything in it versus taking a big bag and putting in all
these optional items.
Now, you're going to see hacks out there about rolling your clothing, I think that's
effective for certain pieces, but when it comes to jackets it comes to structured pieces,
you want to make sure to fold the jacket correctly.
If you need those tutorials, guys, I've got you covered with those videos down in
the description.
[0:05:04] Interchangeability.
Vvery shirt every jacket every pair of trousers every pair of shoes should work with every
other item you're going to take.
So, really quick let's talk about athletic gears.
Some people say I'm not going to take it because it's going to add extra weight bulk
to my luggage.
I get that, but how to save room when you're packing your athletic gear?
For me, I don't take extra socks, I just use the socks that I'll be wearing normally.
When it comes to my shorts, I don't take swim trunks.
I will use my running shorts as my swim trunks.
And when it comes to specialty shoes, I take my running shoes.
I know some of you guys got lifting shoes.
Actually, you could lift barefoot.
I know some gyms won't allow it, but if the gym will allow it you can just simply
be in your socks and you can do deadlifts and squats simply barefoot.
So, when I travel I always take a first aid kit.
You never know when you're going to get sick, you're going to get a fever, when
you're going to cut your finger and you need to stop the bleeding.
I think ever traveler should have a calling card that's going to have your name, going
to have your email, possibly going to have your address.
Use those cards, put them in your luggage, put tape on both sides and put it on the outside
of your luggage.
And, if you were to meet an amazing person, you don't have time to exchange information,
you give them the card and you can make a contact right there.
So, when I travel I take two forms of IDs and three credit cards.
The two forms of ID are my driver's license and my passport.
Now, when it comes to my credit cards, I've got three different credit cards and they
are of different types.
So, I've got an American Express, we've got a Visa, we've got a MasterCard.
The reason being, sometimes in some places they're not going to take American Express,
so then I can pull up my Visa.
And, if you're traveling out of States out of the country, call your credit card companies.
Let them know that you'll be using these cards in those locations, so they do not freeze
your cards.
Now, when it comes to cash, I always make sure I've got crisp clean bills that are
new.
I've been to some countries and if it's got a tear in it, if it's got a mark on
it, if it's an older issue of that, you know, hundred-dollar bill, they're not going
to exchange it.
When I check into a hotel room, I clear out the clutter.
That means all the magazines, all the brochures, I pick them all together I put them into a
drawer out of the way because I want a clean space, so when I'm looking for something,
I can find it and when I'm ready to get to business, I just don't have distractions.
So, once I'm checked into the room sort of settled, I go ahead and I call the service
desk.
I ask now for the extras.
I want an extra blanket because I sleep with the temperature low and I like to be toasting
when I'm in my bed.
I ask for extra hangers, I've got a lot of jackets a lot of nice shirts.
So, at this point, I'm getting these things sent up to me while there was almost no demand
because if you start asking for this as everyone's going to bed at 8:00 at night 9:00 at night,
you're going to find – you're going to get whatever is left and sometimes it's
going to take an hour for them to actually get you anything.
When I check into my room, I unpack all my luggage and I immediately iron all my shirts
that way everything is set for the week.
But, make sure to inspect the iron.
You want to look at the base plate, you want to make sure there's no stains that nothing
is really dirty on it.
If need be, ask for another iron, but make sure that when you iron your clothing, it's
not with an iron that's going to damage the clothing.
All right, guys, what do you think of the video?
Did you learn anything new?
Do you have something that you want to add you're like, Antonio, you missed this hack.
Let me know down in the comments.
I want to hear from you, guys.
And, if you want more, you want to dress sharp with no efforts, guys, check out this video
here.
I've got seven tips for you to level up your style with pretty much no effort.
Yes, there's a little bit of work if you want to level up your style and you don't
want to, you know, shock your friends, you just simply want to start looking better with
minimal amount of work.
And, guys, don't forget, go check out SCOTTeVEST, I'm linking to them down in the description
to tons of clothing that they sent me.
And I'm really excited because for years I've known about this company, actually,
I owned one of their vests I bought myself years ago because I love function.
I don't know what else to say.
Guys, I'm linking to them down in the description.
As you can tell, I'm excited, I love – I love companies like this.
So, as wrapping things up, I want to show you some of the details on this hoodie.
One of these just made my daughters laugh.
It actually made me laugh, I didn't expect it.
So, one thing I like is besides the twenty one pockets is actually they've got this
set up here, so you can wear it like a glove.
But, check this out.
So, when you're on an airplane and, yes, you do not want anyone to disturb you especially
your own kids.
Look at that.
[Laughs] This thing I didn't even know it was there until I was wearing it and I pulled
it out and my daughters saw it and they just started laughing and I had to go over, I mean
that's pretty awesome, right?
Just something fun with the clothing.
Guys, go check them out.
Again, a great sponsor, I'm linking to them down in the description.
