If you're not into audio books, something like a kindle can help cut down on space too while still being able to read instead of listen :)
You can usually listen to books on a kindle, too. I got a Kindle Fire for a recent trip and you can do both. One thing about audible - you can usually get free ebooks through your local library online free - without all the ads and hassle that can come with audible. FYI!
You can also find public domain books for free at Project Gutenberg (text) or Librivox (audio). They're made by volunteers, so the quality varies a bit, but they're generally quite good.
I still prefer my physical book rather than ebook or audio book.
Agreed!
Calicido I agree. I usually take paperbacks for travel, not heavy like the book she showed. Also, I often take a book I don't mind leaving somewhere after I have read it, lighter on the return trip.
Calicido Agree. I do carry my kindle everywhere, but I always look for a local bookshop to get new books as a souvenir.

Lai Sookching What does that mean?
I always pack 2 elephants, 3 giraffes and 5 porcupines.
+vangrails Me to
+vangrails Man how do you past the TSA? You know those porcupines are considered lethal weapons. But then again you may not have to deal with those government waists of time and money.
I bring snakes on an airplane
From the end of the video, I'm assuming by 'pack' you mean put in your checked bag. For me, 'pack' means 'bring' lol. So I definitely wouldn't say don't pack your medications, I would say make sure to pack your medications in your carry on and not in your checked bag!!!
Exactly what I said!!
+LorraineVirginie Yeah that was going to be my carry on. I wanted to see Kiev, Seems like the Ukraine has a good train depot to all the big cities. See what the Nazi's left standing and what the Russians really want with that place. You know Putin wants something besides to help out somebody.
Why? I pack mine cause I'll have it that night?
Medication, Travel documents, and Jewelry. Yeah I bring those in my Carry on bag not, in my luggage, if you are referring to bringing those items in our carry on, whereas not bring them at all, because without bringing my travel documents, such as a visa, how does one suppose to travel. Lol
My friends and I are heading to Thailand next week and I'm so glad I found your channel! My boyfriend basically loves ALL your tips!!!!! Thank you thank you y gracias!
Ummm it just have a more satisfying feeling if you are reading the real book than just listening to it so yeah
I loved you and your way of filming these videos. You're so cheerful. Really😍 Thank you for cheering me up as well as helping me ❤🌹🌹
People pack knives just like that?!! People be crazy!
watvid1 I don't see how they get past TSA, even in checked luggage, unless they are certified chefs and have made arrangements before hand to ship such items (usually separate from luggage). For ordinary folks, you'll be liable to wind up on the evening news!
I love your advice and counsel! I am so glad I found your channel! Also, I have shared the love!
Sonia, acabo de descubrir tus vídeos y estoy muy feliz
I've carried my nail polish remover in my luggage but only after I've sealed it with loads of tape. And it worked too.
I took my Finnish language grammar book and I needed it actually. It was hard to pack for 2 month for winter time travelling/working. I over-packed socks and stockings.
You always make our packing easier :)
Good advices! Incredible place :)
I usually like your videos, but it seems that you have been mixing "what not to pack in checked bags" and "what not to pack at all".
And there I was left wondering what happened to my fellow "don't check a bag unless you want to lose it" traveler!
As usual I enjoyed your video of helpful tips, take care, looking forward to the next video.
Some people cannot leave without medication. Just take it in your carry own, purse or pocket.
Romy Fleurs so true my mom get Car an plane sick she need medication
I'd take one book! Specially if you are travelling long term- most hostels have free book swaps so you only ever have to buy one book but can read hundreds! Also in a restauraunt alone books stop people bothering about why you're alone idk why but it works!
I'd just never bring jewelry on a trip, even in a carry on. Too risky and potentially sets you up as a 'mark' when you're out and about in a foreign place.I'm a scarf fan...they're colorful, multi-functional and accessorize perfectly. xox
I loved the tip for nail polish! Thanks Sonia :-)
Glasses also! Keep those in your carry on luggage. Thanks for the great tips!
Loved your video Sonia!
you always make it easy ..:)
Sonia, love your show. Little problem hope you can answer
. Travelling to warm (hot) weather, leaving snow, cold area. What to pack & wear??
Wow you remaind me to Sandra Bullock lol,i loooove your content!!
Your amazing
I love these kind of videos. :) I wish they were a had big longer though. I think I just love you too much! haha
Although I still prefer reading through the fragrant pages of a book. But yes, audiobooks (or ebooks) are more practical. thanks for the tips!
Well said Sonia
Have you take about charger on the go. I buy one for my travel. Idk what the best one. I got my charge 6000
Yeah... not bringing medication is not the greatest tip haha. Usually there's a reason you need it... Better tip would be to bring your prescription as well (and scan it and put it in your deopbox or something incase it gets lost) incase something does happen to your medication.
Also, never travel with prescription medications without a prescription, especially if it's a drug that has abuse potential, like oxycotin or something.
I think she means to bring your medication on your carry-on, rather than your check-in luggage, which can get lost.
not PACKing medication means bring it with you /in carry-on
more videos please!!
I watch tou all day looobe you
Great video I subbed

If I were a woman I'd like to be like you. Smart, pretty and multilingual.
What about Perfume Gift sets if you bubble wrap it in your checked baggage?
I love your video :) Awwww.. the clothes that were ruined. So sad. :(
What to pack for college dorms?
I always forget to subscribe your channel. But hey I love you too!
Hi, I'm going to Arizona over March break, do you have any packing tips?
Have fun! And don't overpack, or under pack.. You want stuff but not TOO much stuff Check how many days Ur there and go from there. Make sure ur liquids like shampoo and stuff are in a good container so they don't leak!
Madeline L Thanks!

Could u pls do a video about car rental insurance? Gracias.
How do I not pack my perfume?? I have a 1.7 oz bottle of perfume I was planning to bring to London...maybe keep it in my carry on?
What about spray sunscreen and Off?
Hey sona gill whenever I go on holiday with my Mam she has to pack her medicines
I hate audio books. They take forever. I read so much faster by myself. Plus, I often get distracted and then I have to rewind. No, real books all the way for me. I also don't like having to bring a lot of electronics.
Eleonore Bon I hate audio books for that same reason
can I pack a phot album with pictures
So we can't take perfume in checked luggage?
Simple and great tips. I love your videos.
I made some videos to try to improve my English talking with native speakers. Unfortunately, I am still the same.
If you want some tips when you return to Rio de Janeiro call me and I will show you.
Why would any one pack a knife
Rawaih Falatah international students? Cleavers.
Going to Disney world May.. Anyone have any tips??
Wow, thank you so much! I've never been as you can probably tell and this helped a lot!
Thank you! I'm sure I will!:)
I think packing too many shoes or too much makeup is a mistake bc on vacation you don't need as much of either.
how do you pack perfume
I find that there's many options for this! You can find a solid perfume at many stores, or you can find travel size perfume holders to save space, you can even find one time use perfume wipes online - so you could smell different every day. If you're not looking to save space or bend the 3-1-1 rule, I'd double bag it.
can you bring selfie sticks on carry on luggage
I don't see why not?
I need meds tho :(
same
I believe she's referring to check-in luggage here, which is sometimes lost. Most things she mentioned like meds or jewelry can go on carry-on if necessary. You can take meds on carry on.
Elizabeth Bailey Oh, Thanks! :) I'm happy with your statement and this video.
Anyone who brings power bank to Mainland Chinese airports? Unless if you're departing or in transit stop over.
Make sure your Power bank has a label on it and it supposed to be less than 160WH. 160WH ÷ 5V = 32A ÷ 1000 = 32,000 mAH.
If it does not have a label, the security will confiscate that unlabeled power banks.
My chef friends would be appalled at such a breach of knife etiquette. If for some reason you do have to travel with kitchen knives, spend a few bucks and do it right.
A $5 knife guard could have kept that blouse from getting mangled. You can get either a thin sleeve or a hard plastic locking shell. If you want to travel with a set of knives, a $20 bag will keep all your blades safely bundled together. That's $50 or less to have your kitchen tools doubly protected and neatly organized.
yay another youtuber advertising audible.com i swear to god i can't hear it anymore.
IKR
+Rainbow Dash boohoo
What about bras or bikinis with underwire? For going through security
Come on Sonia! U do not need to plug an advertisement in your videos. Your better then that! Its already annoying that every other app or video downloaded comes with a plug. Please do not start doing the same! Anyway, Good video otherwise. I travel alot. Useful info you gave out.
nice video, and you are so cute
+Ahmed Awad What do you know me and a Muslim actually has something in common Sonia is a doll. And Ahmed before you put me in Christian category I'm Agnostic. The I don't care one way or the other category.
People take medication everyday like me need them to keep my new kidney alive an working if I don’t I’ll get very il an end up in hospital an back on treatment
Please stop the ads!
i thought they were obvious.
Don't u need your travel documents??
this is chiz I think she meant don't pack them on your suitcase but instead your carry on.
She says it's amazing having somebody read a book to you it's not .what happened to reading a good PAPER book
I know right I love reading with actually touching the crisp paper!!
, I am sure if any one else try to act like that it termed as over acting but you are not, specially timing over all 100%
who in their right mind would pack knives in their suitcase??😠
a chef in between Jobs, for example ^^ or a Sushi knive as a souvenir from Japan, never without the proper "casing" though, you also have to declare it when checking your luggage
I love your videos, but I get irritated by your intro.. :p I don't know why.. :) great video btw!!!
too commercial!!
That's one sexy outfit.
how do you pack perfume
Carry on
+Tanya1976ism thanks xx
You can also try a solid perfume. Lush sells some fantastic ones.
does it work? they didn't let me have butter in my hand baggage (although it's solid, right?) so i wonder what's the difference :P
+EvaJuliaZ Butter is more like a gel and those are also forbidden but solid perfumes should work if they're actually solid
