All your tips totally make sense. One tip I can share is bringing my own travel sheet. I use the Brave era travel sheet (available in Amazon) It's a portable travel sheet that I can use to protect myself from bed bugs and dirty sheets on hotel/hostel accommodations. It has been a life saver for me and I would recommend that every traveler has this. thanks for the tips and happy travels!
I’m flying out to Canada in June to work in a summer camp for the first time!! Eeeek so nervous but excited. Your videos are really helpful in preparing for this adventure!!
Your camp videos are one of the main reasons I’m heading to camp for the first time this year!! I’m so excited and truely appreciate the videos you upload about camp!! 💕💕
Ally Sheehan ooooo yay another camp video! I’m excited! I’m heading to Kenmont & Kenwood this year, it’s in Connecticut and is a boys and girls separated camp on the same property. I leave I two weeks to spend a couple days in New York before heading to camp. I can’t wait 💖
Last year on my flight from South Africa to Sydney (18ish hours) the whole flights TV screens weren't working!! Was such a godsend that I'd brought books, cards and a journal so that I had something to do.
oh my goodness That's never happened to me and I pRAY it never does, it must have been awful for anyone that didn't bring entertainment!!! Were the flight staff super apologetic about it?
I already have a pretty full on packing list on my phone and a pile of travel stuff on my bedroom floor... I can't believe camp is in less than a month!
Hi Alley! I love Jansport for travel but recently I shifted to Nomad Lane Bento Bag. What I love about it is it has a lot of compartments, has a trolley sleeve and packs like a suitcase.
Absolutely love your camp videos and they make me fall in love more and more every time! I'm hoping to go next year! Do you not have reserved seats on the plane? And are there often other people going to Camp as well? Safe flights! ✈☀
Yesss you definitely should! Yep, I always book a window seat :) My first year there were 2 other girls seated near me going off to work at camp too which was so cool. I flew out around June 11 that year so I suspect there would be loads more as it gets closer to camp time. Thank you lovely!
I always have hand sanitizer in my carry on, comes useful when they bring out food on the plane, or in the airport, or after using the bathroom - after washing your hands you still have to touch the door and I just hate that because who knows if people who go before me wash their hands :)
So good Ally!! Hand sanitizer, Vaseline and mints make me feel like a brand new woman when I’m travelling 🙌🏼 Also I have a video on my channel about essential clothing items which would be great for campers! Can’t wait to see your adventures this year 🌞
@@jackpower1658 Something I always like to remind myself is that nerves and excitement feel the same in our bodies, so we just have to use our minds to decide which it is. Like I said in the video, things like audiobooks and podcasts really help me when it comes to the flying aspect, because I can close my eyes, listen to that immersive experience and pretty much forget where I am. As for the rest of it, I think making friendships/connections/relationships with others really helps! If you go to camp, post in your camp's facebook page and chat to a few others, it will immediately put your mind at ease
@@AllySheehan Even though my travels are not till next year I will be sure to keep a close eye on your channel and watch some great content! Hopefully flying for a long period of time won't bother me too much, and music and movies should be the go too! Do you know how long you are at the camp before all the kids show up?
I have been binging your camp playlist all day!! Heading off to camp in June for the first time as a photographer and I'm soo excited but also nervous 😅❤️
Heck yeah!!!!! That honestly has to be one of the best jobs at camp, you're going to capture so many beautiful moments 😍 Which camp are you working at?
@@AllySheehan Hi, Ally! I'd do an Internet search for "books similar to..." I especially liked hardcopy books, e-books and audiobooks by Nataly Kogan. 😊
I bring as well a adult color book and wordsearch if my lap top dies from watching Netflix movies. I want get that map notebook. Wish incantations travel out the country. Lucky enough just get chance to go back my home state to New Jersey from Arizona usa it 4 hour flight

You can get about 100 levels down in a day when you have nothing else to do haha, I have faith in you (although maybe this long flight will push me to truly sad new heights/depths)
Hey Ally. What camera do you use. Looking to get one for camp this year. As I don’t take enough photos while I’m there and always regret it when I get home. ❤️
@@AllySheehan that’s ok😄BTW I just started watching your channel and I love your content (I’m a fellow swiftie) you seem like such a sweet and down to earth person♥️
I wanted to comment on the use of perfume on a plane. There are actually a lot of people who are allergic to perfumes, and I’m talking about getting migraines and even vomiting. Being stuck in close quarters with nowhere to get away from it is pure hell for those of us who have this problem. Please be a considerate fellow passenger and don’t use perfume when flying.

I always bring my fuzzy socks. As soon as I sit down I kick off my shoes, put them in the overhead bins and put on my big socks. Instant comfort!
Yes I was just thinking today I might take bed socks!
Until you have to use the bathroom. Only hard soles shoes in there!
Wouldn’t be an Ally video without a Parent Trap reference 😊❤️
or two 😂 oops
I’m flying out to Canada in June to work in a summer camp for the first time!! Eeeek so nervous but excited. Your videos are really helpful in preparing for this adventure!!
oh my gosh how exciting!! I think camps in canada must be the most beautiful. Which one are you working at?
Camp Walden, it’s a few hours north of Toronto!
@@RazzleRed543 Amazing!! I have a few subscribers who have worked there :)
I'm going to Canada in a couple days
How was it?? I'm thinking of applying to work at one in Canada too x
I am packing now for my first year as a camp counselor!! Love your videos!!
YAY!!! I hope you're excited! Where are you headed?
@@AllySheehan I am and Camp Forrestal in NY!

Neither can I!!!!
I fly out the day after tomorrow and it still hasn't hit me.
Where are you going?
@@AllySheehan Camp Fiver, it's upstate NY - I don't think it will fully hit me that I'm going until I'm in the air though
Hi Alley! I love Jansport for travel but recently I shifted to Nomad Lane Bento Bag. What I love about it is it has a lot of compartments, has a trolley sleeve and packs like a suitcase.
Do they make backpacks?
So excited to be heading off to work at my first summer camp! These videos are super helpful :-D Happy Summer!!
Yayyy I'm so excited for you!! Which camp are you off to?
Ally Sheehan French Woods!
I’m getting so excited for camp watching your videos. I don’t fly for 23 days but I’ve already started packing 🎉
Aw I'm so glad!! Haha I get excited too and pack super early, then I don't unpack for ages after getting home.
Where are you headed?
Ally Sheehan haha yeah, hard to let go that you’re back to reality 😩 I’m going to Summit Camp, PA 😊
@@mebelol98 Exactly! Especially when that reality involves much colder weather than your cute summer clothes are necessary for haha x
@@mebelol98 oh cool! I'm visiting PA for the first time next month :) V excited
You should make a video of you and your adventure on the flight!
I fly out on Thursday to camp in Arizona! So exciting 💛
Ahhh yes!!! I'm so excited for you :)
Which camp?
Parsons Leadership Centre :)
We are reading call of th wild by jack London in my English Language Arts class we are loving it so far and the vocabulary is amazing
Absolutely love your camp videos and they make me fall in love more and more every time! I'm hoping to go next year! Do you not have reserved seats on the plane? And are there often other people going to Camp as well? Safe flights! ✈☀

That bag is like a merry poppings bag
Kazeem Badrudeen do you mean Mary Poppins..?

Yeah it's kinda terrifying to think about haha, hopefully it will do a good job and keep us healthy!
MY SISTER DID CAMP AMERICA! also I have a sister called Allie but the one who went to camp america is called Renee
that's my middle name haha!
i can't believe its that time of year again 😱
Sophie A Spalding Tell me about it!! Feels like I was just on a flight home in September and now here we are
I love Your carry on bag video it really helped me pack . You should do more of these videos.❤❤❤
Aw I'm so glad to hear that!!
What else would you like to see?
Great video Ally!!! ❤ Hope you have an awesome time on camp!!! ❤ I always have a hard copy print outs of my flights and accommodation!
Thanks so much Sean!!
Great tips xx
I'm going to camp this year for my first time! So excited to become a counselor! When do you fly out?
I bring crystals too. Ha. Loved to see you do. ❤
I've found a blow up footrest to be life-changing for my little legs hehe :)
Genius!! I sometimes use my bag haha but your idea sounds a lot cleaner
@@AllySheehan yeah I just blow it up before takeoff, put my fluffy socks on and ready to go! and then just deflate and fold it back into my bag :)
I like how simple and spontaneous you are😘
Aw thank you!!
So good Ally!!
Hand sanitizer, Vaseline and mints make me feel like a brand new woman when I’m travelling 🙌🏼
Also I have a video on my channel about essential clothing items which would be great for campers!
Can’t wait to see your adventures this year 🌞
Thanks Emily!!
I just subscribed to you emily
Missed out this year! But got my interview in July :))) Looking forward to what next year brings
Yessss that's so exciting!!!

@@jackpower1658 Yeah we (and most camps, I believe) do a week of orientation before they arrive :) It's so much fun getting to know everyone!
Ahh I’m packing for Camp Danbee right now 😁 have a good summer
You too dude!!! Might see you at our basketball tournaments haha x
Ally Sheehan I’ll wave ya down if I see you :)
If you sleep on the window seat, it’s actually colder, so Ally, just a heads up, cos u get cold on Planes. Hope this helped
I have been binging your camp playlist all day!! Heading off to camp in June for the first time as a photographer and I'm soo excited but also nervous 😅❤️
Heck yeah!!!!!
That honestly has to be one of the best jobs at camp, you're going to capture so many beautiful moments 😍
Which camp are you working at?
The Four Agreements is an excellent book! 😊
Sooooo good! This is my third re-read!
Do you have any similar recommendations?
@@AllySheehan Hi, Ally! I'd do an Internet search for "books similar to..." I especially liked hardcopy books, e-books and audiobooks by Nataly Kogan. 😊
Great video, thank you for sharing your helpful travel advice.
You're very welcome!!
I'm leaving in three weeks for camp for the first time! Never been to the USA before
Ah that's doubley exciting!! Which camp are you working at?
@@AllySheehan camp green lane. It's in PA
I like bookmarking my photo page of my passport with my ticket so the page is easy to access
so smart!!
You could bring glass perfume in the plane? I know most people bring plastic but I’m not sure of glass??
omg i nearly forgot to bring my glasses , thanks for reminding me 🤣🤣
gotchu girl!
Awesome!! Have a nice trip 🤗
Thanks lovely!
I bring as well a adult color book and wordsearch if my lap top dies from watching Netflix movies. I want get that map notebook. Wish incantations travel out the country. Lucky enough just get chance to go back my home state to New Jersey from Arizona usa it 4 hour flight
When does your camp finish? And are you gonna travel around afterwards?
Mid August, and heck yeah! I always try to make full use of the J1 visa grace period :)
why isnt your channel called A GIRL Named Ally? I think its fun and really shows your personality.
Do you know what style this backpack is? I love it and want to get one for camp!!!! :)
It's a Jansport :)

You can get about 100 levels down in a day when you have nothing else to do haha, I have faith in you (although maybe this long flight will push me to truly sad new heights/depths)
and thank you!!
Ok but also what is your best score, mines 1014395 😂
I have the four agreement book too! It sounds really good😊
It's so fantastic, I'm re-reading it this Summer!
RIP, I’m only on level 70 on helix jump (but I have heaps more games...🤩🤪🤷♀️)
Cool, it is Soo addictive.
I am currently on level 222.
Hey Ally. What camera do you use. Looking to get one for camp this year. As I don’t take enough photos while I’m there and always regret it when I get home. ❤️

Ally Sheehan thanks ally. I actually have a disposable from last summer, where do you get yours printed in Australia ❤️
@@morganm8933 Teds! They print or email within a few hours :)

Thumbs up if so

Please be mindful of other people when bringing perfume on a plane. Many people have asthma and perfume may trigger an asthma attack.
great point, thank you!
