and escape your daily routine with a spring break getaway.

Whether you'll be traveling by plane or car this break,

we have some simple travel tips just for you.

We've previously covered that you can protect

the head of your razor with a piece of a drinking straw.

An alternative to that could be a binder clip.

Not only does it provide safety

and a more durable cover for your razor

but it can also double as a toothbrush stand.

Simply prop your toothbrush with a clip

to prevent it from touching dirty counters at a hotel.

This is a quick and simple trick to use

especially if you can't find anything else

to put your toothbrush in.

There's so many innovative uses for binder clips

outside of the office.

If you wanna avoid a tangled mess

when storing your earphones, take a binder clip

and place the earphones in the mouth of the clip

then carefully wrap the wire around the handles of the clip

and feed the jack through the opening.

Now, you can clip it onto your backpack

or just toss it in your travel bag.

Another method which is less likely

to damage the wiring over time is the devil horns technique.

Hold the earphones with your middle finger and ring finger

and wrap the wire around your index and pinky fingers

in a figure eight pattern.

Save the last bit of wire and wrap the end in the middle

and stick the headphone jack

through the loops that you just made to secure it.

This method is especially effective

because it doesn't require anything extra

to keep your earbuds from unraveling.

Plastic bags are an inexpensive packing organizer

and a great way to recycle.

Your shoes may be clean when you pack them for your trip

but probably not afterwards.

Pack several bags to keep clothes clean from dirty shoes

or wet items.

Like everything else,

water usually costs a lot more at airports.

You probably know by now

that you can't bring a full bottle through security

but there's no stopping you from cheating the system.

Grab yourself an empty water bottle or jug

and fill it up somewhere else

once you pass through security.

Yeah, it's pretty simply but having your own water bottle

ensures that you'll avoid the dehydrating effects

of flying and save money in the process.

Ever struggle with getting directions to a desolate area

without signal or Wi-Fi?

Use Google Maps offline by tapping by OK Maps

and the visible area within 10 miles

will save for future access.

Zoom in on a part of the map that you wanna save for later

then tap that search bar and just type in OK Maps.

Hit the Search button.

Once it's saved, you can access the map

even without a data connection.

It's way better than taking a screenshot

because your saved map let's you zoom in for greater detail.

Also, it works on both iOS and Android devices.

You should see a prompt indicating the map is downloading.

It'll take about 10 seconds

depending on the size of the map you've selected

and the speed of your connection.

Wait for the message that says

the onscreen map area has been cached and you're good to go.

One of the challenges you might face when traveling

is keeping your clothes from getting bent out of shape

or flattened in your luggage.

Keep your shirt collar stiff by rolling up a belt

and placing it in the neck opening of your shirt

right before you pack it in the suitcase.

This simple solution will keep your collar crisp

and give you the perfect place to pack your belt.

Now, here's a fun one.

You can use a pen spring to protect chargers

from bending and breaking.

If you've never broken a laptop or phone charger

then you're as rare as a unicorn.

For everyone else, this probably looks familiar.

Remove the spring from a pen

and carefully stretch it out just a bit.

Attach the spring near the end of the connector

and roll it into the cable.

It's that simple.

For phone chargers, simply repeat this process

for both sides.

When you're packing for a trip,

it's easy to forget a few things

such as your charging block for your gadgets

or perhaps there are no more available outlets

where you're staying.

Usually, the televisions in your hotel

will have a USB slot in the back of the TV

and they're gonna be capable of charging your devices.

Give it a shot.

When you're traveling especially with kids,

eating fast food is not always the best option.

Next time, turn a craft organizer

into a customizable snack pack.

These containers are a great option

for feeding nutritionally balanced meals while on the go.

The dividers can easily be moved around

to accommodate whatever you would like to add to their meal.

Pack 'em with a crunchy snack or fruits, veggies,

drinks, whatever you want.

They're easily accessible, stack and store conveniently.

They also double as a tray table.

Traveling for spring break,

placing your toiletries in a sealed bag will help a bit

but they can still get squished and explode.

This can happen due to air pressure changes on the airplane.

Now, you can prevent this easily by removing the cap

and giving the bottle a little squeeze

to let out any extra air

then add a small amount of plastic wrap

and pull it tightly over the opening.

Once it's secure, screw the cap back on.

For extra protection, store 'em in a Ziploc bag

and tuck 'em in the corner of your suitcase

where there's more cushion.

Now, you can keep your toiletries where they belong,

in their bottles.
