  • - [Narrator] It's time to shake off that cabin fever

  • 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.
