Episode notes
Avoid Tangled Jewellery Using Straws
- Use a drinking straw to keep necklaces from tangling by threading them through the straw and clasping them.
- For shorter or delicate jewelry, cut the straw in half to create multiple sections for organization.
Label Luggage "Fragile" for Priority
- Put a "fragile" sticker on your luggage to help it come out first and avoid damage.
- Get these stickers from a DIY store and place them on your big luggage for extra care.
Bring Multi-Port Adapter
- Bring a multi-port adapter (extension lead) to have multiple plugs available when outlets are scarce.
- Check voltage compatibility to avoid damaging your devices in certain countries like Mexico.
