Creator's Key Takeaways

I keep my passport in a passport holder in a zippered pocket in my backpack. Rarely, if ever, do I keep my passport in a suitcase for this reason.

I prefer to bring my mini pharmacy. I don't always need everything, but there have been times when I've had to pay the inflated onboard prices for medication that I needed, and I don't want that to happen again.

I always travel with a fake wedding ring because I would feel terrible if something happened to my real one.

As someone with a camera myself, I always have this in my carry-on because I do not want anything to happen to it in my checked luggage.

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Keep your passport and boarding pass in your carry-on to avoid check-in issues.
✓Bring a mini pharmacy with over-the-counter medications to avoid inflated onboard prices.
✓Use Ziploc bags to keep documents organized and protected from moisture.
✓Bring a portable charger to keep devices powered during embarkation day.
