Great packing and travel tips from my fav YouTube Channels

While I’ve talked about tech to make travel easier, and things that you really need to remember. What hasn’t been covered is packing tips. So here are some of my favourite channels that share packing and travel tips, or I can say my fav ‘YouTube Packing Channels’.

Yes, some of them even include tips for travel tech as well.

For each channel, you’ll see

• Channel Name and a Link
• My comment on the channel
• Description
• An embedded video, that I think you’ll find useful
• And in case the videos aren’t loading a direct text link to them

Tip: Check out the rest of the videos on all of the channels as there’s more good info and packing tips!

Travel Tips by Laurie

https://www.youtube.com/@TravelTipsbyLaurie

Laurie’s channel is, I think, the first one that I personally subscribed to.

I’ve found her tips to be practical and so useful. Yes, I’ve added a few of them to my own packing process – when I travel.

Description: I show travel tips, how to pack carry-on bags, what to do in vacation destinations, and airport outfit ideas. I am a Houston pilot wife sharing tips from our travels. As a former elementary school teacher, you will learn new tips for travel in every video. My tips will help you “travel the globe without a worry in the world.”

I didn’t know the name of the host (Megan) for a while as I watched these videos. Fortunately she started introducing herself. 😊 I find them straight to the point, and sharing some really good and different tips to the other channels.

Megan covers travel tips as well as packing tips.

Pack Hacker

https://www.youtube.com/@PackHacker

If you end up searching for things about travel and packing, you’ll definitely see the Pack Hacker channel.

Because they came up on my list so much, I finally watched one. I love that it’s clear and to the point on everything packing related. From packing tips, through to bags and other accessories.

If you’ve got an afternoon free, you might want to watch through a number of their videos – otherwise just watch them as you feel like it.

It might even be worth being a pro member, just to be able to visit their offices and see all the travel gear in person.

Nora Dunn

https://www.youtube.com/@NoraDunn

I found Nora while browsing through recommended videos on YouTube. For me, she’s a fairly recent addition to my subscription list.

It didn’t take me long to go back though Nora’s videos to find a few more that I wanted to watch.

Description: Greetings from The Professional Hobo! I’ve been a digital nomad since 2006. I help people design their lifestyles and arrange their affairs to travel long-term while working remotely. In STYLE.

While not all of her videos including packing tips, the ones that do are useful, even if you don’t plan to be a digital nomad.

Genx Gypsy

While I’m not (currently) subscribed to this channel, I do enjoy watching the videos.

The host (sorry, I don’t know her name) speaks honestly and from experience.

I like that she tries things out, and shares not only what works, but also what hasn’t for her.

I’m sharing one of my favourite videos – mostly because it’s about tiny travel things. But there are a few useful/interesting items.

Description: “You only live once, but if you do it right, once is enough.” Mae West Don’t wait for “someday” to come along to fulfill all your dreams, start making those dreams happen today!
