Heyo! Mitch and Day here 👋🏼
We’re just your typical American-Colombian couple determined to live every second of our precious time here on earth to the fullest. After a 10-month solo backpacking trip through South America, I (Mitch) stopped in Cali, Colombia to take salsa dancing classes 💃🏻. I only planned to stay for a couple weeks, but God had other plans for me. I met a cute Colombian girl (Day) in class, those couple weeks turned into a couple years, and before we knew it...we were married 👰🏻🤵🏼
Now we’re traveling the world full time as digital nomads, supporting ourselves by working online 👨‍💻👩‍💻
Our goal with these videos is to inspire you to step outside your comfort zone, give you an inside peek at our crazy imperfect lives, and show you that you don’t have to be rich to live an extraordinary life...all you need to do is make the choice!

After seeing someone on a long haul flight who was sick and didn’t have anything he could take for it, I basically bring a small pharmacy with me - bandaids, cough drops, ibuprofen, anti nausea pills. My nose gets really dry, so I bring a nasal saline spray too. My pharmacy is overkill sometimes, but it has come in handy more than once.

My niece flew from LHR to SeaTac via Iceland last Christmas when a passenger had a massive heart attack. There were 3 physicians on the plane, and one actually carried a bag of fluids (Lactated Ringers) with a line and needle that he used and thus saved the man’s life. Apparently, he said he always flies with them just for emergencies like that.

RN here. Whether or not you're having/eating a snack with peanuts/peanut butter in it causing an anaphylactic reaction in someone with a peanut allergy depends on the severity of their allergy & proximity to you so it's always better to just avoid eating anything with peanuts in it on the plane or even b4 boarding just to be safe. I highly recommend wearing compression socks on any flight longer than 2 hours, even if you're young to help prevent blood clots/swelling. Hydration is also important.

I have a fleecy black beanie that I pull over my eyes instead of using an eye mask, it goes over my ears to stop the earplugs falling out and it keeps my head nice and toasty when sleeping on a frigid plane. If I don't want to be disturbed, I stick a "Don't disturb" note to the beanie (I use the safety pin always pinned to the beanie) and noise-cancelling earphones fits right over the beanie. I have some limited vision from the bottom of the beanie which is great to be aware of what is happening around me without officially waking up and then being engaged by those around me.

Another thing similar to the microfibre towel is a silk sleeping bag liner. Ostensibly for outdoors types to add a warm and hygienic (eg washable) layer to sleeping bag for camping. But silk is super warm for its size/weight and they pack down to the size of a can of coke. I use mine as a mega thin sleeping bag in cheap hostels in hot counties as I feel cleaner sleeping in it than their bedclothes. You can throw it over yourself or even use it as a scarf. Amazing things and I’ll never travel without mine.

I would disagree about the fanny pack though. When I've used one it ends up feeling like an extra bag that restricts my mobility and is another thing to keep an eyes on and worry about. If I've packed well enough, I prefer to keep those important items for the flight in the front pocket of my personal bag. Keep up the amazing content! Subbed! 😊

I second this! It would be great if it wasn’t allowed to use perfume on planes at all, a lot of people are sensitive or allergic to it (I’m one of them - my astma gets instantly triggered). Better a little smelly than causing people headaches, runny noses or at worst trouble breathing :)

Yes, peanut allergies are real. The oil from the peanuts can bond with molecules in the air and all someone that is VERY sensitive to peanuts needs to do is inhale this air and then have a reaction which can be immediate or delayed. I believe this is a reason that many airlines no longer serve peanuts.

My son is anaphylactic to peanuts, so we request a "buffer zone" when we fly. This is where the flight attendant asks the people in the immediate area around us to refrain from eating peanuts/peanut products. There is mixed information about airborne/smell, but peanut "dust" can transfer, depending on the product, and we would rather not take chances on a plane, for any type of reaction, and very much appreciate when others help in that endeavour. Thank you for your video and for bringing up the topic. :)

The aircraft's Environmental Control System filters and recirculates the air in the cabin, so you shouldn't have to worry about the full plane in theory. But contaminated air in your immediate vicinity could certainly pass you on its way to the filters. With something as dangerous as peanut allergies, it's completely understandable why you wouldn't want to take the chance!

@@ProjectUntethered I guess I would question whether the eater can guarantee they won't get peanut butter on their hands, then touch seats or bathroom door, etc. A bit like cold germs. Unfortunately, because airlines can only request the people directly around us to abstain, we are taking our chances with the rest of the plane. The onus is on me to teach my son to clean the area we sit in as soon as we board, wash his hands regularly and be cautious of warning signs. And we carry plenty of Epi-pens. :)

Wow, that sounds like it can add a bit of extra stress to the experience. After reading everyone’s comments, my takeaway is to do your best to respect others with the food you take on a plane. That said, it’s probably not necessary to get overly paranoid, because the people with allergies typically know they have allergies and have a plan to protect themselves.

You can also pack a meal and keep it cold with ice packs and bring it through TSA. Pour out any melted water prior to inspection or your container/bag of ice will be subject to the 3-ounce liquid rules. Ice cubes melt faster than a brick of frozen water. Even though they are sealed, "blue ice"/gel packs are subject to the 3-ounce liquid rule when they begin to melt and "sludh" can be felt. Don't wrap your food in foil. It interferes with the xray machine and you will be pulled aside while a TSA agent opens your bag AND unwraps your food with the same gloves they've worn for their entire shift.

I buy many books from independent writers online so I am happy that my supernote can read those as well) AND you can write and draw in it!(sidenote: you can upload your own templates so you can even have a custom template for each of your journeys) You can even make a pdf with your travel schedules and when you mark them with the pen you get an extra page where you can make notes on the words/paragraph you marked ^_^ it became the one item I could not be without any longer and it has so many functions while still being small and light - wich is amazing for your "endless" journeys.

Chewing gum, yawning, and all that stuff has never helped, since I starter using these ear plugs I have not had any issues and they block the sound. they come in their own small case and even have a neck strap (like those eyeglass neck strap) so you won't loose them when you take them out of an ear to hear the stewardess telling you whats to eat :). I also take a small ziplock bag or 2 and a small 'rollup bag' just in case they are needed. Bring sanitizer wipes so you can wipe down the tray and seat arms. I use a fishing vest instead of a 'fanny pack', I just put the small things in ziplocks so it is easy to take out of the pockets going through the checkpoint.

But what I like about it is it has a super slim profile, so I can empty it out and pack it inside my carry on if I want. The carry on I'm currently using is this one (except I took all the colored stuff off it so it's all black): bit.ly/3DZLySz (Affiliate link). MY wife is using this as her carry on: I believe the bigger bags you see in the video are actually checked bag size. On that trip, we were checking bags, but now we're doing carry on only.

The problem with locks on a backpack etc is that they aren't that much use because you can open any zip with a ballpoint pen. Perhaps they are OK if you are walking with your pack so someone can't easily get into it from behind you. But if you leave your pack it takes seconds to break into it. Perhaps you could ask your seat neighbours to keep an eye on your pack while you're on the toilet. Doesn't hurt to ask. When you get back to your seat thank them and casually pick up your pack to have a look for sanitiser etc so you can check it over.

I have a cousin who is severely allergic to peanuts and fish. Even the smell of those items can send him into anaphylaxis. If you have never seen someone having an allergic reaction where their throat is closing up, you won't understand how scary that is. For that reason, I don't eat things with nuts in public spaces. You never know who could be allergic.

First, very interesting video! Regarding the peanuts, I recently went to see a stage play and nothing containing peanut was allowed in the building (they would keep any snack at the door in case someone had missed the rule when they booked) because a cast member had severe peanut allergy, so I can imagine it can be an issue if you're sitting next to them on a plane. Very good point to raise, I will actually be more mindful of it, it's one of those things I know but doesn't usually come to mind when I pack.

As to peanut allergies, they can definitely be severe enough that someone eating peanuts at the other end of the plane could cause a reaction. However, flight attendants will make an announcement requesting that no one eats peanuts if someone with such a severe allergy is on board, so I wouldn’t worry about accidentally causing an allergic reaction by eating my peanut snacks. Just pack peanut free snacks as well just in case

Peanut allergies are triggered by proteins found in peanuts. The smell of peanuts can cause anxiety for people with peanut allergies, as they may fear being exposed to the allergen. However, the smell alone does not contain proteins and cannot cause an allergic reaction.

@ckdraws410 Жыл бұрын

@@TonyByteit’s not the smell itself that’s a problem, it’s the airborne molecules. People absolutely can have allergic reactions from someone eating peanuts or peanut butter from across the room.

I like the comment about packing a change of clothes (nothing too fancy), but you skipped the most important reason why. You need the change in case the airlines misplaces your luggage or it misses a transfer. Consequently, you can find yourself without a change of clothes while you are waiting for your bag to be picked up or delivered to you. I had that happen on my first trip to Europe - but I never had that issue again even though bags have been delayed several times with my small carry on.

@ProjectUntethered Жыл бұрын

That’s a very good point! It’s also smart to buy your flight with a credit card that offers travel insurance. That way if your luggage is delayed, you can buy yourself a new outfit. In some countries, I believe the airline would pay for this as well. Recently my wife had a delay and had to stop for a night without her checked luggage, and the airline paid her for a new outfit (as well as a hefty bonus!)

@michelle7352 Жыл бұрын

More than once my luggage was delayed while travelling in Europe (I'm from US). Longest was 3 days. If you haven't packed emergency clothes, at least pack emergency underwear.

If you are eating a food that someone else is allergic to with your bare hands & then without washing your hands touch a surface that the person with the allergy then touches, that is definitely enough for many people to break out in hives; my brother has had this happen with his nut allergy & I personally have had this happen with my banana allergy (banana allergy is not as common as nut or peanut allergy but banana is the most common fruit for someone to be allergic to) Personally I’ve only ever had or witnessed a reaction bad enough not to be able to breathe after actually eating the food & not just skin contact (again skin contact will typically only cause hives or even just itching) but my understanding is that there are some people with such severe food allergies that even just skin contact could cause difficulty breathing. If you are going to eat a common food allergen on a plane, I would recommend wiping of your hands with wet wipes before touching any surfaces & being extremely careful not to get crumbs anywhere someone else may come into contact with.
