Earlier, an Australian mom and full-time world traveler with a fan base of 130,000 shared her foolproof tricks for visiting a foreign country and getting there with all your bags in tow.
Evie Farrell has traveled to seven different countries since the start of the new year, some with her young daughter and others alone, blogging about her journey on her mumpacktravel page.
While traveling post-Covid is certainly more of a headache than before the global pandemic, Ms Farrell has found numerous ways to travel in luxury for less with the help of hand luggage, using ‘the pillow trick’ and making good use of the ‘sleeping in airports’ Application.
When it comes to scheduling her airport arrivals and departures, the socialite mom often opts to buy lounge tickets, which typically cost around $50 for four hours, to enjoy the perks of a shower, hot meal , drinks and wifi.

If your trip isn’t too long, Ms. Farrell will opt for carry-on only so you don’t worry about losing your luggage between airports and make sure you actually use everything inside the bag.
To make sure everything stays neat and tidy, she vows to pack buckets for swimsuits, underwear, and bras so they don’t end up jumbled up in her bag.
For those who struggle to fit everything they own into a small carry-on, Ms. Farrell has shared her all-important ‘pillow hack’.
To make sure everything stays neat and tidy, she vows to pack buckets for swimsuits, underwear, and bras so they don’t end up jumbled up in her bag.
“This is a stingy piece of advice that my daughter and I tried last month when we went to Vietnam with only carry-on luggage. All airlines allow passengers to bring a pillow, so instead of an actual pillow inside the case, you can pack the case with clothes,” she told Mamamia.
‘You’ll need two pillowcases: pack your clothes in the first, then slide the other over it so that the opening of the first is towards the closed end of the second.’
When leaving the country she is transiting through, especially if it is Asia, Ms. Farrell chooses to wash and dry her dirty clothes there to avoid having to do so as soon as she lands.

Chelsea Dickenson, from North London, who runs cheapholidayexpert.com, revealed a handy trick to pack more clothes on a flight without checking a bag in a viral TikTok video.
She said: ‘So I have a lower risk option for you to try, and it includes this. Yeah, the other day I noticed it had a zipper on it, so I opened it up, there’s the memory foam. Goodbye, sun!
‘And instead, here are my pants, I probably shouldn’t have them on display, that’s why.
‘I’m putting on some tights, also my hat, room for the tights and also my t-shirt, plenty of room honestly.
‘Look how full it is, I squeezed it, we’re good to go.’
She said she revealed the idea came to her when she “noticed it had a zipper,” so she opened it up and stuffed it full of clothes.

His final tip is to use the Sleeping in Airports website to see which airports have the best ratings, nearby hotels, or, if you get stuck, the best places to nap before your next flight.
That way, you’ll be prepared for the next trip if it’s a back-to-back one.
“Throughout Asia, and in many countries around the world, you can wash, dry and fold your entire travel wardrobe at laundromats at a very low price. I wash all day before I go, put it in my packing bins, and then put it back in my wardrobe when I get home,” she said.

Ms Farrell said she often slept in airports between flights before Covid, with Starbucks being her favorite spot, though it’s easier to cuddle up in a lounge now.
