    Wanted to say people didn’t know these?? But then I remembered that these days everyone is an average user that doesn’t care about many features 😂

    I have been doing this on Andriod for almost a decade using Google maps / travel planner. I can sit at my PC and plan the whole trip (restaurants to try, museums to see, land marks, signigicant to history locations, symphony, glass blowing, rock climbing, hiking and the list goes on since everything is on Google) which syncs to my phone and my wifes iPhone. Better maps with better translation with all the reviews one stop shop.

    Check-in feature I’ve never heard of it until now. Thanks for the good tip, Bridget!

    Hey great video…but what happens if you don’t see check in when you click more? 3:40 in the video. Using 17.51 OS

    use the action button with translation

    $10/Day for data is DIABOLICAL! T-mobile data is free across most of Europe and South Africa!

    GREAT TIPS! Thanks for sharing.

    Glance at your Watch to check the turn – you don’t even need to do this, as the vibration is distinct between left and right and I believe also straight ahead (cross the road at a junction)

    • @BridgetCarey

      August 9, 2024 at 3:41 pm

      Wait it vibrates different ways?! I never noticed! brb running out to try this…

    • @Simon-L-B

      August 9, 2024 at 3:55 pm

      @@BridgetCarey yeah! You’ll have to run in square blocks to make the most of it! 😄

      Thanks for the reply, cheered me up 😁

    6:38 Family Circus reference was a blast from the past!

      August 9, 2024 at 3:31 pm

      I’m just glad someone knew what I was talking about 😅

  11. @stephensonmatthew7

    August 9, 2024 at 12:04 pm

    10 dollars a day, i’d not pay. Instead get your phone unlocked by your carrier (or if it’s bought sim free you’re unlocked already), and get a prepaid SIM.

    CNET recommending a $10 per day data package to “save money” as a travel tip? 🤦

    • @BridgetCarey

      August 9, 2024 at 3:37 pm

      Not recommending it or saying it saves money, but just being honest about how I did it. Glad folks are jumping in with other ideas. I was on vacation so I did the quick easy thing.

    Really cool! Tips to remember the next time I travel. Thank you!!

  14. @Kerleem

    August 9, 2024 at 2:36 pm

    One additional tip as a traveller: eSIMs are super easy and cheap and a great option for roaming in another country. You can get a “local” eSIM installed via the app pretty easily and really cheap for a data-only SIM. Apps like Airalo or MobiMatter are great.

  15. @Kerleem

    August 9, 2024 at 2:37 pm

    Also most other countries use WhatsApp quite heavily for calls and texts so it’s a must!

  16. @newfnshow031

    old people love iPhones
    it lets them feel cool like they wanted decades ago

    everything she mentions in this video is easier to do on the pixel😂

  18. @Vandal42

    August 9, 2024 at 3:11 pm

    Dont use a US carrier int data plan! Thats the worst option. Thats 10-12 dollars a day – 70/84 bucks for 7 days for data signal that wont be optimized. Just buy a local sim card, from Three, or Vodafone – I got 70gb of data for 15 GBP this summer 2024 in London (fyi – in the US it takes excessive use outside of wifi to hit 2gb of data usage) Three and Vodafone also allow you to spend what you want, more or less

    To use the airplane’s inflight entertainment system with your own headphones or earbuds you’ll need a Bluetooth adapter. If you have an AirPods Pro Max either the BT adapter or Apple’s bidirectional cable.

  20. @francoistm

    August 9, 2024 at 4:10 pm

    2:18 I think – not sure but – you have 2 or 3 unread emails (just saying)

  21. @PhillBurns

    August 9, 2024 at 4:52 pm

    $10 per day?!? 30 days 50gb euro roaming esim is about $12. Smarty, Lycamobile, Holafly, and many more!

  22. @princegj84

    August 9, 2024 at 4:57 pm

    $10 dollars a day is ridiculous!

    Apple fitness also makes maps when you’re walking. Though I guess you have to be “working out” to make the fun map 🙂

  27. @conorfurlong

    August 9, 2024 at 9:50 pm

    Maps on Apple Watch is one of my absolute favourite features of the device. It really comes into its own when you’re travelling, to never have to take out a map or your phone to navigate a city.

  28. @JJ-land

    August 9, 2024 at 10:19 pm

    Your iCloud Photo explanation missed an important step…the need to hit the box with the arrow point up to bring the options up.

  29. @fadizuabi

    August 9, 2024 at 10:48 pm

    Would of been much cheaper to upgrade to Version Ultimate plan for extra $10 a month! it comes with free international plan.

    Really disappointed. Looks like a video for year 2014 or for my 90 years old grandma. Such an advanced technology channel uploading vintage tips 😂😂😂😂

  33. @Lruiz3865

    August 10, 2024 at 3:37 am

    I really like your videos and realized you’re learning my language (Spanish) makes me feel excited

    You have such a charming personality ❤

    G map is now meh , and apple map is worse … in the end I have to cross check the two …

    238k e-mails? 😱😱😱

  40. @hummersd

    August 10, 2024 at 12:07 pm

    One tip you probably should’ve learned is to never use a USB port to charge outside of your own devices. Always plug-in to an outlet or use a battery bank.

  41. @theALEXfaust

    August 10, 2024 at 1:02 pm

    Great tips Bridget, I’m surprised myself at how many people don’t know simple things like offline maps is available, learned a couple things from your Guides section too thanks!

  42. @navaneeth_anand

    August 10, 2024 at 2:08 pm

    It’s funny that iPhone users need travel tip videos 😂

  43. @MRCOCOCITY

    August 10, 2024 at 3:57 pm

    I recommend using a VPN because some countries block access to YouTube, Instagram, etc. Also, a VPN provides you with a more private/secure connection.

  44. @karinhart489

    August 10, 2024 at 4:39 pm

    Thx. I’m fooling around with the check-in feature right now with my sister. I had no idea. And I downloaded the widget of the spare clock face to keep track of time at home when traveling. I did that on the World Clock before, but I think I’ll prefer a quick glance.

    Like Re-Watch a Bridget video because it makes me happy
