- The maximum travel liquid you are allowed to carry on is 3.2 ounces.
- ScotteVest coats and vests have tons of hidden pockets that allow you to carry up to 20 pounds at a time.
- Make sure you’re carrying some of your liquids in those pockets; that way it gets scanned through the TSA pre-check
Hello, everyone. This is Shauna, the traveling Tax Goddess. If you guys know me from my other channel, Tax Goddess, I am a CPA with a passion for travel. I am so excited this year. Let me back up a second. At this point in time, I believe I have traveled to 48 countries. We always keep the count up to date on the Without Bags homepage, but I love, love, love, love traveling, absolutely adore traveling. I’ve been to the east, to the west, to the south, to the north. I am originally from Canada, and now live in the sunny Scottsdale, Arizona, which so many people come here for travel. I love my home state here in the states!
Today is the very first live Facebook video. The plan is to do one of these guys every Tuesday. I’ll bring you guys some interesting fascinating things about travel, places I’ve been, and about tips and tricks for travel. The name of the site is Without Bags. Something you should know: When I travel, if it doesn’t fit in the carry-on, it does not come with me. Make sure that you check out our blog and subscribe to the channel because I want to bring you guys value and lots of fun and fascinating places around the world.
Today’s tip: Traveling with liquids. Especially if you’re doing a carry-on, there are maximum sizes. I believe right now it’s about 3.2 ounces, maximum size of travel liquids that you’re allowed to bring. I kind of cheat a little bit, right? What you’re supposed to have is one clear plastic bag with all your liquids in it. One of my favorite travel hacks, of course make sure that you’ve got the TSA pre-check so that you can get through the lines faster, but that also means that they don’t bother me about liquids that are in the pockets of my clothing.
For example, and I’ll make sure we link to this as well, ScotteVest makes my favorite travel vest. I have their vest and I have one of their trench coats; it’s long red. You can always see me in the airport. Those things have tons of hidden pockets. My vest, which is the one that I take with me more frequently, can carry up to about 20 pounds worth of gear in all those hidden pockets, including my 3.2 travel size liquid containers, which by the way you can get from the Dollar Store, so don’t pay the big expensive ones. Make sure when you’re screwing on the top of that lid, you’re putting a little bit of saran wrap on there so that stuff won’t explode in the pressure of the cabin. Make sure you’re throwing some of that liquid into your pockets, so that it does get scanned through the TSA pre-check. Of course you have to scan it, but definitely a way to sneak on some more liquids.
I wanted to give you guys that little tip today, and I am so, so, so excited to start off this channel with live video this year. I’m looking forward to bringing you guys more tips and tricks. If you have any questions, feel free to email us from the site or reach out on Twitter, Facebook, or send us a message. We will definitely get you an answer, and I can’t wait to start bringing you guys some of the trips from this upcoming year.
