If you're constantly staying in hotel rooms, take a picture of your door number when you get to your room. That way you have the number easily accessible and don't have to do something unsafe like writing it on the key/paper key sleeve. Same tip works for coat&bag checks, take a picture of the tag in case it falls out of your pocket.

My favorite travel tip... Packing cubes. I have had my travel transformed thanks to packing cubes. I can leave them in my bag like you do and pull out the one I need or unpack into drawers but just unzip and open the cube in the drawer. As my trips move along, I have clean and dirty cubes and the dirty ones stay packed. Mind you that I used to travel for a few weeks at a time with multiple destinations.

Hey Swayne! Absolutely love the content and it's been very helpful to me as I'm currently enrolled to start my flight training this coming spring at a flight university (which happens to be the same one you attended!) and I absolutely cant wait to get started on my passion. The information that you provide to help guide students like myself along that path is extremely useful and very inspiring, better than anyone could ask for! I have a question for you, I recently watched the podcast you did with MentourPilot (aswell as your video about rod and haley), and one point that really struck me and has stuck with me since I watched was your explanation of the interpersonal connections and network that you developed within the industry. That seems to be one of the largest factors that sets you apart from the average pilot climbing the student-regional-mainline ladder. I was wondering if you had any specific advice for networking or how to go about it, as in, what types of activies, events, or just general actions ended up leading you to so many meaningful relationships with people in the industry as well as so many friendships like yours with Rod and Haley? Thanks for the content :D

Hi Swayne, at 04:12...you forgot to mention your power strip. I always pack an extension cord or power strip whenever I travel because oftentimes the outlets near the nightstand are taken by the lamps so there isn't an available outlet for my mobile phone and/or laptop chargers. For people who sail on cruises, the cabins have limited outlets (only two outlets) so an extension cord is useful for charging your phones, laptops and digital alarm clocks.
