The simple packing trick allows you to always have multiple sockets to plug in your chargers and accessories into, no matter where in the world you travel to.

Ellen said: “Okay, so traveling tip if you’re from UK, Ireland and you’re traveling around Europe, bring on extension lead and then bring your adapters.

“And then so you just plug your extension into your adapter and then you have all this for your chargers, hair straighteners, everything – so you don’t have to bring a load of them.”

Ellen told the Irish Sun: “I always use old Shein bags or plastic bags to organise my outfits for a trip.

“So each bag has a days outfit.”

When packing it can be difficult to cut down on liquids.

She said: “Try bringing a shampoo bar and conditioner to cut down.”

The travel lover warned people not to book through a third party website because it can be “very hard to get your money back if anything goes wrong”.

Ellen added: “Try book directly with the hotel, rather than package deals.

“They often add on hidden charges.”

In another video, Ellen reveals her go-to hack for booking cheap flights.

She said: “First, I’m going to show you I also got them for a cheap as possible.

“So, first things first, we’re on a laptop that we haven’t looked at open before.

“And we’re going to do a one way on Skyscanner first.”

Ellen compares different airlines.

She continued: “And the reason I always say to my first I search one way on the way and one way on the way back is because it’s easy to see the individual flight.

“Because if you put in a return flight, you’re given the limited times and I was put down the same airline for another time.

“If you fly with one airline one way and one other way it’s cheaper.”

The travel blogger shares her tips and tricks in her own podcast called Whereisellengrace.
