And it’s perfect for long days of sightseeing.
Samantha Brown has been a travel expert for decades, but one of her latest tips is fittingly inspired by work from long before she became known as a professional in the travel space.
“Here’s a great travel tip I actually learned being a New York City waitress,” the “Places to Love” star shared in a video post this week. “I know that no matter how comfortable your shoes are, when you’re on your feet for more than four hours, they’re tired, sweaty, they’re tired. To see also : Amazon is officially launching a high-tech fulfillment center in Clay. Not only do they need rest, they need a change of scenery.”
Brown continued, as a waitress, she started carrying a pair of flip flops and some powder to use during her breaks.
“If I was pulling a double and needed a break, I would slip my feet into flip flops,” she revealed. Flip-flops are great because it allows your feet to stretch out, they’ll get some fresh air, maybe some sun.”
She would also sprinkle some powder to absorb any moisture or any lingering stench. But wait, there’s more.
“That’s the key,” Brown said. “When I was ready to get back into my shoes, I’d put on fresh socks, sprinkle a little more powder, and I’m good to go. I’ve carried this waiter technique with me on all my trips for the last 25 years. [It’s] perfect if you’re doing the theme parks, cruise ships, even an excursion. If you have a break and want to take off your shoes, make sure no one is around, you don’t want to offend anyone, and then give your feet a break and some scenery.”
While the tip can work just about anywhere, Brown did warn in the caption to please not “use this tip on an airplane. That would be reckless.”
