What to Do When You Return From a Trip – Best Advice from TikTok’s Favorite Grandma

woman traveller

No one has your back more than Babs when it comes to sound advice.

Babs Costello, also known on TikTok as “everyone’s grandmother,” is a grandmother of eight and mother of four who freely shares her advice with her nearly 2 million followers, including easy recipes, how to treat mosquito bites, and how to clean your oven.

Much to our delight, she frequently shares her favorite travel hacks, including a recent post in which she shared the three things she always does when she returns from a trip, which we should all do.

Her first tip, on the other hand, might not be everyone’s favorite after a long flight.

“Tip number one: unpack as soon as possible; don’t put it off; get [it] done. Immediately unpack,” she finished with a firm finger shake.

She then went on to describe a packing hack she and her husband, “Mr. Babs,” use to ensure an easy laundry process when they return home.

“Mr. Babs and I used to put dirty clothes in one suitcase and clean clothes in another,” she explained. “Dirty clothes go straight into the machine, clean clothes go straight into your drawer.”

Babs, who recently visited France, added, “Put your suitcase away once it’s empty. You wouldn’t want to trip over them in the middle of the night, would you?”

As for the second thing she always does, Babs explained that she orders pizza for her first dinner back.

“Who wants to cook the day they return?” she inquired. “Want to go a step further? Order your groceries to be delivered on the day you return.”

Her most important piece of advice, however? It all comes down to self-care.

“You need to rest,” she advised. “Once you’re all set and everything is unpacked, hop in the shower, put on your jams, and crawl into bed. Before I leave for vacation, I like to put fresh sheets on the bed so when I crawl in, it’s heavenly,” she added.

Babs recently shared tips for overcoming jetlag upon arrival for those planning a trip abroad soon.
