A woman has explained her practice of recording her luggage on video before embarking on a trip.
In her video sharing a travel tip, she mentioned that passengers frequently devise new methods to safeguard their possessions during international travel.
Robin shared a video on her TikTok account @robinontheroad, revealing her secret experience with holiday trips. In the video, she explained that she always films her luggage for evidence before boarding a flight
A caption over the video read: "I always record my luggage when I'm in line to check-in at the airport, just in case, for evidence. It's saved me twice."
