Don't Forget Your Valuables In A Hotel Safe With This Little-Known Trick

Hotel guests have a knack for leaving valuables like jewelry and passports in the safe. A nifty hack to avoid that and remember your things is to put one of your shoes in the safe.
Esther Sturrus, a flight attendant for KLM, told TikTok about the hack: "Worried about forgetting something from your locker? Put your heel/shoe in it so you won't forget it!"
The hack works because you won't leave the room wearing just one shoe. Before leaving, travel expert Patricia Hajifotiou suggests checking the bed, bathroom, and balcony.
