Here’s the good news: the Eurostar is not quite as strict as some airports. You can bring over 100ml of liquids in your checked luggage (if you have any), but on a train, you usually don’t check bags. So, just embrace the tiny life. Buy travel-size bottles. Get used to smelling like a miniature version of yourself. It’s freeing, honestly—like a detox for your toiletry bag.
And remember: you can always buy a giant bottle of water after security, right before you board. It’s the same overpriced water, but it tastes like victory because you passed the test. So, next time you’re packing, do a quick scan and ask yourself: “Is this liquid worth the emotional turmoil?” If the answer is “yes,” squeeze it into that clear bag. If it’s “no,” just leave it at home. Your future self will thank you when you’re not sweating at the X-ray machine.
Safe travels, and may your shampoo never exceed 100ml.
