What's your suitcase story?

•

Stressful packing? Never again.
Have thought will travel.

With as little as 15 to 30 minutes, you can transform your emotional luggage to clever check-in or carry-on. Stop paying for extra luggage. Try these on for size & see how you can make the most out of your suitcase while you travel for work.

To get started, I suggest these top 3 things to consider, unless you're going to shop for new stuff at your destination:

ONE: What's your trip going to be about? Will there be any dress codes involved?
In a recent duty travel, I had 3 dress-codes for 3 days: Day 1- our red logo tees, Day 2- black with a hint of red, Day 3- white shirts with blue jeans. I chose the dress code items first & built my outfits around them. No dress code? Design your own. Pay attention to the footwear you pack too.

TWO: How long is your trip?

THREE: What will your traveling days be like? ie the days where you perform your return (or one-way and / or connecting) trips.

Will you be leaving from work? Is your return flight going to be at night? How comfortable is your outfit while you're on a long-haul flight in your cattle class seat? And ladies - how susceptible are you to experience water retention & land with swollen feet? This may influence what you put in your cabin luggage in order to ensure comfort while you fly.

Stay safe & above all, design your own style everywhere you go.

Key idea: Great foundation works every time. Transform single-function devices into rocking ensembles! Whenever possible, I aim to use a backpack, but 4-wheel drive trolley luggage work well too: I can have them next to me instead of dragging my bag behind me all the time.

Make hand-luggage handy for you, not for potential pick-pockets. Stay hands-free as secure as possible. Ladies, most of the makeup kit can go into the check-in luggage, ok?
