These suitcases are the best. Bigger carryon and the medium have both gotten me through 10 day trips abroad. Someone they manage to hold a lot! Love that they are durable and also lock.

This is my go to for travel no matter the time of year. On the plane it doubles as blanket or a pillow. I can use it as a scarf or wrap in cooler destinations. It works as a blanket as needed. It’s just so versatile!
Lululemon vinyasa scarf
One of the first things I pack! I am never without juice. This is vital for staying charged for posting, maps and pictures. It charges everything I have and it easy to pack and transport.

I would be lost with out this, especially when using a carryon. The amount of things this can carry is ridiculous! There are so may compartments including one for wet items. The sides cinch down to compress items. This is seriously worth it!
