Determine your needs
Ask yourself: who are you? A frivolous traveler with a toothbrush or a tourist who takes an iron, three pillows and a supply of stew in case of a nuclear winter? If you, like me, prefer the second option, take a larger suitcase. Preferably one that will fit not only your things, but also your optimism.
Wheels are our everything!
A suitcase without wheels is just a cupboard with a handle. Get one with four wheels. They spin in all directions, like my life after Friday. With such a suitcase, you can circle around the airport without straining your back, and feel like a real lady on a walk.
Color matters
A black suitcase is a classic. But do you know how many of these black classics are on the baggage carousel? One and a half million. Want adventure? Buy a pink suitcase with polka dots or a green one with giraffes. Yes, they will laugh at you. But you will never lose it among the crowd of boring suitcases.
The main thing is the zipper!
The zipper should be so strong that it can withstand the pressure of your "oh, I still need to take this!" It is better if it is double. One fastens, and the second screams: "Woman, stop, this is too much!"
Secret expansion
Pay attention to suitcases with a zipper to increase volume. This is a clever thing that turns your suitcase into a light truck. It is especially useful for the return home, when you need to pack magnets, shells, souvenirs, a couple of watermelons and a beach umbrella.
Important check!
Before buying a suitcase, take it for a test drive. Put something heavy in it (for example, your cat), close it and drag it around the store. If the suitcase starts to protest or the cat gets out, look for another one.
A suitcase is not just a thing. It is your reliable travel companion, your secret storage and, in extreme cases, a chair at the airport. Choose with love and remember: a real master of packing will always find a place to shove another sweater.
So, are you ready for your next trip? Write in the comments what you usually forget to take with you. For me, it's toothpaste. Well, or a passport.
