Summer vacation is coming. It is time for planning your next trips. So let’s talk about luggages and how to choose the right luggage for your trips. One simply hates suitcases because they are usually oversized, heavy, bulky and impractical. Another one simply loathes backpacks because they are usually small, too casual and unfriendly to his/her back.

I totally agree with both of them because I don’t think there is the right or the wrong luggage for someone. For you. As I truly believe that the right luggage really depends on what kind of trip that you’re going to take.

I love traveling abroad, and taking both short and long domestic trips. I love carrying eBags Mother Lode TLS family while doing it, from the medium-sized eBags TLS 25″ Expandable Upright, eBags TLS Mother Lode Mini 21″ Wheeled Duffel, eBags Mother Lode TLS Weekender Convertible to the small-sized eBags TLS Mother Lode Weekender Convertible Junior.
