🧳Which Suitcase is Right for Your Next Trip? Carry-on Queen approved!🎒
Hi friends! I’m heading out on a cruise to the Bahamas next week, and as a self-proclaimed carry-on queen, I’m here to share my best suitcase and packing suggestions to help you travel lighter, smarter, and with a lot less stress.
I never trust the airlines with my luggage (and you shouldn’t either if you can help it!). Packing everything you need for a week into a carry-on is totally doable — and I’m going to show you how. Plus, I’ve rounded up my favorite high-end, mid-range, and budget-friendly carry-on suitcases (all overhead-bin approved!) and a few great tote bags to make your airport experience even easier.
Let’s dive in — literally — because paradise is waiting! 🌴✨
