As a frequent traveler, I pass hundreds of suitcases a month, and I’ll often ask a fellow nomad what makes her bag perfect. Of course, no such unicorn exists — one traveler’s Tumi Continental, after all, is another’s albatross.
Personally, I find the boxiness of a hardshell irksome, with its inability to conform both to bulky contents and to the curves of my body. My bag needs to double as a pillow for 10-hour layovers, and it has to be easy to sling on top of a ramshackle excuse for a bus, with three chickens and 20 people inside, heading up into the mountains.
My ideal travel bag is what is known as an immigration bag — and while I embrace it now, it was once a source of great childhood embarrassment.
