In a world where virtually everything you use is getting a “smart” upgrade (your phone, your TV, your thermostat…), doesn’t it make sense that your luggage stays with the times? After all, traveling can be exhausting and stressful, and in order for any trip to be beneficial, you need to find simple and useful ways to minimize stress and maximize enjoyment. According to the Harvard Business Review, “most of the happiness gleaned from vacation is dependent upon the stress level of the vacation. Poorly planned and stressful vacations eliminate the positive benefit of time away. The less the stress, the more likely you will experience a positive benefit from the time off.” Whether you travel for business or pleasure, if you’re stressed—and one of the biggest sources of stress is about packing—then you won’t get the most out of your travel time. It’s time for your suitcase to help you by being more than just an empty bag to shove lots of crap in; it’s time for your suitcase to get smart so you don’t have to worry and you can just enjoy.
