RIMOWA Essential Cabin Review: Is It Worth The Money?

Hello all! I finally gave in to the RIMOWA hype. I didn’t jump on the RIMOWA train right away. I knew I wanted something durable, but I also wanted a suitcase with a little personality. The Original Line (aka the aluminum one)? Iconic, yes — but also a little too serious for me, and way too easy to mix up with half the other bags circling baggage claim. That’s what initially pulled me toward the RIMOWA Essential Cabin. Same clean RIMOWA look, but lighter, more playful, and available in colors that...

RIMOWA Original Vs. RIMOWA Essential: Which Is Right For You?

If you travel even a little, you’ve probably noticed it: RIMOWA suitcases are everywhere. Airports, train stations, hotel lobbies… their ribbed aluminum shell can be spotted effortlessly. It’s basically become a travel status symbol. Maybe you swore you didn’t need one… until you kept seeing them roll by and started thinking, “Okay but why does everyone have this exact suitcase? What am I missing out on?” Once you get past the sticker shock and decide you’re finally going to buy one for yourself, the real question kicks in: which RIMOWA do...

RIMOWA vs. Tumi: Which Luggage Brand Is Better?

How to Find a Cheap Car Rental

I love road trips. You get in car and can just head off anywhere you want. There’s a freedom to a road trip that you can’t get with trains (and, don’t get me wrong, I love train travel too). Small towns, beautiful parks, historic buildings….whatever you see, you can stop for and can stay as little or as long as you’d like! Over the years, I’ve been on dozens of road trips. Some destinations are just meant for them (think New Zealand, Ireland, Iceland, the United States, South Africa, etc,...

Holafly eSIMs: A Better Way to Stay Connected When You Travel

When you’re traveling, staying connected is essential. Whether you’re figuring out the best route to your hostel, finding a place to eat, or translating a train schedule or menu, having reliable data makes life on the road infinitely easier. I still remember my early days of travel carrying a physical guidebook around as I wandered the streets looking for my accommodation. Or, when smartphones became widespread, searching for a SIM card kiosk to buy a physical SIM, trying to poorly communicate with staff in a language I didn’t know, and spending...
