So, the “smart luggage” trend is growing ever more popular with travelers and you’re looking to hop on the bandwagon — but you don’t know where to start. Well, we think we can help you with that.

This $30 gadget will make packing so much easier

sudshr47 March 24, 2019

As fun as traveling the world is in theory, it can also be incredibly exhausting. New places are unfamiliar and hard to get around. There are flight and train delays. There’s jet lag, and new time zones. And of course, all these problems are only exacerbated when you’re also dragging around a big, bulky bag overflowing with all your stuff. It’s with that last problem, at least, that we can offer you some help.

The Dr. Save Vacuum Travel Kit is the kind of too-simple-to-believe gadget that you’ll actually be excited to show off to your friends. After filling the airtight plastic bag full of your shirts, pants, jackets, or any other soft, malleable objects you want to travel with, you activate the vacuum pump and suck them into a compact shape. The result is your clothes will take up to 70% less space than they would’ve been without the Dr. Save. The best part? There will be way more room for snacks, books to read on the plane, or souvenirs to bring home. Read more…

Denver airport leans into conspiracy theories with elaborate gargoyle prank

sudshr47 February 28, 2019

The Denver International Airport is elaborately trolling travelers once again — this time with an animated gargoyle statue.

Over the years, the airport, which many people know of because of all the wild conspiracy theories surrounding it, has done a truly impressive job of embracing the chaos.

For its latest prank, the airport installed a talking gargoyle statue right in the middle of “Illuminati Headquarters” to throw shade, tell jokes, and confuse the hell out of travelers.

According to the airport, the statue is there to “clear the air on all the conspiracies at DEN,” and travelers seem to love it. Read more…

Stacy Garcia, founder of Stacy Garcia Inc., a licensing and design company, travels frequently as part of her job as an entrepreneur and business owner. Her company, which focuses on interior design products, has roots in hospitality design, and today includes a collection of global lifestyle brands and product lines including textiles, carpeting, furniture, and lighting.

Part of Garcia’s success is due to her “never settle” attitude. “When I believe in something, I never settle until I’ve accomplished it,” she says. “I don’t stop just because I’ve heard a few ‘no’s.’ I’ve trained myself to hear ‘not yet’ instead of ‘no.’ This challenge is what has made my journey so meaningful, and so much sweeter when I finally get the ‘yes’ I deserve.” Read more…

Binge Watching Binged Entertainment travel Tv

Shows you can binge from start to finish on long flights

sudshr47 January 22, 2019

In Binged, Mashable breaks down why we binge-watch, how we binge-watch, and what it does to us. Because binge-watching is the new normal.

You’ve booked your flight, your bag is packed, now, you’ve just got to decide what you’re going to smash out during the flight.

Long flights are the ultimate environment for binge-watching TV: meals and booze delivered right to your own personal little tray table, nowhere to be for hours but in your seat — and full concentration.

So, instead of wasting time flicking around the airline’s entertainment catalogue, prepare in advance, and catch up on a show you’ve been meaning to spend quality time with — you’ve got hours. And because you’ve got the time, you can finish the show before you land. Read more…

You ever watch something that makes you believe that maybe, just maybe, humanity isn’t a giant dumpster fire of awfulness?

Inspired by those videos where people take pictures of themselves every day for a year, YouTuber Matt Bray created his own joyful series focused on dancing.

The project started with Bray dancing — by himself over 100 days in 2014, then in 100 different places in 2015, then with 100 different people in 2016. For his latest, Bray spent a year and a half traveling around the globe to a total of 15 different countries to create “1000 People of Dance.”
