Setting the goal to travel more is the easy part…figuring out the logistics can be more challenging. One thing that will take some worry from your mind is how much easier packing will be with this awesome duffle! You’ll love how roomy the interior is for all your clothes and toiletries. There are also plenty of pockets (inside and out) to keep things organized, and the zipper opens extra wide for easy access once you’re on your trip. Need to take extra luggage with you? Then you’ll really appreciate the comfy shoulder strap, which allows your hands to be free to carry other things, or use the handy trolley sleeve to hook your duffle onto your rolling luggage.

Reading more is a wonderful way to relax. You can set aside the cares of the outside world and let your imagination paint beautiful pictures in your mind and enjoy the excitement of a riveting story. Even though people want to read more, it’s hard to make the time to do so, but achieving this goal is so much easier when your books or e-readers are close at hand. This handy backpack purse is perfect for the job. You can carry your reading materials with you wherever you go, along with other needed items like your wallet, keys, cell phone and more. The best part? This compact bag has comfy shoulder straps, so you can keep your hands free and won’t feel bogged down.
