Don't Buy Expandable Suitcases - Here's Why

My last couple of months have been interesting and polar opposite to my 2024. I've been stationary in Canada for a few months itching to have a change of scenery so I took up my sister’s offer to visit her in a different province and take my first flight for 2025!

Which reminds me to tell you NOT to buy an expandable suitcase when purchasing your next carry-on. Why? One of my flights was on a small dash 8 plane and thankfully my Samsonite just barely fit in the carry-on overhead. If I had an expandable version, it wouldn’t have fit. The same theory goes for expandable packing cubes. If you have to rely on something to adjust, compress and resize your items, you’re simply packing too much.​

My next door province visit helped me realize how perfect the town I visited is for a pop-up coliving. I can’t get the idea out of my mind. I need to know would you ever be interested in spending time in a town with plenty of activities, instant friends, focus work environments and a chance to experience Canadian culture surrounded by lakes and mountains?

Would you be interested in a group trip or pop-up coliving hosted by Your Travel Friend?

Let me know in the comments below.

​Pop-up‘s have been extremely successful in Europe, but as a Canadian, I’d love to bring international travel friends to my home country, to see beautiful scenery and experience what we have to offer.

Thanks for reading this blog post if you got to this point, sending you a big smile!
