I'm moving to Manizales, Colombia for two years and need help with luggage suggestions. I lived in South Korea for a year, and I now know what to bring/not bring; however, my luggage only lasted for a couple of years-the wheels and base broke off. Does anyone have any suggestions on durabe, affordable (as in cheap) luggage brands I can buy online. Links or store names would also be helpful!! I live in Washington State now, so I can go to a store as well. Also, I need to stay within the limits of 2 check-in bags, 50lbs max each, and one carry-on, 22lbs max. Please help me!!!

Don't buy cheap luggage it's not worth at all. You should buy the most expensive luggage like i do

I bought a beautiful samsonite during the mid year sales last year and i got it for $200 instead of $400

Also if you buy a crappy suitcase people will think you are poor 😞 so buy this one instead 😊

Haha...well I certainly don't want people to think I'm poor, although I am....that cracks me up! You are right, though, I need to invest in quality luggage, so thanks for the suggestion!! :-) Reply to this
