CUSTOMISING MY TRAVEL ‘LOOK’
February 21, 2014My learning journey continues… today!
So as I pack my bags to start travelling once again I ponder about buying a new suitcase. This year I have fifteen speaking and training trips that I know about already that are planned and in the calendar.
I know that I don’t actually need a new case, my current two (one medium and one large) black numbers on wheels are sturdy and have seen me through numerous trips, but I want some colour in my travelling life.
The way I have done this so far (and also to differentiate my black case from the hundreds of black cases at the airport baggage claim ) is to adorn it with numerous colourful baggage straps top to bottom and side to side in a sort of criss-cross fashion – so that mine stands out from the crowd.
What I would really like is to customise my cases – so rather than buy a new one have decided to start adding stickers and badges on my plain black ones. Recreating something like the case shown below is what I have in mind, however, it won’t have the character and richness of being on a lovely brown leather case, as in days gone by.
I can slowly transform my dull black cases into a thing of some character and beauty like this lovely specimen.
First overseas trip this year is today, 24th February, to Kazakhstan, where I am delivering a management training programme for executives at a Corporate University all week. At least my first new badges will be from somewhere that I have never been before.
There will be updates on this blog about how my customised travel look is developing. I also always post films from my travels on my Facebook and LinkedIn pages – so connect with me on social media using this my ONE digital signature.
