housesitting tipsOver our past decade on the road, housesitting has become an essential component in our travel lives, one in which we truly immerse ourselves in a region and live like a local—for less than $20 a day.

As someone who has traveled by air far too many times to count, I can tell you that one of the best travel tips anyone ever gave me was to always have good carry-on luggage.

With checked baggage fees being through the roof and airlines losing suitcases, it makes sense financially and practically to have carry-on luggage as your sole piece of luggage whenever possible.

Of course, that means you need a durable and long-lasting piece. These small and compact suitcases come with many different features and benefits while fitting into the designated airline carry-on dimensions, typically a space about 14 x 9 x 22 inches.

To help you choose the best carry-on luggage for your upcoming travels, I’ve put together this list of some of my favorite options that are the best in their class.
