Buzzfeed gives horrible advice don't spend $250 on a carry-on luggage

This morning I was perusing the interwebs when I stumbled upon a Buzzfeed article by Arielle Calderon. She reviews a carry-on luggage made by Away that she's been seeing all over Instagram that costs more than $200.

Spoiler and let me save you the read, she says it's worth it. It's not. There are so many alternatives to this suitcase/traveling so you don't have to spend that ridiculous amount of money. This is probably a sponsored piece but here is what you can do instead and spend that money on the fun parts of travel. By the way, $200 can get you like two months in Southeast Asia, several plane tickets in Europe and so much more. 

Fit a large amount of items
Just type in packing hacks on Google and you'll find like 239847243 tips on how to pack and save space in your luggage or backpack. This isn't some revolutionary suitcase, it's the same size as most. It all comes down to how you pack so pack correctly.

The laundry bag was a lifesaver
So they invented a bag to put clothes in. Take it easy, Arielle. It's a bag to put clothes in. Just bring a separate bag for your dirty clothes.

All the bags also come with charger converters so you can use your battery in other countries
Get a converter on Amazon here between $10 and $20.

You can charge your phone and other devices with an ejectable battery
Traveling without a portable charger is like going to the golf course without your clubs. ALWAYS TRAVEL WITH ONE. You can find super cheap ones on Amazon. If you lost it or forgot it you can charge your phone at the airport, on the plane, on some public transportation, a Starbucks, a McDonald's, etc.

Another feature is the lock, you set a three-digit code, and when locked, you can't open the zippers
This will make you have a better piece of mind but again just Google travel hacks bag safety and you will find a bunch of cool stuff. Or just always have your luggage/backpack in front of you. Travel smart.

The wheels rotate 360 degrees for easy travel
This is standard on most bags today and just don't even consider a bag if it does't have this. Or just bring a backpack.

This is written as if this is the first suitcase ever made. It's just a regular suitcase baiting people into spending more than $250. There are very simple things you can do to enjoy the travel experience without dropping an insane amount of money on a fucking carry-on.
