I travel all over. This year I've been to Berlin, Rotterdam, Venice, Paris, throughout the States and to Malaysia (where I was born.) When I'm in town I tend not to carry bags, and I like to travel without a lot of luggage.
 I look for inventive ways of making pockets, so you don't just stuff them. Everybody has a wallet, a MetroCard, a phone, but you don't want them all jumbled together. Then there are the papers you need to have on hand - but if you just put them in your pocket they could slip out, so zippers are very important. The right sizes and shapes also matter - pockets need to be deep enough that your keys don't fall out. I'm always thinking about how to make them more useful and beautiful.
Even if you rarely fly, you probably travel every day. Commuting and traveling are essentially the same ting - getting from point A to point B. The journey is not just from here to Venice, but also from your office to your home. I'm trying to solve the overall problem.
