Pavia Rosati s Expert Packing List: Smart Travel Hacks with Vacuum-Seal Bags

Fathom co-founder and CEO Pavia Rosati once transported a month's worth of clothing and a king-sized down comforter in a carry-on bag on a transcontinental flight. Her secret? Vacuum-seal bags. Here are the rest of the tricks in her smart travel arsenal:

For me, the real charm of travelling is only leaving in now and not two years from now. Because two years from now, that place might still be there, but its originality might be lost. So yea, I hate making a bucket list or creating a set of travel goals for me. I think they’re crap. Also, as a full-time Indian travel b

    Contributing editor Stephanie March is adamantly against flat packing and utterly in love with her suitcase. Heres how she rolls:Carry-on: There almost arent enough superlatives to describe my Tumi bag. My bag contracts, expands, rolls, is a carry-on, has several clever and accessible compartments, and has withstood the rigors of globetrotting for nearly twelve years. Not to mention, Tumi has an excellent service center and will perfor
