Alright, so, let’s talk about my recent escapade with travel bags, or as they say in Portuguese, “mala de viagem.” I needed a new one for my trip, and, boy, was it a journey in itself!
The Hunt Begins
First off, I went online. I typed in “mala de viagem” and boom! Tons of options. There were different sizes, colors, brands, you name it. I saw some from Samsonite, which, you know, is a pretty big name in the luggage world. Then there were those online stores like Continente Online, showing off all sorts of deals on cabin bags and backpacks. It was a bit overwhelming, to be honest.
The Store Visit
I decided to check out some physical stores. I remember seeing this one shop with a whole range of trolleys, backpacks, padlocks, you name it. But, I was specifically looking for something medium-sized, made of polypropylene, and with those cool 360-degree wheels. I did spot this white one from AeroMalas Miami, which looked pretty sleek.
The Online Dilemma
Back online, I stumbled upon this website called Worten. They had these cabin bags, the 55x40x20 ones, from top brands like American Tourister. And then I found this giant travel bag with wheels and an aluminum handle, which was tempting for a moment. But I was more into the hard-shell ones, you know? Like the ABS fiber ones or the polypropylene ones with an expander and 360-degree wheels.
The Decision
After a lot of back and forth, I finally made up my mind. I found this perfect “mala de viagem” that was just right. It wasn’t too big or too small. It had those four 360-degree wheels that I really wanted, and it was made of polypropylene. It was a bit of a splurge, but hey, it’s an investment, right?
The Aftermath
- The Purchase: Finally bought the “mala de viagem.”
- Packing: Started packing for my trip. The bag was spacious, and everything fit perfectly.
- The Trip: Used the bag. It was smooth, sturdy, and those wheels were a lifesaver!
So, that’s my story about finding the perfect “mala de viagem.” It was a bit of a process, but in the end, it was all worth it. Now, I’m all set for my travels, with a bag that’s both stylish and functional. Who knew shopping for luggage could be such an adventure?
