1. What is workation? What kind of travel style is it?

Title

Workcation is a new lifestyle where you can enjoy traveling while working.

A way of working that combines "work" and "vacation."
With the increase in companies' teleworking systems and freelancers,

In recent years, the style of "working while refreshing in nature" has been gaining attention.

Hotels, co-working spaces, and seaside cafes away from the hustle and bustle of the city.

It allows you to relax while still remaining productive.


For this reason, many people are adopting workation as a way to change their mood and improve their productivity .

Mobility and comfort required for workation

Title

Workcation involves a lot of traveling and doing work at your accommodation,

The elements required for a suitcase also change.

  • Designed to safely store laptops and gadgets
  • Lightweight body that reduces fatigue while traveling
  • A design that blends in with the interior of your destination
  • Scalability for long-term stays

In other words, the ideal suitcase is not just a "travel bag," but one that can be used like a "mobile office."

4. Tips for packing for workcation: Organize your work tools and daily necessities wisely

Title

Since workation combines the elements of "work" and "travel," the contents of your suitcase will be a little different from those on a regular trip.
Here are three tips for efficient and stress-free packing .

table of contents

1. Make "ease of access" your work tools your top priority

2. Store your clothes in three separate zones

3. Don't forget your refreshment items

① Make "ease of access" your work tools your top priority

Title

When working remotely, make sure that quick access is your number one priority so that you can get to work immediately while traveling or at your accommodation.

  • Keep all your gadgets in a dedicated pouch : Keep chargers, mice, etc. in a gadget pouch and keep it in a place where you can easily access them, such as the front pocket of your suitcase.
  • Digitalize all documents : Convert paper documents to PDF as much as possible. If necessary, store them in slim files and separate them from your clothes to prevent wrinkles.
  • Sort cables by frequency of use : Leave behind only essential PC-related cables, or keep spares to a minimum. Only carry what you need in your pouch.
Title

② Store your clothes in three zones

Title

To avoid having to turn the contents of your suitcase upside down while you're staying at your accommodation, make sure to store your clothes in separate compartments according to how often you use them and the occasion.

  1. [Upper Zone] Clothes and underwear you will wear immediately : Place clothes you will wear on the day of arrival or the next day, as well as underwear and loungewear, in a place where you can easily access them when you open your suitcase, such as on the lid .
  2. [Lower Zone] Clothes for the second half of your stay and heavy items : Put clothes you won't wear yet at the bottom (the side with wheels) along with heavy items (shoes, etc.). Rolling up your clothes will help reduce wrinkles and space.
  3. [Pockets] Dirty clothes and small items : Keep a folding laundry bag inside and use the gaps in your suitcase to store small items such as socks and belts.
Title

3. Don't forget to bring refreshment items

Title

Don't forget to pack self-care items that will help you switch between work and personal time smoothly and increase your work efficiency while traveling.

  • Bring a small amount of refreshing items with you : Bring travel-sized items like aroma oils and bath salts to help you refresh yourself. Don't forget to take precautions against leaks.
  • Keep your amenities in a hanging pouch : If you keep your shampoo and cosmetics in a hanging travel pouch , you can set up your bathroom as soon as you arrive at your hotel.
  • "Extra space" for the journey home : Leave about 1/5 of your suitcase empty from the start for souvenir space, or use compression bags to reduce the stress of packing for the journey home.
