We're hoping that this is the year we all start traveling safely again—who's with us? And if that old suitcase collecting dust in your closet won't cut it anymore, lifestyle expert and mom Chi-Lan Lieu has two travel bags—a backpack and a carry-on suitcase (er, "closet")—that she doesn't travel without.
The Best Travel Backpack: HP Recycled Series Backpack
"When I'm in the market for a new bag," Chi-Lan says, "it kind of has a lot of boxes to fill. Not only does it have to keep me organized, which is so challenging, it has to be my mom bag, my work bag, my shopping bag—and sometimes even my overnight bag."

Plus, it has a scratch-resistant exterior, so you don't have to worry about it getting ruined in those overhead bins on the plane.
And by buying this suitcase, Chi-Lan adds, you're helping to prevent approximately 229 plastic bottles from entering and polluting the ocean.
