Let’s celebrate a big shout out to H-LIT Retreater, Kenny Hertz, entertainment attorney-entrepreneur and co-founder of performance travel luggage G-RO: the most successful crowdfunded luggage ever (1,000% funded in 6 hours!). G-RO is back again with a new season of stellar design travel luggage that makes you feel special! The new Kickstarter campaign (400% funded in 24 hours) goes through July 18th. Order now so you can have your own trustworthy, reliable, durable, unique and innovative G-RO, too!
So why I am pontificating about luggage? Is it the durable craftsmanship? The sexy design by co-founder Netta Shalgi? The ergonomics even for petite but mighty travelers, or the joy of getting stopped by strangers with my G-RO as the topic starter? Yes, it’s all of that, and also, because however odd this may sound, those big dependable agile smiley wheels feelanthropomorphic. I admit it, my G-RO has become my Watson, my R2D2, my stunning trustworthy loyal 2 or 4-wheeler- travel friend at my side. And my family of G-ROs has grown… it’s not just my Carry-on Classic, but the Backpack Light Classic, too, with extra padding for my laptop, a high security back-pocket, water bottle spot, lots of secret compartments, and an easy slide fit over carry-on handlebar.
And now—the new SIX is out—the hard-shell version--that can double as a chair while still sporting those sexy nimble wheels, with a front-push technology and a handle that emulates driving a motorcycle. Honestly, I FEEL better, and know I am safer as a nomadic travelling writer with my G-ROs… And all of that adds up to traveling the world, experiencing all it has to offer with more confidence and joy… and that… well, that, equals an improved outlook on life, which in turn equals better writing… Yeah, I’m going out on a limb to say: G-RO, travel better, live better, write better. With 35,000 bags shipped to over 70 countries, join the G-RO revolution alongside early investors like Will Smith, will.i.am, Guy O’Seary, and Scooter Braun, etc…
WRITE WELL! AND TRAVEL PROUDLY AND SAFELY!
Yours, Lynn (a.k.a. Zoom)
