Welcome!

Hi There!

Welcome to The World in a Carry-On, where I prove you don’t need a suitcase the size of a small car to see the world. I’m Shay, a wanderer, storyteller, and unapologetic over-packer of memories (but never clothes). This is the place for women who crave adventure, culture, and new experiences—without the extra baggage—literally or figuratively. Grab your passport, pack your curiosity, and let’s explore the world together, one carry-on at a time.
