When some people choose to travel, they want to keep up with their exercise routine in order to stay fit. However, a new study is suggesting that a number of people who travel for business rather than pleasure were more likely to adopt unhealthy habits that could lead to obesity.The Montreal Gazette is reporting that researchers from Columbia University examined more than 13,000 business travelers for a one-year period. They found that individuals who travel the most were more likely to have a large body mass index (BMI).Although the research covered business travelers, it’s important that those on vacation keep the results in mind, particularly if they like to go away frequently.As a result of this study, travelers may want to consider keeping up with their healthy habits even while on vacation.
The Swift 22-inch rolling bag is another winner from Eagle Creekif you prefer an open compartment over multiple pockets.
With most airlines sticking it to you for checking a bag on domestic flights, but only one in the U.S. charging you for a carry-on, most frequent fliers have gravitated to a 22-inch bag. These generally fit into the overhead bin okay and if youre just moving around airports and hotels, youve got wheels to make it easy. If you pack well, you can get by for four or five days with one this size, or longer if you do some laundry. This Swift one from Eagle Creek has a capacity of 45 liters or 2,750 cubic inches.
Theres nothing fancy about the organization of this bag.

Jelle Oostrom is a travel writer and photographer based in the Netherlands, and has interesting photo galleries of his journeys to Morocco, Andalucia, Thailand, Portugal, Italy and Indonesia.
In common with most photographer who travel to Morocco, Jelle’s gallery of this country is predominantly of streetscapes, landscapes and, with a couple of exceptions, of people from a distance (as most Moroccans dislike being photographed for cultural reasons).
I especially liked Jelle’s photographs of Chefchaouen; the well known “indigo blue” town close to Tangier and the Spanish enclave of Ceuta.
