Sandy's Suitcase

Travel & lifestyle brand awakening the traveler in you! Creating fun filled group trips around the world for millenials to Do it now!
(3)

From the Atlantic Islands of the Azores to the desert country of Qatar my Suitcase has seen it all and carried it all! Bug spray, hair spray, body spray; you name it and its in there. As well as years of memories and experiences that I cant wait to share with hopes that it will leave you yearning to get out there and see it all. Welcome to my travel page. A place I hope will inspire and awaken the

traveler in you. I never knew I had a traveler inside until I saw people that looked different from me that weren’t on TV. Every place I travel makes me want to see more, and the more I see, the more I want to see. My appetite for travel is insatiable, as is my awe of all the beauty there is in the world. Having touched every continent besides Africa and Antarctica, my journey continues with my faithful suitcase in tow. As you read this blog my hope is that the stories and photos will awaken a desire in you to get out and see the world!! While you can! Its easier than you think and I will share through my stories how its possible to travel regularly and still maintain your life. Collecting memories and experiences are life’s little pleasures and my goal is to connect you with that thing inside, you know….in your gut, way way down that’s telling you to go out and do it. My photography may be amateur and my stories random, but they give a full and unadulterated account of travelling solo as a young female with nothing more than a trusty camera phone and an over packed suitcase. So take a journey with me as I haul my suitcase around the globe in search of wonder, culture, romance and life.

In 2024 we’re literally flying across the world with women we met on social media. Why?? Because our current circle may not have the means, time off, ability to travel or willingness to travel with us right now. And that’s OK!Travelling with a group of like minded women ready for an adventure is such an enriching experience and has created an environment of fun, respect and adventure through curating bucket list trips for women ready to go on a living spree!Ya never know, you may meet your next travel bestie at 30,000 feet! 😉 xoxo Capt Sandy 💋💜 August 6th -full Girl Talk Episode Drops!💜August 12th- 2025 Group Trips Launch!

God is in her, she will not fall. Psalm 46:5

I reflected on this verse today as I started crafting this caption.

Navig*tor.Captain.WorldTraveler.Entrepreneur.Daughter.Sister. Friend. I wear so many hats and am so many things to so many people. But above all I am a child of God. God has placed in me purpose, and as he continues to guide my path, I realize that this is just the beginning. The beginning of new things for my brand, my business, my life. I am living an answered prayer. 🙏🏾

I’ve decided to pull back the veil a little bit and show a bit more of my personality and share a bit more of my life and my journey, and this brand refresh has allowed me to further merge my career and my passion in the cultivation of The Captain That Travels.

Thank you to everyone that has supported me from my days blogging on SandysSuitcase.com and to everyone who has liked, shared and commented on my content over the years. All of these things have not gone unnoticed!

Now it’s time to amp it up!!

Hi I’m Sandy’s Suitcase also known as the Captain that travels. As most other Bahamians, I first got my passport probably around 6 months old. my earliest memory of travel was going to Miami with my family, because in the Bahamas that’s how we vacation. We go to Miami or Ft. Lauderdale to shop and we go to Orlando for the theme parks- it’s a right of passage.

However my international travel journey started with me being thrown feet first into the fire. While in my final semester in college I was hired by a Fortune 500 company and got orders to fly to the Phillipines shortly after graduation for orientation and training. And then had to fly to the Middle East to join my vessel. The rest as they say is history!

Welcome to my digital diary of how I started Sandy’s suitcase and how my career in the maritime industry was the catalyst for all the beauty and amazing things I have been able to experience.

Being pushed into solo travel was what I needed to get me out of my shell and thrust into the world. I hope I inspire you to travel deeper and to face your fears.

Be bold. Be confident. Be you.

xoxo Capt Sandy

I recently returned from celebrating my 40th birthday in Turkey with a group of 12 amazing women. One thing I realized while on that trip, was that it doesn't matter where you travel to or the specific destination, its always your outlook and mindset.

No longer caught up on the destination, but rather on savoring each moment I get to explore and enjoy "creation". Thank you God for giving us this amazing earth to discover.

Might not be exactly where I want, but I’m on the way.

Still summering with and loving these 2 piece sets! They’re so easy and comfy 🤗🤗

After travelling to 60 countries, one thing I’ve learned is that good luggage is the foundation to an amazing trip!

I designed this custom carryon piece and it was so much fun. I chose the color scheme, zippers and handles and I even got it monogrammed at the back!

The quality is soooo good and I love that it comes with compression boards that help with packing! My new obsession!

What colors should I get next??

Happy Thursday jetsetters! I was excited to wake up to 10,000 followers today! Thank you to every single travel enthusiast that is tuned into my little corner of the internet.

Let me take this time to reintroduce myself:

My name is Sandy, and I like to refer to myself as an introverted extrovert. I love being alone, but I also enjoy conversing with like minded people! My friends say everywhere we go, I can’t just hail someone and keep it moving, I have to get into an hour long convo with everyone we pass and honestly that’s my toxic trait 😭😭

I am a navig*tor by profession. Which means I drive vessels and I hold an unlimited tonnage license from the USCG allowing me to navig*te the largest vessels in the world, most of my sea going career was spent on oil and gas tankers.
I’m also an entrepreneur and manage a few businesses locally.

My travel journey got started 13 years ago when I did my first solo trip to the Phillipines for work. Since then I’ve travelled to 51 countries and now I’m fulfilling my purpose of helping others travel the world through education and inspiration. I am a travel coach, advisor and blogger and content creator!

I started getting serious about being a travel content creator last November and this journey has been a wild ride, but I’m happy to be taking it with all of you! From viral reels to neg*tive comments by Instagram trolls, I’ve taken it all in stride and have tried to see the best in every part of this journey.

My favorite place to travel to is Santorini and I took these photos while in Santorini about 6 weeks ago and was so happy with how they turned out. My photographer is theee plug!

More travels coming, more group trips coming and more real life s**t on the way!

Thank you for all the support, every like, share and comment has not gone unnoticed. 💜💜💜

Road to 20k!!!!

xoxo Capt Sandy 💋

Managing my weight while travelling is one of my biggest issues. I can have a perfectly good routine going while I’m home, but the minute I step on the plane it’s like I lose my head! On this 3 month trip through London and Turkey I gained almost 20 pounds. 😱😱

So here is what I’ve resolved to do this summer:

1/ Regular Juice Cleanses
2/ Walk 2 miles every morning
3/ Resistance training 3 times per week
4/ Get 8 hours sleep a night
5/ Drink half a gallon of water a day

Looking to jumpstart my health routine cus baybee I put on weight like I put on clothes!

Winter body here I come!

What are some things y’all do to keep your fitness routine while travelling?

26/04/2022

Riding the tube at least once is a must while in London!

It’s one of the best ways to get around, explore, & take it all in. When you’re in a new place, how do you like to get around?

A. Walking
B. Public transportation
C. Private Car for hire
D. Uber

Where do I start!! From the group chat prior to the trip, I knew these ladies were gonna be a vibe! We came together as 17 strangers and left as friends! We descended on Bali and proceeded to leave our mark on the island through our interactions with the people, immersing ourselves in the local culture and taking in all the positive vibes. Everywhere we went we were met with kind and loving people that made our trip even that more special. Thanking God for only sending positive, amazing women our way and thanking God for a safe trip to Bali. We have a host of new squad members added to @thesuitcasesquad after this trip and so excited for the future! Here’s to more trips, more laughs and more good times with the over 40 travel club!
