When it’s time to travel, many of us abandon our healthy habits well before reaching the security check-point. Last-minute packing, negotiating crowded airports, and long flights breathing recycled cabin-air can cause even the most healthy traveler to feel stressed and downright ill. However, by taking a few precautions, you can stay healthy and enjoy your next trip. Before You Board Get some rest: It’s...

The tugo™ isn’t just for coffee and fountain drinks anymore! With the new h2otugo™ accessory now available, the tugo can now carry water bottles, juices, baby bottles… pretty much anything you can fit in the 2 3/4″ wide opening that you want to keep handy during travel. Retail options now include the basic tugo, the tugo + h2otugo, and just the h2otugo if you already have a tugo but want...

We were certainly surprised when we heard that Maxim Magazine (yes, THAT Maxim) was going to include the tugo in their summer travel article. Not exactly the demographic we had been targeting… …but leave it to them to come up with a new selling point we had not thought of: picking up chicks. Find it on page 40 of the July 2010 issue; now available at newsstands.

Last March’s TGA Travel Goods Show in Las Vegas was the official launch of the tugo. Hard to believe, but that means that it has been on the market for a year now! A lot has happened in that year, and our blog has included some of the highlights, like in July when the tugo was featured on the Today Show, or in August when KLM Airlines’s iFly magazine included the tugo with such travel necessities...

In the leftover holiday spirit, now we want to know your best experience while sitting next to a stranger on a plane. Did someone help you when you needed a hand, or show some generosity when you least expected it? We want to know your best airplane...

Coffee Fest Seattle 2009 was held downtown at the Washington State Convention & Trade Center September 25-27. This was the first coffee-themed show for the tugo team, and we knew it was going to be fun… …and it was! The smell of fresh pulls started shortly before the doors opened each day, and lasted until the final attendees filtered out. The energy was high (perhaps due to the availability...

We always hope our travels are smooth sailing, but we all know the reality of traveling during the holiday season. With a tugo attached to your bag, any layover or delay will include the extra convenience of a “third hand.” Anything that can make a...

On the classic Seinfeld episode titled "The Airport," Elaine's seatmate doesn't like to check his bags, so getting to the bathroom is quite comical. Ah, air travel. Where else do you end up in a confined space, sitting elbow to elbow with someone (or two people, if you are the unlucky middle seat!) you have never met for an extended period of time? This situation can lead to some extreme but...
