Going on a trip is always an exciting adventure. You get to know new places and new people. And when you travel to another country, maybe you get to know a different culture.
What I don’t like about traveling is packing suitcases. How many pants, shirts and socks do I need? Do I need mosquito repellent or a rain jacket? And do I need sunscreen or blister plasters? And how do I get all that into my suitcase?
But anyway, we’re not talking about packing suitcases today. We are talking about the word for luggage in Spanish.
The Spanish word for luggage is el equipaje.
Now let’s see which words we use with luggage and what the Spanish translations are.
