Conversations Magazine Feature: Francine Weinberg

by Cyrus Webb

We've all heard the saying if you want something done right you have to do it yourself. For those who have dedicated themselves to making the world a better place this is our mission each and every day.

For Francine Weinberg this was something that was not just necessary but vital Because of the restrictions placed on passengers when it came to traveling with personal items she realized that there was a need for a produce that was not just convenient to use but safe as well. This led her to invent Airsafe Carryon.

Why was this something that was important for her to do? It was bigger than just something that looked good for travelers.  "I lost my brother at a young age to a rare bone cancer linked to chemical exposure," she explained. "In his memory, I was determined to make a difference. I traveled often and seeing the legions of fellow travelers using these horrible make-shift cheap containers to meet airline liquid carry-on restrictions, I was determined to focus on the safety aspect coupled with convenience for millions of air travelers."

This planted the seed for what would become Airsafe Carryon, the world's only hassle-free, leak-proof integrated liquid travel system that ends the nightmare of traveling with personal liquids. Airsafe Carryon's unique dishwasher safe, BPA-free liquid containers are also made from safer food-grade plastic, which is important for carrying skin and hair liquid products.

Though she is using the funding site Kickstarter to aid in production of Airsafe Carryon, Francine is also continue to use the platform she has created to continue her advocacy to the public of safety, travel convenience and style by inviting contributors to be a part of her "The Evolution of Travel" movement.
