Sara Banks, Mark Duckenfield and family.

The first time I speak to Sara Banks, a keen traveller and founder of the luxury luggage company, SteamLine Luggage, it had been one month since she and her family had returned from 90 weeks of travelling the world. And they were off again.

“We’re going to the States for a month tomorrow,” Banks smiles, listing off her family’s names: her husband, Mark Duckenfield, and their four children, Milo, 10, Reuben, 8, Benji, 6, and Felix, 3.
