On the flip side, as an Airbnb host in his home city of Copenhagen, more than half of Lawaetz\u2019s guests ask for a place to leave their bags on checkout day.\r\n\r\nSince he debuted LuggageHero, he has grown the network to 150 drop-off points in Copenhagen and London. The service is endorsed by official tourist offices in both cities.\r\n\"It's a great feeling to make a concept that really helps people,\" Lawaetz said. \"Being left with your luggage can really ruin an arrival or departure day.\"\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/luggagehero.com\/press-photos\/\"><strong>Download press photos here<\/strong><\/a>\r\n\r\n<strong>Contact for information<\/strong>\r\nJannik Lawaetz, founder and CEO\r\njannik@luggagehero.com\r\nSkype: jannik.lawaetz\r\nUSA: 718-509-9271\r\n\r\n<img class=\"alignnone wp-image-763\" src=\"https:\/\/luggagehero.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/luggagehero-luggage-storage-2.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"149\" height=\"149\" \/>","links":null}],"hide_date_and_time_to_read":""}]},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.0 (Yoast SEO v27.0) -
