The Worry-Free Party: Be Prepared When Traveling, Better Too Much Than Too Little

With the mentality of bringing more than enough when traveling, Lucky Star reader expressed: "I prepare carefully and thoughtfully. When I arrive, I don't have to suffer because of lack of supplies. I also bring a hair dryer, medicine, and money so I can feel secure when getting on the car."

This reader thinks that luggage should be checked in when boarding the bus. "If you are willing to put in a little effort and change it back to have enough for the trip, you should prepare it."

Ms. Thu Trang Nguyen shared: "My friend went to Da Lat for 3-4 days and brought two suitcases."

Mr. Ledang Khoa added: "It's like my house. Every time my wife goes somewhere, the room is like a battlefield because it's set up to choose what to bring."

At first he was shocked, but later he felt normal. "If she doesn't make a mess when she goes somewhere, it means she's not excited about the trip. Guessing your wife's mood through her travel preparations is an art," he joked.

Agreeing, Mr. Hoang Binh said: "My wife went to Da Lat with her agency. The women did not go to the store to buy some each. There were avocados and bananas. On the day of return, my wife brought two more bags in addition to her luggage."

Reader Tam commented that everyone has their own personality. I just do what feels comfortable and reassuring. It is also good to be careful when preparing for travel.

Subtly, reader NTMN analyzed that men and women traveling for a long time will bring different things. "Men pack light and have less stuff, while women of course bring a lot because they have many items, clothes and accessories... So please sympathize with them," he advised.

Ms. Na Na humorously said that the author of the article "is free but free like me, it's better to bring the wrong thing than to miss out. When you buy a lot of things, you have to bring a lot to wear well and take beautiful pictures. That's our truth."

Mr. Nguyen Thanh Phuoc analyzed that if you do not research and choose a room in advance, it will be more difficult to get there. Unless you rent a 3-star room or higher, you will not have to think about it.

Reader thie****@gmail.com said that in early April, he went from Ho Chi Minh City to Thai Nguyen and then back to Hanoi. He brought very little stuff and took a bus for only 9,000 - 20,000 VND. The motel at the bus station had full amenities, and renting a motorbike cost 80,000 VND/day in Thai Nguyen. He washed his own clothes and hung them on the rooftop of the motel. "With a little bit of life skills, it's not complicated," he concluded.

The 'relieved' faction: Reading this makes me tired, why do you bring so much when traveling?

From another perspective, most male readers think that traveling with a lot of luggage is exhausting. "Reading it makes me tired, it's so fussy and time-consuming," Huy said frankly.

Mr. Tung expressed his opinion: going for 5 days to both study and travel without much preparation is unscientific and tiring, not to mention the time to pack and return.

"What I fear most is carrying a lot of stuff, unless I go on a business trip and have to tuck things in (put them in a box), which is quite cumbersome. I only have a trolley bag with wheels, but it can hold a lot of stuff, is convenient, and can be carried on the plane without a suitcase," Quang shared.

Reader Tran Nam is very concise when he thinks that traveling doesn't require any preparation. "Money is enough, as long as the hotel doesn't kick you out."

Mr. Tu Sai Gon said that information is abundant on the internet, and for weather, you can check the forecast page for the whole week in advance. "If you know how to exploit information, you won't be surprised or worried, just enjoy the trip."

Reader Mr. Thanh commented that nowadays, the amenities are almost the same in many places. As a backpacker, he only carries a light backpack for a week or ten days. "The total round trip is 2,000km, simple and light. Many people go backpacking but their luggage makes them look like they are moving from a rented room to a new place."

Reader phone number 091… shared that if you travel with too little stuff, you shouldn't. "Many places don't have supermarkets or stores, and are far from residential areas, so it's difficult to buy things. I think it's okay to bring just enough, not too heavy or too much luggage. Don't be too little and then regret not having anything to use."

Mr. Thanh Tung concluded that bringing more or less things when traveling depends on the person, it will create diversity in life:

- The first time I went I didn't prepare anything so I was missing a lot of things.

- The second time I brought a lot, used it little and was very tired.

- The third time bring just enough, see people carrying a lot of things and laugh at them.

- The fourth time, I brought more things. I saw that some people brought less than me, but some also brought their whole bedroom... Only then did I truly smile, that is a lovely life!

Readers from Da Nang share their experience of needing to determine whether you are going for leisure or business and bring the appropriate items. If both are the same, you can pack a lot but try to keep it to a suitcase. When traveling, don’t think it has to be as complete as at home and then make yourself miserable.

He shared that it only took 30 minutes to arrange:

- If I leave tomorrow morning for 5 days, I will prepare that night. Besides the clothes I wear and shoes, I bring 3 shorts and one pair of pants in case I have to go to a formal place.

- A face towel, slippers, shaving kit, toothbrush and toothpaste (I don't use these two from the hotel).

- Documents: ID, credit card, insurance, pocket money, phone charger, spare battery.
