Things you should not bring when traveling
Familiar and useful “friends” such as food, high heels… will sometimes become obstacles on the journey to explore new lands.
Skip the following travel companions to enjoy a complete trip.
High heels and fashion items
A large suitcase with all the items such as shoes, clothes, beach dresses, nightgowns, street dresses… is only suitable for girls who go to fashion shows or take photos for newspapers. Even when traveling with your lover, you should still limit your clothes. Changing too many dresses and shoes can make him frustrated because he has to wait.
Take some free time to enjoy the beauty of your destination. You only have 2-5 days to relax, wander around and explore, so don’t spend too much time on coordinating your outfits for the trip. Instead, you should prepare these things in advance to ensure you always have beautiful, suitable clothes for the trip.

In addition, comfortable and convenient outfits such as jeans, shorts, T-shirts or dresses and low-heeled, comfortable shoes are also optimal choices. A colorful scarf can be a versatile item when it can be flexibly used as a stylized scarf, a thin jacket in the chilly afternoon, a headscarf to protect against the sun or a charming sarong over a swimsuit when going to the beach.
Pets and personal belongings
You can absolutely bring your pet dog when traveling if you can afford to book a separate ticket for your pet, as well as have time to prepare food, drinks and even take care of their hygiene during the trip. If you visit destinations with many exploration experiences such as scuba diving, playing thrilling games... what you should do is find a place to "send love". Otherwise, say goodbye to your pet to have days of real rest and relaxation.

In addition, you should boldly say goodbye to some unnecessary personal items. Most hotels in and outside the country already have enough toothbrushes, toothpaste, combs, hair dryers, needles and thread, slippers, etc. If you are still wondering about the mountain of things to pack, contact the hotel where you are going so you don’t have to regret “bringing it here and then bringing it back”.
Food
Sticky rice, chicken, rice balls, instant noodles, fruits and drinks of all kinds will turn your trip into a “culinary tour”. Instead of carrying all your bags, save your energy and hold hands with your family and friends to enjoy the beautiful scenery, comfortably take photos and record memorable moments.
Not bringing too much food will also help you not have to worry about preserving food or finding ways to store food, releasing energy.
You also don't need to sneak food into the hotel, hastily eat in public and then find a trash can to throw things away. Instead, you can elegantly check in to your room, leisurely have fun and relax.
The days of “ascetic” travel where you bring a lot and eat a lot are over. Every tourist destination has many restaurants and eateries for you to choose from, and most importantly, each locality has its own specialties. Instead of rushing to prepare, let yourself freely explore the unique culture of each land.
