The 5 Essentials You Absolutely Must Bring When Traveling – Did You Get All the Tactics Right?
As people's travel has become more convenient with more and more transportation options, many people take advantage of holidays and weekends to travel and relax. However, before traveling, packing luggage is definitely a headache. What should I bring? What shouldn't I bring? How much should I bring? It really makes people's brains hurt. At first, it took me several days to sort out what to bring, but after traveling many times, I've also summarized some experiences. Today, I'd like to share with you five things that you should not bring or bring less, because bringing too much will definitely affect your overall travel experience.
1Large Suitcase
It's the first instinct for many people to take a very large suitcase when going out, because they want to pack as much as possible. They want to pack everything from their whole house. But it's troublesome once you've packed too much. If you're traveling by plane, flights have weight limits, and if your suitcase is too heavy, you'll have to pay extra fees, which is very troublesome.
Especially in cities like Europe, after arriving by plane, you often have to walk around unfamiliar places. Dragging a large suitcase around like that is really frustrating, and you have to look at maps and find your hotel while carrying your luggage. It's really exhausting. Also, European travel usually involves connecting flights, which are relatively inexpensive, but they don't include free baggage allowances. So, if you're dragging a large suitcase to travel across Europe, the extra baggage fees will be a significant amount of money.
2Excessive Clothing
Many fashion-conscious tourists are most concerned about what to wear when they go on vacation. They are obsessed with whether this outfit is beautiful or not, and they want to bring all kinds of clothes, and they keep arguing about it. They just pack everything up. But when they go out, they find that many clothes are never even worn, and they're brought back. This not only occupies the space in the suitcase, but also makes them drag it back and forth, which is very tiring. Therefore, when I travel, I bring some versatile clothes that are sufficient for wearing, of course, if you just want to bring clothes to take pictures, that's another matter.
3Excessive Cosmetics
Some beautiful tourists are obsessed with taking care of their skin at home, and they follow a skincare routine that lasts for two or three hours a day. When they go out, they think they can also take care of their skin every day and look beautiful, so they bring all the bottles and cans in their home, and a cosmetic bag takes up almost half the suitcase. But when they go out, they find that they really don't need so many, and after traveling and returning, they are exhausted and want to lie down and sleep. How can they spend hours on skincare routines?
Personal recommendation is that travel sets and small bottles are a good choice. Also, when traveling by plane, remember to check it in, otherwise, it may be detained at security checks due to various reasons, which will undoubtedly dampen your travel mood. (In some European airports, the cosmetics you can carry on your person cannot exceed a plastic bag, and any excess will be discarded.)
4Single-Lens Camera (except for photographers)
As a photographer, I can deeply understand this. When traveling, carrying a large number of items, other items are not much, but photography equipment takes up half a suitcase. Moreover, photography equipment is not only large and heavy, but also exhausting. Every time you go on a trip, you have to carry dozens of kilograms of equipment around, and you haven't even enjoyed the trip before you're exhausted. It has no desire to play anymore,
In fact, many smartphones have excellent photo functions now, and bringing a smartphone is sufficient to meet the photographic needs. It's also very lightweight.
