I don’t know whether you guys have the same feeling as I do. Since the pandemic broke in 2020, I just feel like I had been stolen for two years by COVID-19! After finally returning to previous daily life (not completely, at least we still need face masks), countless people are planning a long-lost journey animatedly. I think a road trip is the safest way to travel at present (especially when using your car): avoiding crowded spaces and socializing, reducing the risk of infection with the virus. So, if you are going to plan a road trip, you’ll need a large travel duffel bag to keep your gear organized.
When it comes to carry-on bags for travel, most people may think: a suitcase is everything. Yep, that sounds sensible. But, choosing a grab-to-go bag or a suitcase not just depends on your preference, but the way you travel and your final destination. You’ll never want to drag your wheeled suitcase around on rugged terrain.
Advantages of Travel Duffel Bags
1. Lightweight: This is the most obvious superiority of a duffel bag. Despite different materials, any given duffel bag is going to be lighter than a carry-on case.
2. Compact but Large Capacity: Smaller than a suitcase but bigger than a Dopp kit, a travel duffel bag is an ideal bag that is roomy enough to store your worth of clothing and personal supplies without weighing you down.
3. Easy to Access: Because of the sheer simplicity of the design, duffels are a lot easier to access and open, saving us time from fishing for the tiny item you want in chaotic luggage.

Tips for Road Trip Beginners
1. Arrange Everything before Departure: Although travel by driving yourself is more flexible and free, it requires you to arrange all the things on the journey (routes, restaurants, hotels, etc.). You’d better book accommodations ahead.
2. Do Research and Check about your destination’s safety precautions: While it’s always important to be cautious of your health and safety while traveling, our current times call for a little extra precaution. If you are going to stay at a hotel or eat at a restaurant, call the venue ahead of time and ask what they are doing to ensure the health and safety of customers—and their staff.
3. Check Your Vehicle: Before you head off, it’s important to check your vehicle carefully. Take your car in for a service appointment to check that the oil, fluids, tires, and air filters are in top shape. You’ll also want to check all the lights and blinkers. Make sure your car won’t break down halfway and ruin your trip.
4. Packing: In addition to daily supplies (toothbrush, comb, clothes, etc.), you also need to prepare anti-epidemic items such as masks and hand sanitizer. Also, having snacks on hand will help cut down on costs and time spent on stops. So put some healthy snacks like veggies, fruits, and hummus in your bag.
