1. You indicated in the survey that you take vacations domestically. Tell me about some of the places you like to travel to and why you like going there.

- When I travel domestically, there are a few places that I really enjoy visiting. - First, Da Nang is always at the top of my list. I love this city because it’s clean, modern, and has some of the most beautiful beaches in Vietnam. The air feels fresh, the food is amazing - especially seafood - and the people are friendly.
- Another place I really like is Da Lat. I enjoy the cool weather, the mountains, and all the green scenery. It’s peaceful and perfect for taking slow walks, drinking coffee. The atmosphere there helps me clear my mind.
- Sometimes, I also visit Ho Chi Minh City. Even though it’s crowded, I love the energy of the city. There are things to do: shopping, new food, visiting cafés, and exploring different neighborhoods. It’s exciting and never feels boring.
- Overall, I love traveling inside my country because each place has its own culture, food, and personality. Every trip gives me a different experience.

2. Can you tell me about the things you do in order to prepare for trips?

- Whenever I prepare for a trip, I follow a few steps to make sure everything goes smoothly.
- First, I plan the whole trip. I decide where I want to go, what places I want to visit, and how long I will stay. Sometimes I create a simple list so I don’t forget anything important.
- Second, I book transportation and a place to stay early. I usually check flights, buses, and hotels online. Booking early helps me save money and avoid the stress of last-minute planning.
- Third, I pack my suitcase carefully. I prepare clothes based on the weather, bring essential items like toiletries, chargers, and sometimes snacks. I also like to pack light so I can move around easily.
- Fourth, I check documents, money, my ID card, tickets, and wallet. I also prepare some cash because some places don’t accept card payments.
- Lastly, I inform my family about my plans. This makes them feel safe, and I feel more confident knowing everything is prepared.

3. Traveling can lead to many kinds of interesting, funny and unexpected experiences. Tell me about one travel experience you had that was unforgettable. Start by telling me when this happened, where you were, and who you were with. And then, tell me about all the things that happened that made this experience so memorable.

- This happened two years ago when I visited Da Lat with my friends. We planned to spend three days there.
- On the first day, something unforgettable happened. We decided to visit a waterfall. When we arrived, it suddenly started raining heavily. We had no raincoats, so we got completely wet.
- But instead of being upset, we started laughing and enjoyed the moment. We even took funny photos under the rain. After the rain stopped, a rainbow appeared above the waterfall. It was beautiful and felt like a wonderful moment.
- Later, we found a small café nearby where we warmed up with hot chocolate. We talked for hours and joked about how crazy the day was.
- This trip was memorable because the unexpected rain made the experience special. It brought us closer and created a story we still laugh about today.
