Should I bring tripod for travel?

If you like a lot of people shots, then don't bother with a tripod as you'll be moving around a lot. But if landscapes interest you, a tripod will be of great use in bringing back sharper images (but it is by no means required). If flowers and wildlife are your thing, I'd also suggest bringing a tripod.
