Ever found yourself daydreaming about exotic destinations while scrolling through Netflix, tempted to click that alluring “I’m Traveling” button? You’re not alone! Many Hanoi residents, perhaps even some enjoying a traditional “Bún chả” lunch in Hoan Kiem District, have pondered this same question. What secrets lie beyond that button? Will Netflix magically transform into a portal to international film festivals, or is it something far less mystical?
Unmasking the Mystery: What “I’m Traveling” Really Does
Despite what your adventurous spirit might hope for, clicking “I’m Traveling” on Netflix doesn’t unlock a secret stash of international films. Let’s break down why:
Netflix and Geo-restrictions: A Complex Relationship
Netflix uses geo-restrictions, a practice common in the world of online streaming. Imagine it like this: Netflix offers a delicious buffet of movies and shows, but each country gets a slightly different selection based on licensing agreements.
Why “I’m Traveling” Exists (and Why It Won’t Help You)
The “I’m Traveling” button on Netflix isn’t about accessing content from other countries. Instead, it’s designed to help you troubleshoot streaming issues while you’re traveling. Clicking it signals Netflix that you might be experiencing playback problems due to your location change. Think of it as a digital SOS flare for your movie night.

The Netflix Experience: Rooted in Your Location
“Where you are determines what you watch” could be Netflix’s unofficial motto. Even if you tell Netflix you’re “traveling,” it still relies on your device’s IP address to pinpoint your location.
A Vietnamese Perspective: Is It Bad Luck to Trick Netflix?
In Vietnamese culture, there’s a strong belief in “Duyên,” a concept of predestined connections and fate. While clicking “I’m Traveling” on Netflix might seem like a harmless way to outsmart the system, some might see it as tempting fate. After all, if you’re meant to enjoy a particular movie or show, wouldn’t it naturally come your way?
