01 Don’t be too compact to arrange the itinerary
During the process of traveling, if the itinerary is arranged too tightly – that is, the kind of person who wants to see as many unique scenery, taste as many specialty foods, and visit some famous scenic spots as possible in limited time. It’s easy to play for the sake of playing, but it’s very difficult to have a good experience in the current project!
At the very least! If we plan to visit several places in a day, it is very likely that when we visit the first place, we will occasionally check the tickets, guides, and itinerary information for the next place! Affects the project being played. The experience is quite poor, trust me!
But the most important thing I want to say is that if the schedule is too full or too tight, it is easy to have emotional problems in case of unexpected situations (such as inconvenient transportation, frequent urination and defecation, lack of physical strength, etc.) – complaining about the decision maker, shaking the face of the strategy maker, and the most despicable thing is that some people may make these behaviors without realizing it!
Whether it’s solo or group travel, when this emotional problem arises, it can affect the entire travel experience. Because no one wants to act as someone else’s emotional trash can when they go out to play.
02 Single or multiple people are worth trying
Many online posts should never actually exist – they often have diode thinking and take people to extremes! Causing us to lose some great experiences! If you are struggling with whether to go on your upcoming trip alone or with friends! So let me share some practical feelings!
Firstly, the benefits of traveling alone and with multiple people are often not something that can be achieved simultaneously! The freedom and elegance of solo travel are often things that multiple travelers cannot have! The excitement of traveling with multiple people and the sense of security that comes with discussing issues are not present in solo travel! Secondly, a very important point! It is important to note that there are always many more opportunities for solo travel than for some friends to travel together!
In other words, if you are in graduation season or other special life milestones, go on a trip with friends! Really, the experience of multiple people and the enjoyment of single person are just a matter of time, not contradictory choices. Finally, when choosing to travel with multiple people, it is important not to casually gather together seemingly lively and fun candidates! Because there will be many problems and conflicts encountered during the process of traveling, if you go to play with people you don’t have deep contact with or know very well, it is very likely to be irresponsible to yourself.
For example, travel companions should never go out with people whose personalities are too similar to their own. If both of them are very thoughtful or both of them are super thoughtless! Imagine what kind of scene it would be! The most ideal combination is – “Let’s go to XX to play today; my route plan is like this; we can play these.” “Okay, okay! I think it’s okay.” Who you want to play with, not everything needs to refer to the opinions of others (online people, including myself)! Many people share their bad experiences while traveling with others online! I want to say at this moment: Don’t let those who haven’t experienced your ‘stupidity’ pay the price for it! Those who play in groups with others casually, let’s just suffer their own losses!
If it’s not a casual group, but with friends you’ve been with for a long time, then you need to ask yourself! Have you grown your heart? Do you have any intention? After spending so much time together, I still don’t understand the other person’s personality, temperament, and temperament. Is it the other person’s problem or my own problem! I don’t deny that some people’s way of getting along outside is really different from what they usually do! But in the adult world, the ability that always needs to be improved is definitely ‘screening’! Information is, and so is the crowd! Don’t exaggerate a lot of established bad things on the Internet at will – because someone will really watch them! And really someone will believe it!! A more shareable behavior is actually: after calming down, focusing on recording the real process, summarizing some experiences that have guiding significance for future life (relatively objective and more universal), and putting an end to these unpleasant experiences for oneself!
03 Don’t play for too long
Traveling is actually a wonderful experience! During the days when I bought my plane ticket in advance, I always hoped that the day of departure would come soon! It’s really that day, I need to pack my luggage, and I hope it can come a little slower! Looking forward to the excitement of flying in the waiting hall, and really wanting to land at the destination as soon as possible after getting on the plane! After landing, I really want to find a peaceful place to rest! After resting well… I still haven’t figured out whether the pleasure of traveling is immersed in the process of wandering or in the anticipation of the next thing! On the contrary, many places that were originally full of expectations, when they arrived, were just like that! A large amount of commercialization and foot traffic greatly affect the experience!
Don’t play for too long, there are many benefits!
Firstly, the most obvious benefit of not playing for too long is that the “marginal diminishing effect” on a city’s favorability will be controlled – it will maximize the maintenance of our favorability and awe towards a city! In other words, playing too much or too thoroughly will lose the attraction and charm of a city to us. Playing more freely and comfortably can maintain a good mood and state of mind, while leaving some room for the next visit to this city. Secondly, playing for too long often actually wastes time! The waste of time while traveling abroad requires financial support – milk tea shops, cafes, and large shopping malls – which can easily generate additional consumption! This kind of wasted time mainly arises from “waiting time” or “blank time”! That is to say, after visiting a certain scenic spot, the next destination is unknown, but there is still a lot of time left on this day, so the remaining time becomes a “burden”. I don’t know how to digest it, so I can only digest the money first hahaha!
04 Bring more disposable items
Personal hygiene is still very important when going out for fun! For me, playing hysterically outside for a day, taking a comfortable bath, shaving, and changing into clothes that have a faint smell of laundry detergent and fit well but may not look good, is the best time of my day for mental state. But with it comes a very disappointing thing – cleaning the clothes, socks, and so on that have been changed. So, when traveling, if conditions permit, you can bring some disposable items by yourself. This thing is really useful, and on the basis of reducing some usage experience, it brings us great satisfaction in terms of travel experience and portability! For example, disposable socks, disposable underwear, etc., but it is important to choose legitimate products to ensure hygiene and safety.
05 Take more real photos
Flaws=True! The biggest benefit that reality gives us is the ability to maximize the restoration of the state at that moment! People’s Daily has a memorable saying about photos: ‘Take photos and record them to your heart’s content! Because 10 years later, no matter how excellent photography techniques and editing methods are, they cannot turn maturity into immaturity!’! Specifically, I can’t remember exactly, but that’s the general idea! So sometimes, I envy some people who have grown up with parents who can record their own moments of growth, take photos of themselves, write diaries with themselves as the protagonist, and take vlogs of themselves leaving the country… because when we grow up and look back at the past, ‘immature faces and clear eyes are difficult to replicate’! But then again, even though I am an ordinary looking man, I often pay attention to details such as managing my facial expressions in photos! Everyone wants to record and share their best state while playing outside with everyone! But my suggestion is to ‘back up’ any flawed photos taken before starting retouching, because you should know that not everyone loves to look at other people’s beautiful photos (at least I myself do)! Especially when everyone deliberately maintains a “beautiful” circle of friends, having some genuine and ordinary sharing can often be more distinctive!
Finally, when it comes to tourism projects, it’s actually quite a headache! Many scenic spots, even if you ask me to go and see them, I may not feel their heritage – such as some art galleries, memorial halls, museums, and so on! There are still some attractions! So, based on my understanding of my parents, I would like to propose a reference plan: if my parents are more cultured, such as those with higher diplomas and sufficient knowledge reserves, then I believe they can also accept many of the “scenic spots” we want to visit when traveling; But if parents belong to the working class, then I think we can shift our focus more towards eating, eating local cuisine and local specialties! If you’re playing, don’t focus on scenic spots! Mainly focus on experiential things – such as having Huashan Mountain and cable cars to ride in Xi’an, which I don’t have in Nanchang, at least I haven’t seen before!
