Today, a walk-and-go trip is no longer noticeable, and traveling around the world is commonplace.
However, when travel becomes a "trend", it is also slowly becoming a way to show off socially.
Travel is no longer an experience of finding distant cultures and histories, stories and beauty, but a means of showing others that "I am better off than you." The harvest of the trip has also changed from feeling and thinking to various foods and selfies of "brushing up the circle of friends".
Is the only way to travel is to see the scenery, eat and eat food, and the value of travel is just to dry the circle of friends?
How do you make a difference in your trip?
Travel with movies and novels
Follow Audrey Hepburn to Rome for an unforgettable holiday; follow Tom Hanks to Seattle to stay up all night for love; follow Nicole Kidman on horseback and gallop through the endless wilderness of Australia; follow Angel Amelie to the Sacre Coeur and Double Mill Café in Paris, and finally follow Harry Potter to London's King's Cross station to find the nine-quarters platform...
Draw a movie map, or do a role-play. Travel west through the movie scenes, go to Truffaut's tomb to pay homage, visit the Ghibli Museum in Tokyo, enjoy the red lover's chair at mk2, and watch a French film, a German film, or even a Cambodian movie that you can't understand and don't have subtitles! Pack your backpack, shake off your steps, and travel with the movie!
Try exchanging trips
Come and exchange trips, set off now to meet another self.
Feeding sheep on a Welsh farm in England, being a little girl picking roses in a Turkish farmland, volunteering as a hostel on the canary island where Sanmao Jose once settled, working as a waiter in a Buddhist café in England, panicking in an ancient house in the Italian town of Viterbo, listening to old people tell stories of war and peace in Croatia...
Swap travel sounds suspenseful, but the method is very simple: just register on the global exchange travel website, pay attention to providing real information as much as possible to gain the trust of others, and then find the destination you want to reach, "exchange" accommodation with people, and you can live in each other's homes and experience the local customs and customs.
Small stamps, big trips
Although we can't use spells to cross to the destination in the stamp like the little protagonist in "Stamp Travel", we can travel to find the same scenery as on the stamp.
The peculiarity of stamp travel is that it uses stamps as a guide to find scenes that match the stamp picture. Stamp tourism does not cost you physical strength, but patience. You know, even according to Tu Suoji, it is not an easy task. Find the corresponding location is not the end, after stepping on the iron shoes are not good to tour and take a photo how to be willing? The "stamp controllers" also got the local postmark of the stamps at the nearby post office, and a stamp trip was completed.
To eat the most "stars"
Without the Michelin Brothers' failure to do so, the world's veteran foodies would have missed out on many delicacies. In 1900, the Michelin Brothers published a pamphlet called the Michelin Guide, which for more than a century after that had a profound impact on the global restaurant industry, which was only the size of a palm.
The title of "Three Michelin Dining Room" has become the highest honor coveted by many of the world's top restaurants and chefs. So a feast journey with the taste buds began, and foodie masters have since had a new goal - to eat the "most stars".
Study and travel
Maybe you are not good at painting, but you can learn to draw thangkas in Nepal; maybe you don't care about cooking, you can still go to Thailand to learn to cook Thai food; maybe you don't like yoga, you can go crazy in India; maybe you are not good at wine, you can still smell the fragrance in Australia; even if you have no artistic cells, you can learn embroidery and tie-dye in Dali...
Traveling is not just about seeing the scenery on the road, and sometimes it may make more sense to live a different life.
A nostalgic journey back to basics
Spend a few days and live the days of the "old ancestor". Throw away your phone, get away from modern civilization, approach the wilderness, forage, hunt, make a fire, cook in the jungle... At night, I lay in a cave or fell asleep watching the stars under a straw hut I built by myself...
A back-to-basics experience will make you understand that what you have now is not so natural.
Read the story behind the landscape
A country, a city, always has its own unique story. Why is the architecture of the city like this? Why is the personality of the people here so easy to get along with? What is their life like?
Read the city with these questions in mind and you'll find that it's more beautiful than you think. You can also observe, learn about their culture, integrate with them, and share joy with them.
Mingle with the locals
There is no guide that can compare to communicating with the locals. Staying in a local's home, communicating with the locals, understanding their pursuit of life, and their own country's culture will be the best and most powerful travel guide.
Get baptized with local culture
Learn to dance tango in Argentina, participate in the "Holi Festival" in India, join the caravan of gypsies, receive a tomato bath in Spain...
Folk festivals are another way of expressing the locals in addition to language, and if you don't have an experience that is integrated into the local culture, your trip will be deficient.
Try to be with people
Occasional friendships during travel may last as long as a lifetime. During your travels, you are bound to meet a friend who is traveling to the same destination as you, who may be from the same country as you or from another place. If the other person can trust it, try a companion trip. You can talk to each other about history, culture, architecture, food, anything you want to know. At this time, you have a new understanding of another place of travel.
Try more, experience more
Don't travel with prejudice. When it comes to Africa, many people think of poverty and chaos. In practice, however, the incidence of robberies in Africa is unusually low.
At the bus stop, you might see an old woman selling pastries for one-tenth of the Coke you're drinking; you might see teenage teenagers shining their shoes in exchange for a few coins. Remember that the vast majority of Africans are decent, hardworking, and all they want from you is the right to respect and live an honest life. Prejudice and jealousy will only make your holiday a disappointment, so relax!
Learn to share your travels
The best record of travel is to share it for more people to see. You can tell everyone what you know about the city, the country, and share your experience and happiness.
You can also send a postcard to your friends and family from afar, or learn the way the locals will leave the blessings here.
Not everyone has to be a professional traveler, but you can definitely do something to make your trip a little more fun.
