【推荐3】As a student, if you intend to gain more life experience during the Spring-Break, traveling is a nice idea. But if you don’t have enough money for a trip, the following suggestions will help.
Saving money in your daily life is probably the most important preparation for travelling. Cut expenses to fatten your wallet so you will have more choices about where to go and how to get there.
Plan your trip early and write it down. Keep the written plan at hand and stick to it during the tour, or you may not have enough money to cover everything.
Buy tickets and make other preparations early as it can mean greater security and savings. Don’t forget to pack such necessary things as necessary clothing, some common medicines and even some snacks (零食), as those things in the traveling places may be much more expensive than usual.
Do some research in advance. Travel books and some websites will help you to choose where to go. Those hot places are both expensive and crowded, so I advise you to go to less-known ones, such as small towns with interesting customs and unique sights.
Travel with several reliable students with interest in the same places, and you can share costs and experiences with each other. And you can work in the traveling places together to earn money to support your trip and be safer as well.
