1 . When you’re sitting in class or behind your desk waiting for the clock to strike a time when you can go home, it is natural that the mind can wander (漫游) a bit. It is common for your mind to wander to a vacation and even travel the world. What if there is a way that you can travel the world without having to pay any money?
A person that managed to make it around the world without spending much was Shantanu Starick. How did he trade off his service? Starick realized that as a photographer he had a service that people would usually be willing to pay money for, but he would instead offer his photography service to anyone who could provide him with food, shelter and transportation. Starick has been traveling for a surprising 30 months and has visited countries ranging from the United States to Ecuador.
In English-speaking countries, trading off service and communicating aren’t difficult for Starick. However, in more far areas where there isn’t an English-speaking person in sight it can be quite difficult. More than anything locals appreciate (欣赏) the effort behind trying to speak their language, even if you don’t exactly sound like a native speaker.
You can do it too!
Honestly, with a bit of confidence, drive and a skill you can trade, you’ll be able to do exactly the same as Starick.
Start thinking about what you can do to get around the world without paying money. With our social networks and the connectivity our world has, you can easily connect with and market yourself to people across the world without any effort.

6 . There’s a lot to see in Badlands National Park (BADL).
Castle Trail: A Badlands National Park Favorite.
We’re kicking things off with the longest trail in the park — and it is an excellent one. This 5-mile journey takes you through the backcountry of Badlands, with the main destination being the incredible Castle Rock formation. Along the way, you’ll hike through grassland. And as always in the Badlands, watch out for snakes.
See Bison in Sage Creek Wilderness Area
Are you as crazy about wildlife? Sage Creck is for you. Located in Wall, SD, this is one of the largest areas of preserved mixed-grass prairie (草原) left in the United States. And it’s one of the best places for North American bison (野牛). But remember to always stay in your vehicle, and never get out to approach a bison. This is not only illegal (非法的), but can cost you your life.
Ascend the Amazing Saddle Pass Trail
Saddle Pass is a short trail, but one you won’t want to miss. One of the most photographed spots in Badlands National Park is also one of the coolest climbing experiences, hands down. Here, you’ll climb up the Badlands Wall itself into a view of the White River Valley. The trail gets its name from the shape of the prairie you’ll travel.
Badlands National Park’s Top Hike: Notch Trail
As the most popular hike in the Badlands, Notch Trail features a fantastic ladder climb and absolutely breath-taking views. This trail is worth the difficulty, but it is not recommended for anyone with a fear of heights, and can be dangerous during or after heavy rains. The most Badlands injuries take place here, so be sure to practice safely.
