2 . Traveling can be a good way to get life experiences.     1     Don’t worry. Here are some useful suggestions.

Plan ahead

This is probably the most important preparation for traveling. Don’t wait until the last minute to plan your trip, or you will have to spend more on tickets.     2     Make a plan and you can save much in this way.

Find useful information

    3    

Also the Internet can help you save money. You can find some useful websites like www. Travelcity. com and www. Economy travel. com.

Travel in groups

Find someone who is interested in visiting the same places. By traveling with others you can share costs and experiences.

    4    

Well-known places may be expensive and too crowded. You may want to think over your trip and go to a less-known place. Smaller towns still have many interesting activities and sights. You can learn about lots of local customs, too.

Pack necessary things

The most important things to take are not always clothes.     5     Snacks are also necessary because they can save you much money when you can not find a cheap restaurant.

By planning carefully, you can not only enjoy traveling but also save lots of money. You will remember your travel experiences all your life.

Karakul Lake, which literally means “Black Lake” in the local language, is anything but black. I’ve     1     (personal) witnessed the water changing colors from light purple     2     a glowing blue and it really is spectacular. The lake’s location along the Karakoram Highway near Kashgar makes     3     a wonderfully secluded place     4     very few tourists tend to travel. At the foot of the Muztag Mountain     5     (lie) a small village whose buildings are still made of mud and brick, a great place to buy a hand-made wool carpe t from     6     (local). As always, be prepared to spend the night in a     7     (comfort) yurt (蒙古包). The area     8     (surround) the small Karakul lake isn’t quite as green as the other three lakes, but there is still plenty to do. While every lake offers some sort of horse or camel riding experience, Karakul is one of the few spots where you can completely circumnavigate (环航) the lake in     9     (little) than a few hours on horseback.

It’s also possible     10     (hire) a guide to help you climb the neighboring mountain, but their safety record is 3 deaths in 2008 out of only 300 climbers according to one local.

5 . The best places for wild sleeping in England and Wales

The Wildman Woods, Carmarthenshire

Best for: life on the riverbanks

At this little-known site, you can put your tent on the banks of the River Sawdde. The Wildman Woods are as simple as they sound, with leafy pitches scattered among the trees near the water. During the day, it’s the perfect place for a paddle. Tents from £10 per person.

Penrhos Isaf Bothy, Gwyned

Bothies, simple huts traditionally used as mountain refuges that are open to all and free of charge. They’re a great alternative to wild camping if the weather is looking unstable and you don’t mind sharing with other travellers, who can arrive at any time.
