1 . Before this COVID-19 pandemic, family vacations were simple. They consisted of a trip to Disneyworld, a week at a resort, or perhaps a booking on a cruise line that every family member was excited about, The only thing many had to worry about was forgetting the passports or a child forgetting the toothbrush or losing the favorite toy somewhere between the airport and the hotel. Now, the days of vacations look completely different and for those who have taken one during the pandemic, many things have changed.
Many families have routine (例行的) vacations that they take every year and this year. But due to the pandemic, many vacations didn’t happen as planned, So, vacations were put on the back burner and weren’t taken until much later in the year and for many people, change in their work lives allowed this. With more parents working from home and more kids taking part in homeschooling at home, families found going on vacation became much easier without the physical need to be somewhere else. This was also the year that many people remembered that they’re surrounded by nature. Rather than booking the typical vacation to the most-visited destinations or popular theme parks, many people-families especially-chose the lesser-crowded destinations. This meant that more families chose vacation activities such as camping, preferring to connect with nature rather than walk the busy streets. This also meant that vacation rentals (租用的房屋或汽车、设备等) were up in popularity and even in popular destinations, such as beach towns, The possibility of small crowds didn’t stop some families due to the fact that they rented the whole place.
It now looks like these changes might be here to stay, at least for some time longer, before the world returns to a state of normality.

2 . Everyone loves travelling, right? Unfortunately, money can sometimes be a problem. Here are some tips for gaining better travel experience, regardless of your bank savings!
Tip 1: Decide where you’ll go based on your budget.
The cost of your trip can depend greatly on where you want to go.
Tip 2:
Yes, everyone loves the luxury of a five star hotel. But sadly, in a lot of places, this is just not realistic for those on a budget. That’s why whenever I travel to countries which are expensive, I choose to stay in hostels or campsites. Hostels are a sure way to meet potential travelling companions while also saving money.
Tip 3: Don’t always rely on restaurants.
Another advantage of staying in hostels(招待所)is that you will always have access to a kitchen. Eating in a restaurant can be very expensive,
So you see, if you come prepared, you can easily travel the world,
A.Choose hostels and campsites |
B.no matter what your budget is |
C.so you can easily save by cooking your own meals |
D.So, knowing the average costs in a country can help you plan your trip |
E.Camping is also a great choice for budget accommodation, especially if you enjoy the outdoors |
