6 . Tips for Traveling on a Low Budget

These days, a lot of people travel as a result of rising wealth.On social media,friends ,families, and complete strangers are sharing beautiful images of the places they’ve been Traveling can be a lot of fun, but it does take money to get on a plane and see the world.     1     Here are four expert tips.

Plan ahead. Planning is possibly the most important aspect of any trip. If you want to keep your costs down, you must make a plan. That will allow you to spend the least amount of money to meet your demands when traveling.    2    

    3    When you purchase tickets at least six months in advance, certain airlines offer discounted pricing on their flights. Discounts let you spend less money than you initially planned to, and preparing ahead will help you find the greatest discounts.

Prepare alternative destinations.    4     When visiting Thailand for instance, you can decide to visit Chiang Mai rather than Phuket or Bangkok.This is due to Chiang Mai’s affordability, cooler climate, and distinctive attractions.

Remember travel insurance. Consider travel insurance as an investment rather than an extra cost.     5    . Being insured allows you to avoid paying for lost or stolen luggage or medical expenses.

7 . Creating Unique Artworks on the Street

In most cities you go to, you will see walls outside covered with paintings of names and pictures. This is called graffiti (涂鸦).

    1    People who like them see this graffiti as art, but others believe it makes cities look horrible and that the people who do it should be arrested.

These days in the UK, there are still lots of places where you can paint graffiti because most people like graffiti that has a lot of beautiful colors.

When did graffiti begin?

There are examples of very old graffiti from Greek and Roman cultures.    2    It came from parts of the city and the people who wrote it were often teenagers. Graffiti is still part of the city culture in many places in the world today.

Banksy

Banksy is Britain’s most famous graffiti artist. Banksy’s art is ad mired around the world. His paintings usually have a political message. Banksy has become very famous, but nobody knows who he really is. Banksy’s art is so popular that people sometimes try to steal it so they can sell it.    3    

Graffiti tours

In some cities, tourists can take graffiti tours.    4    There is a lot of beautiful graffiti in Bogota and much of it shows the history of the country or has a political message. You can also see parts of the city tourists do not usually go to. The tour is very popular and it is also free.    5    This money will be used to help poor Colombian artists.

8 . If you’re traveling to South America in summer, you should have Patagonia (at the southern end of South America) high up on your list of things to do. With this list, I show you the best places to visit in Patagonia. The climate down there is pretty rough, especially in the very south - if you plan to do hiking or camping, the best time for a trip is between the end of November and the beginning of March.

1. Bariloche, Argentina

The fact that Bariloche is well connected (airport, direct bus to and from Buenos Aires) makes it the perfect starting point of a round trip through Patagonia. But more than that: the combination of mountains, lakes and green forests results in its beautiful scenery.

2. Futaleufú, Chile

Further down south and a bit harder to access is the small Chilean village Futaleufú which is located at the border to Argentina. The reason which makes it worth it: the Futaleufú River is often referred to as one of the best white water spots for rafting in the world. The landscape along the river is unique and, due to its location, still pretty much untouched.

3. Puerto Rio Tranquilo, Chile

If you want to get there quickly, you should travel through Argentina and cross over to Chile Chico as this place is also very remote. The reason to do so: the marble caves in the General Carrera lake.

4. Torres del Paine, Chile

Personally the national park Torres del Paine is my number 1 attraction in Patagonia - you should take some time and do a multi-day trek to experience as much of it as possible: glaciers, forests, impressive mountain ranges, lagoons and rivers.

10 . Do you like traveling? Many people choose backpacking (背着背包徒步旅行) because it not only helps save a lot of money, but also gives them another kind of experience. When you are planning a backpacking adventure, the first thing to do in your opinion may be the decision on the places where you will visit. However, it is not the most important thing. Great adventures will make you face great danger. So you should not only imagine the enjoyment you will have on the trip, but also think about the possible danger you might face.

Making travel insurance (保险) is the most staple. It can make sure that you stay safe on the trip. So you should buy a backpacker travel insurance policy (保险单) before you leave. Backpacker policies are specially designed to meet your needs, by offering a high level of cover for a long time of travel. You can buy a backpacker policy from one week to two years or longer time. The backpacker insurance policy covers many activities such as swim and ski, and provides protection for these activities. So buying a backpacker travel insurance policy is very important.

It is a good idea to compare a few insurance companies before you make a decision. You should always carefully check the backpacker policy and make sure the activities you want to do are all covered by the policy.
