When did you start to have the heart to "wander around the world"?

In the past few days, I have been sorting out the photos on my phone and the places I have been to before. In my memory, I feel like I haven’t been to many places, and it seems like I haven’t been out for a long time.

After sorting it out, I discovered that I have actually been to many places compared to the people around me. It can be said that since college, I have gone to this place almost every year. These places may be big or small, but they all hold great memories.

I can’t help but sigh, photos are really a good thing. If these images were not left behind, many memories may have slowly faded away.

So, when did you start to have a "wandering" heart?

After looking through the photo album, I thought: It must have been in college that I planted the seed of "wandering around the world".

The first trip in college was on May Day in 2013. It was my first time traveling alone, and my destination was Yunnan. As for why it was this place, one was because my cousin was in Dali, Yunnan at the time and wanted to find him, but was ruthlessly rejected; the other reason was that I didn’t know where (I can’t remember) I won a Yunnan tourist ticket. , that being the case, let’s go.

Looking back now, I was so innocent at that time. I never thought about whether it was a scam. I just bought the ticket and took the train for nearly 20 hours to Kunming. (It’s also possible that I was really depressed and depressed at the time, so I just wanted to find a place to relax, so I didn’t think about it carefully.)

After arriving in Kunming, I called the travel agency and they sent someone to pick me up. , and explained to me that this was a group tour for individual travelers, which was a bit troublesome, and suggested to me that they had another group with almost the same highlights of the itinerary, and an air-conditioned bus throughout the journey. I briefly read the contract and it seemed good, so I agreed to change.

However, it turns out that I was deceived. The travel agency played word games with you, but you were powerless. After all, I signed the contract myself. Therefore, this journey did not leave a very good impression on me, but it also opened up some of my thinking.

Before this trip, I had never thought that the girls in my life would smoke. When they took out cigarettes from their pockets and skillfully asked me if I smoked, I was stunned. In Lijiang Old Town, for the first time, I experienced the bustle and feasting in bars at night.

I never expected that the young lady who shared a room with me later also smoked. But what does smoking mean? When the hotel didn't have a hair dryer, she shared her own hair dryer with me without hesitation and took good care of me along the way.

Later, the day before I was about to return, I realized that I might not have enough money, and I didn’t dare to ask my family for it. Because I felt that I had to force myself out, and my father had already given me some money to pay for it.

So, I sat on a bench on the streets of Lijiang, feeling sad to myself.

But I was still thinking silently. It would be no problem to go back to Changsha from here, because the air tickets were booked in advance. After arriving in Changsha, I still need to take the airport bus and buy a ticket home from Changsha. How to solve this part?

At this moment, a young brother in the group seemed to have discovered something, so he came to ask me what was wrong. I was still embarrassed to speak, but later he said, why not add me on WeChat first, and let me know if you need any help.

I returned to the hotel in the evening, thought about it, and finally couldn't help but send a tentative message explaining the situation. Unexpectedly, he readily agreed and said he would give me the money in the morning before I set off. (He planned to charter a car with his classmates for a free trip the next day, and I was returning.)

When I got up the next day, I kept waiting. I felt embarrassed at first, so I didn’t dare to send a message to ask. Afraid of being thought a liar. Finally, the train was about to leave and I hadn’t seen him yet. I thought to myself: Forget it, I’ll figure it out when I get to Changsha.

Just when I was about to get in the car in despair, he ran over and said: Why didn't you call me? Almost missed it. I quickly said thank you, then got in the car and left.

After I returned to school safely, I said I would pay him back the money as soon as possible. He said it was okay and it would not be too late when you have a little more money.

I never thought that kindness from strangers could be so heart-warming.

Thanks to the hundreds of dollars he lent me, I returned home smoothly. For some reason, I didn't mention this to my parents, because I always thought I would be scolded. Now, I can no longer contact that little brother, but I believe that he must be doing well.

In fact, whether a trip is a good experience depends on many factors. Good or bad, the biggest uncertainty in traveling is that you never know what will happen on the road.

Everything may not happen as you expect, which is why travel is so attractive.

In addition to the beautiful scenery and delicious food waiting for you, there are also more interesting people and things waiting for you to experience. And every experience is your unique experience and treasure.

Don’t doubt that everything and everyone that appears in your life must be for you to understand and learn something. And every result is actually your own choice.

When will it stop on the road?

I think, never.

Because there are endless scenery in this world, and I will have an eternally young heart.
