The best way to travel is to make it look like life.

Once I thought I would go to see the most beautiful Cangshan and the sea, go hiking in the barren wasteland and snow, and taste all kinds of delicious food in the world. Then I can know that I have seen the world, and I will not live in vain. "When you come to the world, you should see the mountains and rivers."

Therefore, I am eager for all unknown destinations.

From the first year I left home, I felt like a chicken that finally left home. I finally made a decision. I wanted to go to Xiamen, Shenzhen and Guangzhou, but I didn't want to go home during the summer vacation, so I went to Xitang. The so-called "beyond my reach", in many cases, in order not to let my parents worry or "stop", most of the time they didn't know until I came back from my trip, so I resisted the impulse to send photos during my trip.

You know, when I was eighteen or nineteen, I did everything differently and wanted to tell the world what an interesting thing I had just experienced. Pursuing excitement, strangeness, and everything that seems crazy, even if you are scared stiff by riding a roller coaster, you should send a confident selfie after coming down and pretend to be calm and satisfied.

However, at that time, I was still a poor student (and I am very poor now). It costs money to go to the nearest place. Old people always say that "the poor family is rich", which is actually reasonable. Although my budget for each trip is very low, I will definitely bring enough psychological support figures to provide protection for emergencies.

Based on the principle of reducing all unnecessary expenses and satisfying all curiosity, my criteria for measuring the satisfaction of each trip are:

I don't regret coming here or spending so much time and money.

As for whether I am happy during the trip, this is not the most important thing. Maybe I missed the scheduled bus and the best departure time, so I was depressed and felt that "the last bus will always leave when I get to the station." You may meet Mickey Mouse, who drags you to take a photo at the seaside, exaggerates the concave shape with you, and then asks for money. We will smile at each other awkwardly, hand over 20 cartoon dolls that will always "smile" in Mickey's hood, and then tell ourselves to be reserved in the future!

It's not funny, but impressive.

At that time, I thought, traveling is to take more roads that others have not taken, see more scenery that others have not seen, and satisfy my constant curiosity.

Later, more and more similar ancient towns and similar tall buildings no longer brought me freshness. Zhao Lei sang "Walk with me on the streets of Chengdu", Ma "South Mountain South, North Autumn North ~" and Donye. S sang "I love a wild horse, but there is no grassland in my house" before being arrested. A group of folk singers sang the fire to one quiet town after another.

Xitang, Wuzhen, Fenghuang and Yangshuo are just different villages built in the southeast and northwest of the motherland, but all of them have bar singers pretending to be depressed and frustrated, like a national chain of "so-and-so stories" selling souvenirs that they have never bought, and copying the whole street Ctrl+C to any ancient city will not have the slightest sense of disobedience. There are also songs repeatedly played by folk musical instruments, such as "A Moment-Lijiang Xiaogan" and "Little Baby". Trust me, you'll understand when you hear the prelude. ...

So I found that I seem to prefer this simple trip of "facing the sea and blooming in spring".

This idea came from my first day in Dali facing Erhai Lake. It was winter at that time, and it didn't start until 9: 00 a.m. in Dali in winter, because it was still not bright at 8: 00. In the light rain, I took a bus from the railway station to the reserved youth travel agency. The youth travel agency is located in a small building near the sea in Diego town. When we arrived, the volunteers didn't get up and opened the door for us in the dim light. At about nine o'clock in the morning, the rain gradually stopped. Suddenly, Brother Volunteer shouted "Look, Rainbow ~". As a "clown" who grew up in the north for many years, he saw the rainbow with his own eyes for the first time and was so excited that he wanted to go to the roof. This feeling is no less than the excitement of southerners seeing snow for the first time.

Near noon, the sun finally came out, sweeping away the cold weather before. The picture is real, no processing.

I like the design of the youth travel room very much. The big floor-to-ceiling windows are really facing Erhai Lake, and they are really radiant. Only then did I know that the four-character idiom I learned in primary school was not enough to describe the scene before me.

Suddenly want to stay here, not just for a year, a year, two years, or even a lifetime, what's wrong? Perhaps it was because I had accumulated too much pressure and didn't want to continue to bear it. I am eager to release, which makes me begin to feel that what purpose must be achieved, what desire must be realized, and what pursuit and dream are not necessarily successful in the eyes of others.

The impression of Dali is far more than Lijiang, and half of it is on Erhai Lake. The feeling of riding Erhai Lake is far more than riding Xiamen Island. If cycling around Xiamen is a small and fresh literary style trip, then cycling around Erhai Lake is a heroic road with rippling blue waves. It was my first time riding an electric car, and I also took people to ride it. It is also the only time so far that a classmate who was born in Hainan and drove an electric car all over the street severely refused.

On New Year's Eve, we prepared a big table of home-cooked dishes with our friends. The long table was put together into a square, and twenty people ate around the table with rice bowls, secretly observing whether their food had been finished. I felt a little satisfied for the first time that day, which was the happiest thing for the chef-the food I cooked was eaten up by the diners without reservation, and the action was praise.

As Zhang Jiajia wrote in Passing Through Your World:

"We are going to see the infinitely calm lake water, the snowy peaks and the grasslands where the sun sings. Going far away, the mountains are all hometown. "

Perhaps the best state of travel is to make it look like life.

Now, I will never travel without saying anything.

Without the long vacation as a student and the opportunity to talk about skipping classes, all the time becomes so tense and expensive. Travel, a luxury activity, lacks not only money but also time. We may have more financial support, but at the same time we have lost a lot of free time. Every trip has to bear the pain of losing 300 yuan a day, the money is negative growth, and the weight is positive every day. You can earn money by lying at home honestly on weekends!

Don't tell me that money is vulgar, and the spiritual wealth gained by traveling is more important. Bah, I can't eat, I can't pay the rent! Ok, go out and live in a luxurious sea view room for two days, take two photos in a circle of friends, and come back to sleep on the road. This is really expensive, a photo 1000, a praise for 20 yuan ~ I don't have that kind of expensive vanity.

Therefore, every time I travel, I do everything with a sense of security after careful planning, from buying cheap air tickets three months in advance or seizing the train berth, to stopping serving at the local gourmet restaurant with the highest praise rate near the inn. Before I packed my suitcase, I could conceive the framework of the whole trip in my mind.

This does not mean that I should step on it bit by bit according to the plan, but that I can have a final choice after I arrive in a strange place, which is very important for choosing phobia.

The state of the whole travel cycle is probably like this:

"Wow, it's beautiful here. I'm going here. "

"I finally have to go, pack my bags!"

"Too happy, too happy, the sky is so blue and the scenery is so beautiful.

Authentic rice noodles are delicious. "

"I'm so tired, I have to get up early tomorrow."

"So many people have to wait for a photo."

"It's best to stay at home. I want to go home and earn money. "

"Oh, I'm leaving tomorrow. I can't bear to part with it."

"Hey, I came back to suck."

Then there is a simple question, the destination is so good that I can't bear to leave you. Finally, I don't want to go home honestly, and then go to work to save money for my next trip.

Don't ask me what's the point of such a trip. Travel doesn't need to be meaningful at all. There are too many meaningless things in life: knowing it is useless or putting down your posture and staying; I went out to eat a hot pot in the middle of the night and had to walk home to lose weight. Advise gay friends to put down his cell phone.

The same is true of travel, which can be a healing road to vent oneself, a blind date trip to expect an affair, or a self-release to escape from life. What's the point of so many trips?

As Sitar tan sang in the song:

We went to the lake on the grassland,

When migratory birds fly back,

When we all grow up, we will have a doll.

He will grow up and leave, and we will leave,

I am writing to you,

You won't write back,

That's it.

Please forward it if you like.

Review the past

You said I've changed. Who hasn't?

He doesn't really like you.

Those things in Beijing are against the laws of Beijingers.

The breeze of time and you

I love traveling, photography and life, and I am determined to be a happy little fool and share with you those little things, whether warm or dark, the most important ones.

I don't care if I come or not. Are you waiting for me to pay a New Year call to you?
