Where do those people who travel all day get the money?

Now many friends often see many young people traveling in new media videos. They travel all day, so how do they get their income? I'm curious because traveling all day will definitely not work normally. Here are some specific play guides.

Whether it's accommodation. Or transportation, which is a big investment in travel.

There are also various photographic equipment. The SLR camera was switched from Nikon D200 to Canon 5D2 and then to Canon 5D4. There are four or five shots, as well as drones, tripods, stabilizers and so on. These devices add up to 60,000-70,000.

But for many people, time is more precious. Many people have an economic foundation, but they have no time. Technically, I can't let go.

In the past five or six years, I have visited 23 provinces, 5 autonomous regions, 4 municipalities and 2 special administrative regions in China. I have been to Xinjiang 24 times, Tibet 8 times and Yunnan more than a dozen times? I like to know a place in depth, just Lugu Lake. I have been there five times, and different seasons have different feelings.

On the world map, I have been to more than 40 countries. Although there are not many places, they are all deep. Traveling to Italy 17 days is still not enough, but many people go to Europe and travel to 10 countries.

I have seen penguins in the Antarctic, aurora in the Arctic, Kenya, Morocco and Namibia in Africa, dancing with local people in African tribes and driving in Iceland? .. these experiences are the most precious wealth in my life.

So back to the topic, where did I get so much time and money to support so many trips? Rich second generation, is there a mine at home?

I was born in Changshu, a county-level city below Suzhou, Jiangsu, a small village by the Yangtze River. Both parents are ordinary, both farmers and workers. What they have been exposed to since childhood is hard work.

My parents were almost penniless when they got married. In order to build a house in the countryside, they owe a lot of debts and pay them off slowly by their own hands.

When I was a child, my parents had to go to the fields to do farm work after work, and no one took care of them, so that I learned to cook by myself at the age of five or six.

Nowadays, the skills of many rural people are actually forced out. I learned to cook before I reached the height of the stove. I am too tired to see my parents, so I want to do something for them to relieve their fatigue.

Although I am poor, I always feel lucky. I grew up in the countryside when I was a child. Carefree, keep company with nature.

Swimming in the river in front of the door in summer, walking barefoot on the ridge of the field, following the boys to catch frogs in the field? .. many beautiful things are hidden in my heart, and with the love of my parents, I feel that life is not bitter.

Growing up, I have always been a good girl, the kind that doesn't bother my parents. Because I know, they are too tired. Whenever I see my mother still in front of the sewing machine at two o'clock in the middle of the night, I want to grow up quickly and earn money to support my family.

That is beside the point.

After graduating from college, I stayed in Suzhou and worked as an interior designer for 2 years. Then I listened to my parents and went back to them. In their traditional thinking, after all, a girl is at ease with her.

I started a small decoration company in this small town in my hometown. After a few years, I got the first bucket of money in my life and borrowed money to buy a house and a car.

Behind all success is something you can't see.

At that time, drawing drawings every day until the early morning, and many things needed to be done by hand. Because of my young age and inexperience, I often cry in the face of all kinds of tricky customers, which is very stressful.

Later, I began to travel to relieve stress. Traveling alone for the first time in my life, dedicated to Gulangyu Island in Xiamen. When you are away from home, you find it really good to travel alone! Free of charge.

Then it got out of hand, and I slowly went to more places after work. I also shared the travel guides of these trips online and gained some fans.

In those days, I basically made a lot of money to buy air tickets and book hotels.

However, if you pay, you will get something. Because of the delicate writing, there will be more fans. Some websites will find you, book air tickets and accommodation for a certain destination, and come back to write travel notes in my own style and share them online.

Is there such a good thing? So I changed from traveling at my own expense to traveling at no cost, but I also had to pay a lot. The cost of going to and from the airport, the cost of matching clothes, the cost of upgrading equipment and so on. But more cost is time.

In the meantime, I constantly improve myself. I study, draw, exercise, learn aerial photography, video editing and costume matching? Even when watching movies, I was thinking about composition and mirror transportation. In order to keep fit, I have given up sugary drinks for over five years.

As time went on, I got more opportunities. For example, my trip to the South Pole is free. It takes at least 80 thousand to go to the South Pole normally.

At that time, Zhu Fei was promoting the Antarctic route, but it didn't sell well at first. It rented an icebreaker and had more seats. So out of 2,000 applicants, 20 were selected to go for free. Fortunately, I am one of the twentieth.

In fact, many people are better than me, but because of the tight time, it is too late to apply for an American visa, which is already there. So the sentence "Opportunities are for those who are prepared" is correct.

For the self-driving tour in Namibia, Africa, I also went as a photographer for free, but I need to record the itinerary for my teammates. After all, the cost of going once is more than 50 thousand.

I remember that I was the only one playing with the camera in the whole team. In the morning, I photographed the starry sky with a tripod. In the darkness around me, I may see wild boar and elephants.

Over the years, I have written more and more travel notes and accumulated more and more fans. In my life, I also have more identities: editor-in-chief of magazines, proprietress of cafes, ambassador of Changshu tourism promotion and so on.

Although I invested in a coffee shop and opened it for three years, I lost about 200 thousand yuan, but after all, I realized a dream of life and had no regrets. Life is all kinds of experiences.

Gradually, I became a full-time tourist from the media. This profession, if you don't love it, is really difficult to maintain.

I also have friends who quit civil servants or earn millions a year. It is really pitiful to say that they made a trip from the media.

A while ago, I got my headline income, which was about 1600 days, with an average of less than 100 yuan per day.

Of course, there are also well-done heads from the media, and the annual income can be more than 6.5438+0 million. One is teamwork, the other is a distinctive personal label, and the third is to catch up with the bonus period, but the effort behind it is beyond your power, so don't envy it.

Now I have many platforms, and each platform will be more or less profitable. If I scrimp and save, I can maintain my trip.

Of course, the premise is to buy special air tickets and not spend money indiscriminately. I feel that as a woman, I seldom buy clothes and cosmetics.

Although I don't earn as much as I used to manage a company, I am happier and more free. Do what you like, and you won't feel tired. There is no perfect job in the world. For me, I like the time on the road.

Many platforms have recruitment activities. For example, the "headline travel season" is openly recruited. As long as you have enough fans and are good enough, you can sign up, and the prize money ranges from 2000 to 8000 yuan.

At the same time, I also traveled to my favorite places by myself, such as Xinjiang 24 times, and the first 20 times were all by myself, until the Xinjiang Internet Office found out that I had been selflessly promoting Xinjiang in recent years, and then invited me to participate in the second "Talented Journey to the West" activity.

It is also an honor to give me a place for the opening ceremony of Dooku Highway in 2020. I will be responsible for my round-trip ticket, and I am willing to do so.

Over the years, after seeing the world, my troubles will become smaller and I will often feel happy. If you have been to Iran, you will feel that wearing short sleeves in summer is also a kind of happiness.

Everyone's life is unrepeatable. Everyone has his own characteristics. Ask yourself what you want first, then work hard, and leave the rest to time. There is a saying: When you know what you want, the whole world will help you.

I am a very ordinary little girl in Jiangnan, an ordinary family, an ordinary appearance and an ordinary figure, but I am hardworking, sincere, kind and simple.
