Where do people who travel all day get their money?

Now many friends often see many young people traveling in new media videos. They travel all day. So how do they earn their income? I'm curious, because traveling all day won't work properly. The following is a specific guide to play.

Whether it's accommodation. Or transportation costs, these are big investments in travel.

And all kinds of photographic equipment. I changed the SLR camera from Nikon D200 to Canon 5D2 and then to Canon 5D4. There are four or five kinds of lenses, as well as drones, tripods, stabilizers and so on. 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. Strictly speaking, I can't let go.

In the past five or six years, I have been to 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 10 times. I like to learn more about a place, Lugu Lake. I have been there five times. 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. I have traveled to Italy for 17 days, but I still feel that it is not enough. But many people go to Europe 10 days, 10 countries.

I have seen penguins in the Antarctic, aurora in the Arctic, penguins in 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 is there so much time and money to support so many trips? Is it a rich second generation with mines at home?

I was born in Changshu, a county-level city below Suzhou, Jiangsu Province, and a small village by the Yangtze River. Ordinary parents, whether farmers or workers, are hardworking when they are young.

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

When I was young, my parents had to go to the fields to do farm work after work. Nobody cares about me, so I learned to cook and eat by myself when I was five or six years old.

Nowadays, the skills of many rural people are actually forced out. At that time, I learned to cook before the stove was high. 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.

In summer, I swam in the river in front of the door, walked barefoot on the ridge of the field, and followed the boys to catch frogs in the field. Many beautiful things are hidden in my heart, and my parents' love makes me feel that life is not bitter.

Growing up, I've 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 in front of the sewing machine at 2 o'clock in the middle of the night, I want to grow up quickly and earn money to support my family.

That's too far.

After graduation, I stayed in Suzhou as an interior designer for two years, and then I listened to my parents and returned to them. In their traditional thinking, after all, a girl is at ease around.

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

Behind all success, there are efforts that you can't see.

At that time, I painted until the early hours of the morning every day, and I had to do a lot of things by myself. 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. It's really good to find a person traveling when you go out! Free and easy.

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

At that time, a lot of money was basically used to buy air tickets and book hotels.

However, if you pay, you will get something. Because of the delicate writing, there will be more and more fans. Some websites will find you, pack your plane ticket and accommodation to a destination, write my own travel notes when I come back and share them online.

Is there such a good thing? So I changed from traveling at my own expense to traveling freely, but I 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 think of composition and mirror movement. In order to keep healthy, I have given up sugary drinks for more than five years.

As time went on, I got more opportunities. For example, my trip to the South Pole is free. A normal trip to the South Pole costs at least 80,000 yuan.

At that time, Zhu Fei was promoting the Antarctic route, but it didn't sell well at first. Charter an icebreaker and have more seats. Therefore, of the 2,000 applicants, 20 were selected to go for free. Fortunately, I am in the 20th session.

In fact, many people are better than me, but because of the tight time, I don't have time to apply for an American visa. I had one before. So the sentence "Opportunities are for those who are prepared" is really true.

Go on road trip, Namibia, Africa, I also went as a photographer for free, but I need to record my itinerary for my teammates. After all, the cost of going once is more than 50 thousand.

I remember that I was the only one in the whole team playing the camera. Shoot the stars with a tripod in the morning. In the surrounding darkness, wild boar and elephants may haunt.

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 200,000 yuan, but after all, I have completed a life dream and have 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.

There are also friends who have resigned from civil servants or millions of annual salary, and travel from the media. It's really pitiful to say the benefits.

A while ago, my headline income was about 1.600 days, and the average daily income was less than 1.5 million yuan.

Of course, there are also well-made heads from the media, with an annual income of more than 654.38+0 million. First, team operation, second, distinctive personal label, and third, catching up with the bonus period, but the pay behind it is not affordable for you and me, so don't envy it.

Now I have many platforms, and each platform will have more or less benefits. If I save money, 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 my income is not as much as my previous management 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 open recruitment. As long as you have enough fans and are good enough, you can sign up. Bonuses range from 2000 to 8000 yuan.

At the same time, I also travel to my favorite places, such as 24 trips to Xinjiang. I spent the first 20 trips alone, until Xinjiang Netcom 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".

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

Over the years, after seeing the world, my troubles will become smaller and I will always 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 and 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 an ordinary Jiangnan girl, an ordinary family, an ordinary appearance and an ordinary figure, but I am hardworking, sincere, kind and simple.
