Another travel lifestyle of the old couple, such a happy old age.

Recently, there is a very popular "flower backpacker" on the Internet. They are kings aged 64 and 6 1 year. The ordinary old couple living in Beijing have been to dozens of countries such as Europe, North America, South America and Russia with their backpacks. Before that, they had rich domestic self-help travel experience. Every time they talk about their experience of traveling around the world, the old couple's words are always mixed with laughter. They

Although the old couple have rich experience in self-help travel in China, before that, they never thought that their dream of a global world could be realized on their own. Perhaps worrying about the language barrier is also an important reason, but I made up my mind to go abroad after knowing an accidental feeling.

When this "flower backpacker" traveled to Tiger Leaping Gorge in Yunnan again, he happened to meet a foreign tourist in an inn of Naxi nationality. He can't speak a word of Chinese, but he dares to go to a remote place in China. Suddenly, the old couple was stimulated and unconvinced. So after coming back from Yunnan, he and his wife Wang suggested that we can also travel abroad. The two hit it off, and soon began to plan their travel routes and began to recite English short sentences for seven or eight hours every day.

It was not until the first stop in Venice that their trip around the world began to appear "obstacles". I found out why they couldn't tell me when they asked for directions. However, the trouble of language communication did not stop them. Wang said with a smile: They choose to communicate with others through comparison and rowing to solve the problems they will encounter during their trip. For example, once they wanted to stay in a hotel in Venice for a few days, the local boss said that they needed 90 euros a night, which was not cheap when converted into RMB! They want their boss to give them a discount, but they can't remember how to express "cheap" and "discount".

Finally, Zhang Guangzhou simply said in Chinese: "Cheap!" While holding his hand from high to low, the description of the strokes really made the boss understand. Finally, he succeeded in clinching a deal at a price of 60 euros, which was more exciting than the difference of earning a few cents from buying food. Although the old couple didn't understand the language, they succeeded in bargaining.

It seems that they fell in love again on this trip.

After traveling around Europe 16 countries for 88 days, they deeply realized that traveling abroad is not as troublesome as they thought, which prompted them to go further and further around the world: the United States, Canada, Nepal, Brazil, South Africa, Argentina, Mexico and Australia, and they want to go more and more, and their enthusiasm for traveling cannot be stopped because of the smooth progress of the trip!

During the trip, his wife, Wang, was once ill, severely dehydrated and had a high fever of 40 degrees Celsius. Her husband, Zhang Guangzhu, gave his wife a generous arm and warm embrace when she was ill, and took care of her carefully, while carrying a big bag weighing almost dozens of pounds, taking care of it stop and go. The wife I saw on the side is also very distressed by her. She said: "Seeing that he is carrying such a heavy bag, I especially want to help him, but I have no strength at all. I am distressed. "

In Australia, they used to sit side by side in the wild, roast sweet potatoes with branches and enjoy the beautiful night scene filled with stars. They felt the most common and simple romance between each other ... and all the hardships, troubles, relaxations and pleasures between them were recorded by heart. After this wonderful journey, they suddenly found that the distance between them was getting closer and closer.

Before retirement, the old couple were so busy with their careers that they even had the experience of living apart for several years. I once felt strange to each other, and I also felt that "the old couple have been married for so many years, and there is nothing to say and share." But magically, when they began to travel in China and then embarked on a journey around the world, they found that "we are like playing with friends when we are in love."

Even if they had a little quarrel during the trip, Zhang Guangzhu would cheer up his wife in various ways, get along with each other every day, and experience the novelty that has never been seen before, only to find that it has been too quiet for so many years, and only when traveling did he begin to get to know each other again. The two gray-haired old people are also very grateful for the good feelings that travel has brought them.

On the bumpy road, there is light when you are there; Stumbling forward, there is a direction to accompany you; Leaning in your warm arms, feeling each other's heartbeat, as long as I have you, I am not afraid to go anywhere. Thanks to travel, we can reproduce the best state of love. This letter is dedicated to my favorite husband, Zhang Guangzhu.
