Introduce you to a star who travels around the world. There are many books about him outside.

Zhu: Traveling around the world costs $3,000.

Zhu, a 32-year-old boy from Northeast China, spent 77 days in 28 countries and regions on four continents, including transportation and accommodation, and spent only $3,000, completing the "global dream" that most people thought was out of reach, creating the myth of comfortable travel in the global economy.

Zhu was born in 1970 in Shenyang. From 1992, he completed his college studies by selling newspapers. 1999, went to study in Britain and got an MBA.

When studying in Britain, Zhu's roommate was an English boy studying geography. One night, while drinking and chatting in a bar, his roommate pointed to the newspaper and said proudly, "Look, we British people have traveled around the world again", looking smug. Zhu was unconvinced and thought he could do it, so he made a bet with his roommate.

Gambling, but traveling around the world can't start with a backpack. Which route to take, how much to invest and what to pay attention to must be planned in detail. Fortunately, Zhu studied marketing in MBA, and careful calculation is his strength. He spent half a year collecting all kinds of tourism information and cultural and geographical information from various countries, and determined that "traveling around the world for $3,000" was not a dream plan, although the normal cost was $200,000.

On May 15, 2002, Zhu, who successfully completed his MBA, set out from London, England and began his "global travel". In the next 84 days, from the vast Atlantic Ocean to the vast Pacific Ocean, from Christchurch in New Zealand to Hawaiian beaches in the United States, from smoky Jerusalem to a quiet and peaceful Swiss town, this ordinary China youth left his footprints. The first stop is Athens, the capital of Greece, then from Greece to Italy, via Switzerland to France, Spain and Portugal, and finally fly back to London. Then fly from London to Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, and then from Hong Kong to Beijing. After a short rest in China, he flew to Seoul, Sydney, the capital of Australia, and then to Auckland. Then, he flew to Los Angeles, Mexico, Vancouver, Seattle and new york. Finally fly back to London from new york.

What supported his whole journey was a very cheap round-the-world ticket he bought. With a ticket of $65,438+0,000, you can take any of the eight major airlines for six times. Zhu solved the problem of long-distance air tickets. Trains, tourist buses and multi-person shared cars are used for short and medium trips. And the discount for booking air tickets in advance is incredibly low. The cheapest air ticket actually cost him only 0.0 1 euro! It is equivalent to RMB 80 cents. After spending more than 1 000 dollars on the plane ticket, he spent one third of his travel expenses to solve the accommodation problem. Finally, 65,438+0,000 yuan was used by Zhu to play and buy tourist souvenirs.

Traveling around is not a masochistic trip. "Traveling around the world for $3,000 is not a journey of self-abuse that everyone imagines eating dry food and sleeping on the road. Every time I go to a country, I will go to some special places to eat. " In Las Vegas, he stayed in a five-star hotel, ate a seafood buffet and visited the Colorado Grand Canyon, which only cost less than 100, because his hotel was reserved and cost less than100.

Zhu said that five philosophies supported his global travel: travel is a way of life; Travel is an investment, such as buying stocks for yourself. The experience and growth in the journey will add points to the future. Travel is an adventure, not an adventure; Travel is not asceticism, eat well, play well, have fun, along the way; Traveling, not traveling, can accumulate more life experience.
