What should women pay attention to when traveling alone? Which way is the most economical?

The first thing that women should pay attention to when choosing poor travel must be safety. Everyone must be vigilant when traveling. Although there are many good people, one in ten thousand chances of meeting bad people is 100% painful for you, so be careful.

What should women pay attention to when traveling alone? If you want to climb Mount Everest and cross Hoh Xil, you are advised to buy professional equipment. But if it is an ordinary trip, shuttling between villages and towns, even in remote places, as long as you don't do extreme sports, those equipment can be used.

The lower the profile, the less like a tourist. A set of outdoor equipment not only burns money, but also tells everyone that you are a tourist with rice, which will make you very eye-catching. When I was traveling in Inner Mongolia, I saw tourists carrying big backpacks and wearing brightly colored jackets. I felt that they just tied a headband on their foreheads and wrote letters to the world. The local people dress normally, or simply, and it is really abrupt and obvious that a group of tourists wearing dazzling outdoor clothes arrive. For women who travel alone, being too conspicuous is definitely not a good thing.

The usual equipment can be: the most comfortable and favorite pair of Adi sports shoes, bought in a factory store a few years ago, 200 yuan, black, dirt-resistant, light, usually worn when going out for running or short trips; I wore Gewitt shorts when I was in the hot Ye Ping, but I bought them online at 19 yuan the other day. I thought it was quite cheap, so I bought two pairs, which were waterproof and felt good. Because of the different environment during the trip, I often wear pants, especially gravel quick-drying pants, which absorb moisture and sweat. Nike's old backpack, backpack system, capacity of about 35L, looks extremely low-key, dark blue, very inconspicuous.

As it turns out, these are enough. The bag doesn't need to be that big. You can't take big and heavy bags. The old backpack is just right. The just-concluded 22-day short trip is completely enough, and there is no problem with a longer trip. A pair of good sneakers can cope with long-distance travel without extreme sports. It doesn't mean that the more remote the destination is, the less you walk, because you can't walk to the next destination in that place, almost all of them are long-distance buses and trains, and small towns are not big enough to walk to the finish line, and the walking time is not as long as that of big cities.

As for luggage, female friends will pack a lot of inexplicable luggage, thinking that they will bring this and that, and they are afraid that something will happen if they don't. In the end, you will find that you can't carry it at all-the back movement here doesn't mean that you can carry it for five minutes, take two steps and jump around, but that you can carry it all day.

Female friends with insufficient travel experience should never overestimate their bearing capacity. A thin woman walking with a bag weighing 10 kg for a day will still feel heavy, but the heavier it is, the harder it will be. As for those female friends who are going to travel with a big bag of twenty or thirty kilograms as soon as they get started, you can go out for a few hours with this bag to see if you are willing to take such a bag for a long trip.

A female friend said, I'm going to travel far away, so I have to buy a big bag and bring a lot of things. Actually, it's not. For people who travel long distances, the longer they walk, the less luggage they have. Because you have been walking for a long time, you will find that you don't need so many things to travel. In fact, you only need a little luggage. For example, clothes, thick coats (such as down jackets) are just one piece, and they are worn on the body most of the time; Two or three pieces of the same type of clothes, such as T-shirts, are enough. You just need to make sure you can wear another one when you wash this one. Just wear two pairs of pants (one for each cowboy), one for each person, and quick-drying pants are light. Quick-drying pants are basically versatile and can cope with all kinds of situations.

Have you used it for a long time?

Don't bring it. Buy locally when you really need it, and don't think so badly of everything outside. Medicine, a bottle of Yunnan Baiyao+a small bag of band-aid+a few small bags of antidiarrheal drugs is enough. If you really get a serious illness, you should go to the hospital even if you have medicine. Don't expect to take out all the commonly used drugs. What a good medicine box you have to bring.

For female friends, the key word of packing is not "what to bring", but "what to take away"-don't take anything you can, and don't think about taking everything, and you will be miserable on the road.

About Accommodation Poor travelers either carry sleeping bags at the railway station or stay in very cheap small hotels.

Wool sleeping bag lining

Not to keep warm, but to keep clean. In some cheap hotels, quilts and sheets are really not washed for 10 thousand years, followed by dirty and smelly. If you have a messy skin disease, it is not good, so it is necessary to fleece the sleeping bag liner. Women are afraid of being heavy, so they bring a light one, about 500-600g, which is also very cheap.

clothesline

This thing is easy to be overlooked, but it is actually very important. Long-distance travelers will inevitably encounter the problem of washing clothes. Not every hotel provides a place to dry clothes, but most small hotels do not have this condition, so they can only wash them themselves and hang them in their rooms. Therefore, the clothesline is very necessary. Selling a few dollars online has hooks at both ends. You can bring a plastic folding hanger, just one, because you don't have to wash a pile of clothes a day; Several lightweight plastic clips are used to hang socks and the like.

sound insulation earplugs

Consider taking a pair, which is very small and light. Small hotels have poor sound insulation and are often used on trains.

Hotel charges

Lonely women have natural advantages, and hotel owners are not heartless. Usually, they can win a lower price than the quoted price by talking to their boss. Anyone who reports to 20 yuan, 15 can basically get it.

Try to live in a single room with a locked door.

This is actually not difficult. Many small hotels are based on beds, single room 15 yuan, multi-room or 15 yuan/bed. When this single room is full, ask another one. It would be much better for a single woman to live in a single room. You'd better not fight with others, because you are not sure what kind of people they are and whether they will take your valuables while you are asleep.

Choice of accommodation place

This is really hard to say. Many people say that they can't live near railway stations and bus stations, but sometimes they have to live there. Some areas are small in themselves, so it is difficult to live far away from railway stations and bus stations. The prices of places where hotels are not gathered are not easy to talk about, and it is not easy to choose a relatively cost-effective one. It's not absolute anyway. It depends.

have a bath

If it's a cheap small hotel with ten or twenty dollars, don't expect to provide you with a bath, either add money to wash it, or change it to a hotel with seventy or eighty dollars, or go to a nearby bathhouse to pay for it yourself. And poor travelers can't often spend money to take a bath in the bathhouse, so many times they can only find their own way to solve it. It costs at least ten yuan to go to a bathhouse. If this small hotel allows you to add a few dollars to take a bath, use it here, which is cheaper than going to a bathhouse or changing hotels.

Usually it's free-see if the hotel owner is an easy-going person. If he is an easy-going person, borrow a bottle of hot water-even low-cost hotels usually provide hot drinking water for free. Then arrange your hair in the pool, and the accommodating boss will lend you another basin to scrub your body. Of course, please be prepared for hardship when traveling in poverty, and don't expect to take a bath for free every day. If you are willing to spend money, you should spend it on washing clothes. If you don't want to spend money, you should seize the opportunity to take a bath, because you don't know how many days it will take before you can take the next bath, especially in remote areas.

About most backpackers' equipment-the big bag in the back and the small bag in the front. If you are a thief or a robber, do you move a big bag or a small bag?

For backpackers, the small leather bag is the most eye-catching place on you. Logically, it is usually thought that you put all the most valuable things in your pocket-mobile phone, camera, wallet, and maybe ID card and bank card. If the ID card and bank card are lost together, the money in the card is in danger. Moreover, small bags are easy to be stolen and robbed, so the pocket may be a place with a very high shooting rate.

It is recommended not to put valuables or particularly important things in your pocket. It's much safer to put it in a big bag than in a pocket. The mobile phone and camera are put in the pocket of clothes, and the coat is usually zipped, which is safe; It's convenient to take it whenever you want. Of course, my camera is a very light card machine, and everyone who has a SLR will be seeking benefits for themselves. Important documents such as ID card and passport are put in the zipper compartment of the big bag. How many times do I need to use my ID card or passport a day? Usually only once. So it's no trouble to put it in a big bag.

The zipper of the wallet can be fastened with a small lock or a subminiature mountaineering buckle. Otherwise, when your eyes are attracted by the front or the sky, you don't even know that the zipper of your wallet is unzipped. The usable subminiature carabiner can at least ensure that the wallet is not so easy to open. About money

The principle is-take only a little cash with you.

Travel expenses are divided into three bank cards, two of which are free to withdraw money from UnionPay in various places, such as Huaxia and Guangfa. Huaxia is free every day, Guangfa and Xingye are free in the first three months, and cross-regional and cross-bank withdrawals are also free. As long as it is UnionPay, these two cards will share part of the travel expenses and use them in turn. The third is postal service, which can save a small sum of money in case there is no UnionPay ATM in some remote areas. Postal savings offices can help emergencies, but postal services have to be charged by cross-regional banks, so they can only be used as a precaution. Three cards are placed in three places. Even if something happens to a bag, there are still two cards in your hand.

Take a small amount of cash (three or five hundred) at a time, only put the amount you need the next day in your wallet, and keep the rest close to your body. For example, if you need less than 100 yuan the next day, just put a 100 yuan in your wallet and you won't put it again. For poor tourists, spending money is relatively slow. Three or five hundred dollars can be used for many days, and there are six opportunities to withdraw money for free in a month. Don't worry. In case the wallet is lost, stolen or robbed, the loss will be around 100 yuan.

Close-fitting is to put it where others can't see it, and it is also your safest place. I found a small pocket of comfortable cloth, washed it, sewed buttons and lanyards, hung it around my neck and put it in my underwear to feel the existence of the pocket at any time. This small pocket contains a postal emergency card, a few hundred dollars in cash hidden in the body, and the phone number of the emergency contact person during the day. At night, according to the situation, a camera, a mobile phone, two other bank cards, an ID card, a passport and so on will be added. If you are sharing a room with a stranger, secretly put all valuable and important things in this pocket, fasten them and hang them under your underwear to ensure safety.

Do you need to bring special props or something about how to defend yourself when you are alone? In fact, there is a little thing that is very useful-mint-flavored oral spray. A very light bottle, more than 20 yuan a bottle, can be sprayed hundreds of times. This thing has a strong mint flavor, and it has a strong mint stimulation when sprayed into the mouth. Think about what will happen if you spray it in your eyes. So you don't need to bring a bottle of pepper spray or wolf spray, just a bottle of mint-flavored oral spray, which can be used to keep your breath fresh at ordinary times and can be used as pepper spray at critical moments. You can also carry a folding knife for sharpening pencils in your pocket.

You will meet many good people on the road, and you will be more likely to trust others when you travel. But there must be vigilance, and female friends can trust their intuition. If your intuition tells you that this person is unreliable or this place is strange, don't stay any longer and find a way out.

Try not to go out at night. You can get up and walk at five or six in the morning, but don't stay outside after dark. Especially where there is no light, turn around quickly. About chores

eat

Eating dry food for breakfast and lunch is cheap, hungry and easy to carry, because you usually walk outside during the day. Dinner is a bit extravagant. You can eat your favorite soup, noodles and jiaozi. The total daily expenditure is in the early stage of 10 yuan.

Lonely women have a natural advantage in rubbing rice. Because most people travel in groups, they don't mind having one more woman. One more woman eats a pair of chopsticks, so this kind of thing happens more frequently, and the more remote it is, the more likely it is to happen.

line

In remote areas, transportation is the main expenditure direction of travel. It is not recommended to ride. There are many good people on the road, but in this case, as long as you meet bad people, it is difficult to protect yourself in the car. As long as you can afford the cheapest means of transportation, it is better to use cheap means of transportation instead of walking.

The principle of saving money in transportation is to use the cheapest means of transportation as much as possible. If there is a train, take it, and it is the cheapest green leather train hard seat.

Where there are trains and cars, compare the cost performance. In some places, the scenery on the road is so good that you can't see it by train. Let's weigh it.

Take a bus where there is a bus. Although it costs five or six yuan to take a taxi in a small place, it is cheaper to take a bus as long as 1 yuan. Let's get closer, for free.

In addition to wearing a thick coat as mentioned above, two pieces of the same type of clothes are enough (as long as they can be replaced). The choice of clothes is best for travel, and the versatile and convenient clothes such as sports zipper cardigan, T-shirt and jeans are the best. What long skirts, Korean coats and small suits should be avoided as far as possible. Although it looks beautiful, it is really inconvenient, especially in remote areas, unlike cities and offices-windy, sandy and without asphalt roads. It's normal that the road is full of sand and mud. Walking like that is tiring and easy to get dirty. If it's a short trip, just dress up. If it's a long trip, it's too inconvenient, because the simpler the luggage, the better. Don't bring inconvenient clothes.

Look carefully at your packed clothes before you leave, and see which ones can be taken away, some of which are repetitive and replaceable. You can consider taking one less. In short, don't bring what you can.

Phone number of the emergency contact.

You don't need many numbers, choose the most important one, write it on a small note and put it in the safest place nearest to you, so as to ensure that you won't lose contact with your family even if your mobile phone is lost or stolen, and even if there is an accident, others can contact your family through this note.

Outdoor headscarf

That is, the magical headscarf is really widely used outside. In addition to the well-known common uses such as scarves, masks, hair bands, eye masks and wrist guards, the biggest use of women is curly hair. Poor tourists can't take a bath every day, but once their hair is oily, they are very disappointed. Using outdoor headscarf can easily wrap all your long hair and bangs in a sun hat, which is not only convenient for walking, but also can slow down the speed of getting dirty.

towel

Two is enough. Towels are heavy when wet. Don't you think it's too heavy to take three or four to dry?

Ship biscuits/bread

Good things, bring two more bags. Apart from free meals, I haven't found anything cheaper than compressed biscuits to satisfy my hunger. A pack of compressed biscuits in Guanshengyuan is about three yuan, and there are two pieces in it, one of which is equivalent to a meal, so a pack can last almost one day. Other foods that are so hungry will not be so cheap. Don't eat it right away, it's easy to get tired of it. Just eat a pack every once in a while. For female friends who eat a lot, they may eat one pack at a time, so please measure it yourself. )

nailclippers

Take it. It is inconvenient without it. If you have bangs, you can consider bringing a little hair clipper. Cutting it yourself is much cheaper than going to the barber shop.

cup

It is recommended to bring two. One is a sports cup which is convenient to use when traveling, and has good sealing performance, and can directly hold high-temperature water. There is no need to keep warm, because the thermos cup is very heavy, and there are free hot drinking water in hotels, railway stations and trains, so you need hot water to fill it at any time. The other is a very light plastic cup, which is very light and cheap. Besides being used as mouthwash for brushing teeth, this cup can also be used to clean small fruits, such as grapes and winter dates. Otherwise, it will be very sad for you to carry a plastic bag to wash the grapes.

Garden/flip-flops

In addition to the sneakers you usually wear when walking, you must bring a pair of slippers. Do you dare to wear slippers in a small hotel?

But it is not recommended to bring "pure" slippers, preferably garden slippers or flip-flops. The key is that this kind of shoes can not only be used as slippers, but also be worn out and light. In case of emergency, such as wet sneakers and downpour, you can wear this pair of shoes instead of sneakers. It can be worn by train for a long time, avoiding indecent and comfortable. That's all I can think of at present. I'll add it when I think of it:)

Backpacking alone is not terrible, on the contrary, it is fun. If you don't know how to travel long distances, you might as well start with a short trip. Let's take a short trip for ten or twenty days first. Don't rush to buy any expensive equipment. Don't take too much luggage. Just take the luggage needed for this short trip. After walking for more than ten or twenty days, you will naturally know how to travel long distances, what you need to bring, what you don't need to bring, what problems you will actually encounter during your trip, and how to prepare for a long journey.

What is the most economical way to travel in poverty?

In addition to taking the train and taking a hard seat, you can also try to find special fares on major travel apps.

This approach has two advantages. First, the travel cost is greatly reduced (special fares are sometimes as low as dozens, which is more cost-effective than taking the train); Second, the travel destination is uncertain. Maybe the city is still a place you don't know, so it's relatively new to start the strategy. There are often many unexpected gains when traveling in this place.

stay

There are two ways to stay:

If you live alone, you can choose youth travel. If you stay in a room for dozens of nights, you may meet like-minded friends, and of course you should pay attention to your personal belongings.

If you live as a family, you can choose a homestay. Compared with hotels with the same price, B&B often has a kitchen, and the hotel may still be a windowless room, so B&B is more cost-effective.

means of transportation

After arriving at the destination, arrange accommodation and you can start your journey. If you want to be frugal to the extreme, you can try scanning the small blue car all the time. Of course, this method is only applicable to places with relatively concentrated scenic spots or small and medium-sized cities.

Traveling by bike sometimes leads to more people. For example, several hutongs in Beijing are especially suitable for cycling.

And each * * * enjoys a bicycle app, and there will be special activities. For example, it costs more than ten yuan to apply for a monthly card. If you plan to use the little blue car all the time, you can save a lot of transportation expenses.

Attractions tickets

Nowadays, tourist cards are introduced in many places. For example, around Beijing, there is a Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei card, which costs almost 60 yuan. You can often come back after playing a scenic spot.

Before you leave, you can search on various forums or a treasure to see what tourist year cards are available locally.

eat

Be sure to go to the "fly shop" in the alley, which is not only authentic, but also delicious. Be sure to put an end to the online celebrity shops recommended in the Raiders. If you wait in line for a long time, the taste will be greatly reduced because of your reputation.

Speaking of which, I recommend you to do some strategies while eating. After all, during the journey, not only beautiful scenery and stories are left behind, but also taste!

When I come back from a trip, I always bring some souvenirs and gifts because of human relations, but it often takes up a lot of space. In fact, specialty products can be bought online, including postage and luggage, and they will be cheaper than physical stores.

In this way, it is not a dream to save 1000 yuan by solving the heavy expenses of transportation and accommodation. As usual, if you have a better way to save money on travel, please leave a message and share it with us.
