When traveling with elderly people and children, we will also consider their physical fitness and adaptability comprehensively. If conditions permit, we will arrange as many tourist attractions as possible to check-in, otherwise it will always feel like we have missed a hundred million.
About 4-6 weeks before departure, my teammates and I will start dividing tasks. He is responsible for the overall road book, planning the itinerary, locking the route, and making precise arrangements for each day and time period, including the rationality of connecting scenic spots and the matching of transportation vehicles.
I will arrange my daily life according to the itinerary, such as meals, hotels, and some details: clothing, medicine, even a music list on the road, mosquito repellent supplies in summer, etc. are essential.
After everything is ready, we will pay for the transportation tickets, attraction tickets, and hotel fees in advance, which will save a lot of expenses.
And the result of such careful preparation is that we will achieve a more perfect sense of travel “ceremony” with high cost-effectiveness, while on the way, everyone will only have fun playing and enjoying the scenery, almost without encountering “unexpected” or “unexpected” situations.
In Xijiang Qianhu Miao Village, we encountered heavy rain, but because we had booked a hotel in advance and had staff come to pick us up as soon as we got off, we were not affected by the bad weather at all; At the popular Huangguoshu Waterfall, we stayed near the scenic area and got up early to enter the mountain in the first wave, avoiding the dense crowd of people, and the experience was not compromised at all; During the peak of the Spring Festival travel season, we rushed to book tickets in the middle of the night and didn’t miss the Hunan Provincial Expo. We also witnessed firsthand the nightmare of Hunan teenagers – Mrs. Xin Zhui
Moreover, these two little ones in my family have been wandering around since they were 2 or 3 years old, and have become experienced travel experts. It should be noted that the dopamine levels produced by walking are a pleasure that is difficult to experience in daily life, so their sense of happiness is higher, and they also have more opportunities to play and talk with their friends. Now occasionally, I also join us as a junior advisor, giving some unique advice. Sometimes, when children’s thinking becomes more meticulous, adults are not as good.
A family planned trip is definitely full of joy during the process. We will take many, many photos, and after returning, we will also create our own travel yearbook or edit videos. We will open them from time to time on our own account to please ourselves.
Life is like a long journey, and those who are truly gifted by life are mostly those who plan ahead and continue to cultivate.
Since we can go out and explore the depth and width of the world vertically, why not cherish the opportunity, see as you believe, and use the same cost to fully experience it? This is the correct way to open up travel.
So, regardless of the cost-effectiveness of travel, I think it’s all ‘playing rogue’.
Money cannot be earned all the time, it can be spent all the time, so I choose to spend money in order to have the motivation to make money again.
For me, traveling is the best way to consume.
Luxury consumption such as bags, jewelry, and fashion has left me feeling indifferent. NetEase’s strict selection or domestic boutique products can achieve the replacement of big brands. Entering middle age, when you are already wealthy, you no longer need the blessing of luxury goods. I also don’t like to browse live streaming rooms. Apart from daily expenses, only travel can achieve fast card swiping.
I can make pre trip guides, but it’s not for the sake of being meticulous and frugal, but to find the desired consumption items, so that I won’t miss out on exciting experiences and feel comfortable and not tired.
After checking in at traditional tourist attractions, I will pursue high-quality new additions. For example, when you go to Chengdu, you can experience the beautiful and delicious Sichuan banquet. A panoramic immersive Han culture themed food show can let people know what “eating culture” is like. Going to Beijing and Shanghai, one must chase after plays, concerts, and art exhibitions that cannot be seen in their hometown, allowing their soul to be washed away by various high-end events. To go to Henan, you need to visit the Drama Fantasy City several times because each season has different scenery and moods. When you go to Guangzhou, you should try more local Cantonese cuisine because each one has its own characteristics and it is difficult to choose, so you must spend money to taste them all.
Many people think that a hotel on a journey is just a one night sleep, which is the part that can be saved. However, I believe that five-star hotels have comfortable bedding, clean hygiene, and a quiet environment, which can make me sleep well and feel happy. After all, modern people really need a good night’s sleep. Without this “1”, everything else in travel would be “0”.
In my travels, those who can take a taxi will never walk, those who can take a cable car will never climb mountains, those who can eat specialty restaurants will never eat fast food, and those who can spend money to enter VIP will never queue up. In short, doing things that can be done with money is never difficult for oneself.
If you’re afraid of spending money, don’t go out. When you come out to play, buy something to enjoy.
After working hard for a year and having limited opportunities to travel, it is important to be willing to spend money to buy time.
It is not advisable to overdraw one’s physical strength in order to save money. If the body cannot relax, it will become even more exhausted than going to work. Why come out and find fault. The process of traveling is comfortable and pleasant both physically and mentally, which can increase happiness.

Spending money like water during the journey can completely relieve my stress. Shopping is a common way for women to relieve stress. Instead of buying extra things for the sake of buying, it’s better to spend money on the ever-changing scenery to enrich oneself with more experiences and insights. After all, the meaning of life lies in experiencing and thinking, and other unnecessary external things are just occupying the space of the house.
In fact, consumption is also our homework. Money has meaning only when it flows, what is spent is called money, and what is left in the hand is only numbers.
Sometimes, I intentionally consume in scenic spots to take care of the local people’s business. After all, they are all simple laborers who support their families and earn some hard-earned money. There is also the joy of giving roses and leaving fragrance in their hands.
When I see my favorite cultural and creative products, I am also willing to pay for those beautiful ideas and exquisite craftsmanship, take them back to give to friends, express my feelings, and share the travel gains with friends.
Daring to consume is strength, and being able to consume is ability.
I am not the scapegoat, and of course, I will also avoid pitfalls during travel and stop impulsive payments in a timely manner. The key to preventing being deceived into consuming is to have more brains and learn some legal self-defense.
After a trip provides me with a sense of relaxation and complete relaxation, I will have more energy to devote myself to work.
Be strict with yourself on a regular basis, and treat yourself well when traveling.
