I think as long as you are happy, you can do anything.
As a self-driving tour operator, we will carefully arrange every meal every time we travel, and carefully select every night’s accommodation, because we must make the team members happy with food and accommodation. .
But as an organizer and planner of events, I often travel around the world alone and in a car. Sometimes I stay in hotels, sometimes I stay up all night in order to rush, and sometimes I sleep in the car all night. Yes, there are, but this is a working state.
If you are traveling, I suggest you buy a spacious car and make it into a bed car. This way you can have food and accommodation guaranteed. You can even go to a hotel once a few days and take a shower. No, just do it according to your own financial strength. There is no perfect thing, only what suits you is the best.
I’ve never understood self-driving travel. It’s tiring and lonely. I’m in a deserted place and I’ll cry when the car breaks down. If I get into a car accident again and pass out, no one will know. The risk is real Too high. Moreover, the road conditions are different in each place, especially the tourist places are deep in the mountains, old forests, wastelands and Gobi. I remember taking a taxi back to the hotel from the Shennongjia Scenic Area. It was always a winding mountain road. The driver said that he was used to driving on mountain roads and was not used to driving in the city with many red lights and intersections. Vice versa, people who are used to driving in cities will not find it easy to adapt to mountain roads.
Traveling on a budget without staying in a hotel or going into a restaurant is too much. If you don't stay in a hotel, how can you take a shower? Will you stink all the way? It's too insecure to live in a car every day. What if you encounter bad guys who smash cars or something? You must be worried and nervous. You can make do with it in a day or two. If you don't relax for a long time, it will affect your mind. healthy. If you don't go to a restaurant to eat, you can only cook canned instant noodles if you want to eat. It's very tiring to go out, and it's even harder if you can't eat delicious food. Local specialties and delicacies are also part of the travel experience. It would be a pity not to try them.
If my family were to go on a self-driving trip, I would definitely obstruct them in every possible way and be very worried. Of course, I would not go along with them. A fatigued driver would not dare to drive.
Although as the old saying goes, a poor family has a rich life. But for several months on the road, in addition to the necessary gas money, tolls, etc., accommodation and meals are also a big expense. This requires careful calculation.
And living in your car is undoubtedly the preferred solution. Considering that you will live in a car for a long time, the necessary living facilities must be relatively well prepared.
Be aware of safety issues when living in a car. Public security is now good everywhere, so the possibility of encountering gangsters is relatively low. The main safety risks are as follows:
Not to mention the level of comfort, water and electricity are the primary consideration. If it is a new energy hybrid vehicle, there will be no problem with electricity consumption. Otherwise, you can search online and there will be various power supply transformation solutions.
Water is easier to solve. After all, it is rare for everyone to be in no-man’s land for a long time, so water supply along the way is the simplest. Service areas, gas stations, parks, hotels, etc. can all solve the problem.
The problem of going to the toilet is also easy to deal with. You can always have an emergency toilet in the car, and there will be a degrading agent to remove the smell. In most cases, just choose a place that is convenient for going to the toilet when parking.
To take a bath, you can usually find a bathroom in the county town, or get an hourly room, usually twice a week is enough. Some service areas in the south are even equipped with bathrooms, which are free to use and have 24-hour hot water.
Regarding cooking, if you have sufficient power supply, it is the simplest. It is very convenient to cook noodles and porridge; otherwise, you can prepare some outdoor gas stoves, cassette stoves or wood stoves. It will be all right. Just be careful to prepare windproof boards. The wind outdoors is very strong, and there is a lot of sand in the northwest and mosquitoes in the south.
This kind of self-driving is destined to be a lonely journey. How to face your lonely heart is the real test!
First of all, I don’t think that traveling by car, not staying in a hotel, or not eating late is a poor trip. In fact, the investment in this method is quite large. I saw in a self-driving group that some friends spent more than 1,000 on several online purchases to research and modify them in order to choose a suitable alcohol stove. A lot of outdoor equipment bought for self-driving is also very expensive, and many of them are left unused and then repurchased. Many people actually enjoy this way of traveling as a hobby. Just like now, many people still rent a piece of land to farm. Is it because vegetables are cheap? Do many people go fishing because the fish is cheaper? Obviously not. In fact, they all enjoy the fun experienced in this process.
Secondly, I very much accept this mode of travel. This way of going wherever you go, you can see a lot of beautiful scenery that you can't see. You will also encounter many difficulties, which have become the fun of the journey. In fact, when living in a car, sometimes you will feel that you are not a tourist, because your home is in the car. You will integrate into local life.
In addition, cooking is also a pastime. Most people who travel by car do not mainly cook. When we travel, we also mainly focus on local food. Sometimes I make some when I’m not used to eating or when I’m in a hurry. When traveling for a long time, it will be a little uncomfortable to eat out all the time, so I will cook some by myself. It is also very pleasant to have a delicious meal in a beautiful place with the wind blowing and looking at the scenery.
I wish everyone a happy trip!
As a salaryman, I reject the self-driving travel method of staying in a car to save money and traveling to national and provincial scenic spots to light fires and cook, which is harmful to the environment... Although the scenic spots and sightseeing facilities are located on national and provincial highways, the provincial roads are sunken and damaged. Trucks gather on the small roads and the dirt trails and mountain roads make your self-driving full of ever-changing uncertainties. I feel that since I have a long-distance self-driving trip plan, I believe that everyone must be fully prepared in the homework and economic planning... I feel that the safety is much increased every time I encounter the exit of a scenic spot on the highway... talk Let’s talk about my brief experience of visiting Hong Kong, Taimo River, Lhasa, Tacheng, Sanya, Jinghong, east, west, north, south and center lines over the years. ...After hundreds of thousands of arduous kilometers, I am glad that I used my spare time to travel to 31 provinces and cities this month...Nearly 10,000 G mobile phones took photos of the journey...Piles of small souvenirs along the way, and I tried my best to take pictures of the background in the hotel expressway service areas along the way. When night comes when you exit the expressway, use Yilong Tongcheng to search for local buffet breakfasts and star hotel accommodations to relieve fatigue, and search for local specialties along the street to replenish your energy^ I often recall encountering earthquakes, typhoons, mudslides, flash floods, tropical rainstorms, and climbing over thousands of snow-capped mountains on the way. Boundless forests, rainforests, barren mountains, plateaus, pristine grasslands, borders, rushing rivers, lakes and seas, passing through more than 10,000 meters of oxygen-deficient tunnels, admiring strange temples, colorful famous sights, colorful spots, returning home to rest, the loneliness of the long journey, the doubts, navigation and I judged by myself that I was very confused... I got lost in Boketu late at night and ran out of gas... I entered the Yunnan Doucha Pass and experienced a brake failure on the cliffs. The fear of a car being buried in a snowstorm in Kunlun is always vivid in my mind. There is also the long-term tingling sensation in the body, legs, and heart from driving for several months, starting from the limit of enjoying the freedom of nature and the collision of thoughts... messy conclusions... grateful for life.
I will also prepare tents, food, etc. in my car. Mainly because I am afraid that there are no hotels in some places, but before I go to a place, I always make a guide first to see if there is a hotel or B&B nearby. After all, when you go out for fun, you should relax as much as possible without getting tired, so that you can save your energy for doing meaningful things. You won’t have to worry about how to stay or eat.
If it is a long-term self-driving tour, from an economic perspective, not staying in a hotel or going into a restaurant is all from the perspective of saving, or some travelers simply want to experience the pleasure of camping in the wild and getting close to nature. , these are also the factors of so-called poor travel.
But no matter whether you are camping or sleeping in the wild during a self-driving trip, you must pay attention to your health and safety. After all, there is still a long road ahead, so you can make appropriate adjustments.
Do you accept the way of traveling on a budget without staying in a hotel or going into a restaurant by car? Personally, I certainly accept it.
The biggest expenses for self-guided travel are accommodation and meals (transportation fees and scenic spot entrance fees are too much to save). If you drive without staying in a hotel or going into a restaurant, you can save 4,000 to 5,000 yuan on a month's budget trip. For a low-income person who likes to travel, this is a big expense, and you can save a little bit.
There is no problem sleeping in the car while driving. Make some adjustments in the car and bring a quilt and sleeping bag. When sleeping, leave a crack in the car window to maintain air circulation, and do not use the air conditioner in the car (to prevent carbon monoxide poisoning). If possible, bring a puppy with you. When you fall asleep, the puppy will be your safety guard.
When parking and sleeping, choose a safe location, preferably in the life service area of ??the highway, which is safer. Or near village committees, squares, security duty stations, or places with surveillance cameras.
It is not a problem to prepare a stove, tableware and chopsticks to cook by yourself. You can change the taste and eat whatever you want.
The characteristic of self-driving travel is that you can go wherever you want without being restricted by travel routes. There is greater freedom, greater adventure, and greater fun.
But if you have enough money, you can also stay in high-end hotels and enter high-end restaurants, which is of course a kind of enjoyment.
Everyone can choose different travel methods according to their own economic situation and personal hobbies, and enjoy travel and life.
Unacceptable. This way of traveling is not about relaxing your body and mind, it is simply suffering. If it is a live broadcast, as a job, I can understand this way of traveling on a budget.
It’s rare to travel and relax between work. I don’t live like an ascetic without staying in a hotel or going into a restaurant. I might as well arrange my vacation to watch travel programs at home. Anyway, I can see the tourist destinations. Related images. Self-driving travel gives me more of a feeling that I can go wherever I want and stay wherever I want. Traveling to see things is part of it, as is food and accommodation. The process of eating and staying is also a process of experiencing the customs, customs and different food cultures of a foreign country.
Generally speaking, I cannot accept this self-driving method.
It’s acceptable. What you want when traveling by car is an unfettered process experience. Purchasing a batch of equipment is equivalent to ten days of hotel expenses. From now on, the daily accommodation expenses will be enough to buy food for a week, and the food will be quite good. You can cook whatever you want, and you can learn local dishes wherever you go. If you install an inverter in the car with higher power, the rice cooker will be no problem, and the charging of photography and communication equipment will also be solved.
There is no problem sleeping in the car, just pay attention to safety. Do not sleep in the car when the car is not turned off to prevent exhaust gas poisoning or hypoxia. Just buy a sleeping bag and be sure to leave a crack in the car window for ventilation when sleeping in the car.
In spring and autumn or in areas with lower altitudes in the south, it is more comfortable to rest in a tent outside the car.
Just one fundamental: What Qiongyou pursues is the process of free experience, which is not the same channel as the noisy and comfortable life in the city.
You are not me and I am not you, how can we fully understand each other’s true intentions? ! Even if the world is unified, everyone's different aesthetic appreciation, values ????towards things, consumption concepts, etc., determine the individual's different paths and choices. Since traveling is nothing more than a hobby and a way to adjust your life, we should all go our own way based on our own abilities, energy and courage!
My conditions are limited, but I have longed for distant places since I was a child. In other words, any area that has not been visited is still far away. Every spring, summer and autumn, there is either one long-distance trip or two short trips, one person and one car, or two couples. With a few modifications, the Sail 3 cost tens of thousands of yuan, and it became an old cow for me to travel to distant places. I can live and walk in the car, make my own meals, bathe in rivers and streams, and bury pots in the mountains. Occasionally rest in the hotel and eat local specialties. The taste is all based on one's ability. Scenic spots, you will enter if you are interested; mountains and wilderness, it is your mood that lets you fly.
Journey is a state of mind. OK, that's the way. Whether you travel rich or poor, the important thing is whether you meet the requirements you expected.
Those who fight, those who don’t fight, all fall into the inferior category.
Whether you are traveling rich or poor, it is better to smile knowingly and continue your journey...
