Traveling can be a fun way to gain life
experiences, especially during
SpringBreak-a week-long school vacation in the United States. But what if
you're a student and don't have enough money for a trip? Don't worry.
Here are some useful suggestions.
●Save: This probably is the most important preparation for traveling. Cut expenses to fatten your wallet so you'll have more choices about where to go and how to get there.
●Plan ahead: D on't wait until the last minute to plan your trip. Tickets may cost more when bought on short notice. Giving yourself several months to get ready can mean security(安全) and savings.
●Do your homework: No matter where you go, research the places you wi ll visit. Decide what to see. Travel books will provide information on the
cheapest hotels and restaurants.
●Plan sensibly: Write down how much you expect to spend for food and hotels. Stick to (坚持) your plan or you may not have enough money to
cover everything.
●Travel in groups: Find someone who is interested in visiting the same
places. By traveling with others you can share costs and experiences.
●Work as you go: Need more money to support your trip? Look for work in the places you visit.
●Go off the beaten path: Tourist cites may be expensive. You may want to rethink your trip and go to a less-known area. Smaller towns can have
many interesting activities and sights.
●Pack necessary things: The most important things to ta ke are not
always clothes. Remember medicine in case you get sick and snacks in case you cannot find a cheap restaurant.
●Use the Intemet: The net can help to save money. Some useful
websites include www. Travelcity. com, www. bargains- lowest fare(票价 ) .
com and www. economic travelcity. com.
●By planning sensibly, even students can enjoy the travel. Your travel
experiences will be remembered for a lifetime.
