Day 63 Self-planned-trip

Self-planned-trip

People love sightseeing in foreign countries in their leisure time, however, following a tourists group restricts the enjoyment of the trip. Since we will not be able to visit all the attraction points, and the schedule may force us to reluctantly attend some tedious events. Therefore, the self-guided tour has become the best option for many of us. Especially for English-speaking countries, people who do not have language barriers in most areas around the world are propelled to plan their own trip. There are many factors needed to consider, so we must proceed with prudent and cautious.

Similar to other objectives, we need to define the goal in our trip first. These goals are the key features that we would like to concentrate on. For instance, we might want to have a economical journey; we might prefer more natural sights or foreign urban lifestyle, and we can choose to travel across the country or enjoy local nourishment in a specific city. Obviously, the difference in our objections carries out various plans, and some of these ideas are inapplicable. Hence we should evaluate the cost-benefit relationship and eliminate the trivial options. 

In my opinion, the whole travel process can be divided into four coefficients: transportation, attraction, accommodation and dining. Moreover, all the adjustments made over these factors are the corollary of the measurement between amenity and cost. Corresponding to our human nature, we will always pursue the higher standard of enjoyments, but the impediment prohibits us from obtaining it is the price. In fact, for most of the people, the cost has been the crucial element to ponder on traveling plans. So generally, we tend to achieve the maximum degree of enjoyment with the minimum cost possible. In order to reach that target, we should establish our plan with a conclusive view of all factors. Actually, we can find all these four factors are correlative. To illustrate, the accommodation at point A maybe higher than point B, but it is closer to the attraction point that we will visit. Thus the transportation cost required to be accounted into the total cost. As a consequence, we should find the converge of these elements where produce most efficiency and effective outcome. 

At last, we should not be induced by the low-cost and forget the most important factor while traveling overseas, the safety matter. The arbitrary term that we should always keep in mind is that not matter how keen we are into the trip. Our personal safety shall prevail on top of all other considerations. We have to maintain health and safety in order to continue our journey, and explore our immense world in the future.
