Ten thousand trips can't save you from mediocrity.

I remember that in August of the year, the company invited a travel photographer to tell us about his travel experience and what he thought was the ideal way to travel. He said that he had been invited by many magazines and websites. He had been to 30 countries before he was 25 years old. His passport was full of steel stamps. He took 100,000 photos and soaked the sisters of various countries. Paper, eat the food of each country on the toilets of various countries, and also earned a lot of money. But he gnashed his teeth and said that it was meaningless.

He began to get a little excited, saying that everything that the current travel industry has done is meaningless. "The thing that travel agencies do is a scam. They collect the money and sell you a dream that you can't catch." He said indignantly: "Of course, you still feel value for money."

He said that we all claim that we love to travel, from time to time have the idea of ​​giving up school and work to travel, but never asked why they want to travel. In his world of ideas, all travel agencies' customer service, all tour guides should be psychologists, because "people should travel to gain comfort and strength and be healed by a strange world."

This is actually not a very fresh remark. I have seen too many people. When I go to two countries in a year, I still talk bored and my mind is stiff. Too many people take a train or plane for more than a dozen hours, line up for a three-hour selfie before the local landmarks, and share it with friends to show off. Too many people, excited before the departure, but after the arrival of the destination, the mood plummeted, eat instant noodles in the hotel, change places to continue to live. And how can these change people, how can they bring strength?

You said that you want to go to the Pyramid Museum in the Louvre and see the paintings of Da Vinci, Van Gogh, and Picasso. How much do you know about European art? You said, you want to go to the Potala Palace to turn the prayer wheel. However, you don’t have any beliefs. Do you think that when you go to Tibet, you will really be baptized by the soul? You may say: I have worked over the course of the day for so many days, and I have not received any money. I have to go through so many rules when I go out for a trip. The restrictions, but also you have to pour cold water, please, I just want to go out and go, do not rise to the level of philosophy.

Travel is really an idea that will make everyone excited. I spent two years of savings to Japan, Thailand and Khmer. I got up in the middle of the night to grab AirAsia's cheap airfare. I was upset about the success of the visa. I spent an hour studying whether a hotel is worth booking, watching the Raiders, changing foreign currency, learning foreign languages, listing the shopping list for others, and starting the overdraft of credit cards. Scorpio, I remembered that I experienced so many trivial things, I really admire my own arrogance, and I am still tired of being sinned again and again.

When everything was done, after I went to Japan and Thailand, I was paralyzed. All those places that have been described as fairyland on the Internet are full of people, and they can hear Chinese shouting almost every minute.

This is not my own experience. I also followed the tour group to Europe, took the bus, went to sleep, got off the camera, and played with the strangers in the hotel at midnight. There is absolutely no place to remember. Yes, I saw the Louvre, I saw the Mona Lisa, but what did I get? I don't know. I asked a lot of peers, they said that the biggest achievement is to complete the purchase list that the family gave them.

Of course, travel should be full of surprises. It is like life. We can never live according to the established life route. If we can really adapt to the changing journey, then why can't we accept the ups and downs in life? If we like these unknowns, why should we be cautious in life, step by step, trying to control everything?

Don't deceive yourself, travel is not a panacea, especially for those who travel the same way, they bring only more damage. Today's Hangzhou is raining, I can't go out, reading and writing in the room, listening to music, training meditation; in fact, sometimes, I think this kind of life can bring me more than the same, boring travel. help. Of course, what I am opposed to is the boring travel.

If you live in Hangzhou, have you really visited every exhibition hall in Hangzhou? Have you really seen every original trace of Su Dongpo? Can you read the deep meaning behind Su Dongpo's ink and ink? You will go to Hangzhou collection. Are you going to sit down and chat with the old people born in the Republic of China in the alleys of the children's lanes? Will you go to the bars and coffee bars of Nanshan Road to chat with strangers? Will you write big characters on the Wushan Square with the old people in the morning exercise? Will you wake up in the morning and ride around the West Lake that has not yet awakened? You can actually do a lot, but you are not lonely at all.

If you are going out, can you customize a route that suits you best? Can you refuse a punch-in camera? Can you read more about the local culture and history before you leave? Can you find some like-minded travel companions? Can you leave all your worries behind you, can you devote all your inner thoughts to the unknown exploration? Really, this is a meaningful trip.
