How do college students save money for self-help tours?

I started traveling alone when I was 14 years old, and developed many super-economical accommodation methods. I provide some practical ideas for college students to make money from two aspects: open source and throttling.

Save living expenses+lucky money

For most students, this is the most realistic way, after all, most of the economic sources of college students are living expenses. You can list your goals first. What time? Where do you want to play? How much does it cost? For example, I plan to go to Yunnan for a month in winter vacation, and I need 3000 yuan. Then I will take out 500 yuan of living expenses every month as my travel fund, and I won't move this money anyway. With limited funds, if we want to accomplish one thing, we have to give up other things.

Nowadays, college students have a strong sense of independence, but to some extent, we are still relying on our parents. I also realized the economic freedom of travel from relying on the support of my parents to groping for money.

I am not an obedient child, so it is difficult to save living expenses (average family living expenses 1500). If I want to live for a long time, I can only earn more money by myself, and most of the travel expenses come from this.

Technical money, not physical money.

1 Travel Shooting/Outdoor Tour Leader

Recommend all those who are interested in photography to study hard! Skill combination is really a king's bullet, and tourism+photography is a big demand in the market now. You can earn 1000+ by taking photos in Xishuangbanna and the inn in summer, and earn the return fee.

Communicate with the innkeeper in advance and take photos in proportion, and the boss will share my photos with local resources. The specific pricing depends on the personal photography level and the average market price. I didn't ask for a high price, but it was lower than the average market price. In addition, the photography level is not bad, and I have received up to four orders a day.

In popular tourist cities, especially places where ethnic minorities take photos, such as Xishuangbanna and Fenghuang Ancient City this year, you should take the initiative to contact your boss when you take photos with local travel agencies, homestays and photography agencies. You have the ability to take orders from the media, and you can plan your own routes and drive your own guests, so that your income will be higher and you can improve your skills.

Part-time dance teacher

When I was a child, I learned the China dance of 10, and I started to contact street dance in high school, so I usually take classes after school, which is recommended by my sister in the street dance club, and it costs several thousand yuan a month.

Actually, I won it myself. There are not a few good dancers. After being introduced by my senior and practicing hard before the audition, I became a substitute teacher. At the beginning, you need to help the head teacher prepare lessons. After that, you need to attend classes with your parents, prepare lesson plans in advance, use audio in class, teach yourself dance moves and tell students the details. Except that I don't have time to substitute classes at ordinary times, the rest will spend a lot of time preparing for the early stage, so I make reasonable arrangements every day.

Part-time tutor

This is also recommended by my senior. I just want to have a try. Because I have no experience in this field before, I don't expect to succeed. I still encourage you to try more. Don't lose money if you fail, just in case. The class fee for tutors in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai is 100-200. You can go to the big platform of BOSS direct employment and 58 city to find it.

Almost all the money I earn is invested in learning new skills and self-improvement. Recently, I bought a new camera myself. I have to say, economic independence is really cool.

While I am young and energetic, I really hope that everyone will go out for a walk and play during various holidays in my school days. Nothing more than more part-time jobs and more efforts! It is very important to explore the world and broaden our horizons when we need to improve ourselves most.
