What are the pros and cons of travel trains. Advantages and disadvantages of independent travel. High degree of security

Independent travel saves funds and open the country in a new way. But can create and inconvenience.

Here we will talk about how to organize independent travels, the Ase highways, kauverterfing and other things that will help plan a trip, find cheap or complimentary accommodation and transport, find a common language with foreigners, find a job or interesting leisure in someone else's country.

Although the organization of independent travel will need a little longer and effort than to order a tourist trip, it has undeniable advantages.

Firstly, Such a journey can be quite budget, which is very relevant today. However, using hitchhiking, caratsurfing, hospitality local residents, with your knowledge, embarrassing bold ideas, they conducted an unforgettable time.

Secondly, Traveling yourself, you see much more than running with a guide and a crowd of tourists from the bus to the cathedral, from the Cathedral in the museum ... Thus you can see the country or the city from the inside, to feel the atmosphere, understand the inhabitants.

In a word, you will see a real situation, and not a slight picture, sometimes scary than in tourist guidebooks, and sometimes much more interesting and even attractive. And if you stop in another place, which you especially loved, at least for a few days, explore all its corners, streets and bazaars, theaters and cafes ...


Then the impression will become unsurpassed, and the memories are significantly longer and voluminous! After all, home you will bring not only photos and souvenirs, but also bright memories. About how night in St. Petersburg bridges divided, and you wandered until the morning, because they could not get to the shore.

About how in the Indian town of Varkala, you were accomplished by the sun, went into the ocean. About the classic Georgian feast with toasts and kebabs in the town of Akhaltsikhe, when the people with whom you met a few hours ago, became such relatives ... about that list I can continue for a very long time, and for this I do not need to view photos . It is only worth remembering some journey, and the memories are rummaged.

Thirdly, in free wanders you choose where and how much to go, you can change something in the process, "hang" in another place for a long time, bypass some point of travel, planned in advance, or get into a new one that you do not They knew, and found out from local residents.

An independent trip is very flexible, and I have repeatedly used this advantage.

Of course, along with the advantages of independent travels have disadvantages..


FirstlyFor their preparation and in the process itself will require more effort and time. It is necessary to learn about the visa features of a country, "save" the Internet in search of cheap air tickets, etc. That is, it is necessary to make all the work that a travel company usually makes.

But then you will get at least two bonuses: save money and become an experienced travel organizer, and every time it will make it easier.

Among my acquaintances there are those who have turned the hobby to work. Now they lead groups of tourists to the Carpathians or the Caucasus, organize trips to festivals and in attractions.

Among them: Travels are stress, in someone else's country, you can get lost or become a victim of fraudsters, poison local food or water and the like.


And most importantly: you can never return home. And not because you will be kidnapped or killed (this can happen at home, like most of the unpleasant moments - theft or diseases), and because traveling can be so like that will become a way of life.

Often independent travel when you do not plan for all days to lie on the beach (although this option is possible!) - This is more work than rest. But the work is exciting and inspired!

Reasons for travel: disassemble everything "for" and "against"

Travels - the most pleasant way to develop, know the new and know yourself, to take stress, gain new skills, get acquainted with new people and cultures ... It seems that in the song of the Bremensky musicians, it's not for nothing that there is nothing in vain "there is nothing better ... ". We constantly tell you a lot of interesting things: we suggest, we advise you, inspire you, tell us about comfortable, show, but never talk about the cons of tourism. Let's figure out what advantages of tourism and what minuses (if there are such).

I want to travel: disadvantages

To be honest, I really tried to find at least the slightest cons of tourism, but could not. Well, what could be the shortcomings of travel, if you get the most important - harmony and happiness?

If we talk about possible infections that you can pick up, for example, in some kind of Africa River, then get ready. Experienced travelers will find out in advance what kind of vaccinations need and what are the threats.

Reader!
Tell me to garlic! What do you think: why do people travel independently?
Here I am asked about it in every interview. Tomorrow is invited to shoot a program where I will be as an expert independent tourismAnd my opponent will be the owner of a travel company. And I'm more than confident that again on the air will be questions from the series:
- And let's consider how much you will spend walking to Turkey savage and how much will pay money if you just buy a tour to Turkey?
….
Loose from me with this mercantile, money issues!
Causes why I travel yourself, the trip without helped - in another. But about this later ...
While we listen to the usual people writing on (forum independent travelers):

(I am drawn from the section Italy. We are talking about how to go to Italy: buy a tour in the agency or go on your own)

Travel unequivocally alone! And even choose should not be seduced by the price of 300-400 euros per person.
Now I organize myself a trip for June, considered the alignment on three adults, we are going for 6 days. The cost of the tour with this period in the 2nd half of June we have - from 22t.r. man, i.e. On three - this is 66t.r., considered its flight costs and accommodation - flight 20700r on three (from my city, Lufthansa, at a very convenient time), and accommodation - 21600 r for three, booked apartments. I planned excursions - as a result, it will come about something, only with the condition - that departure and arrival not in the early morning and no late at night, I live in the apartment in the center of Rome overlooking the Colosseum and in a three-bedroom apartment, Florence and Couple is planned Cities near. So the financial benefit may not be big, but pleasure and comfort is more than in a vacation voucher

i read the forum, apparently. Write avid travelers, I also really want to go to Italy yourself, but stops-ignorance of English language, how to move yourself to the stations of someone else's country? Then, the main Museum. Tourists of the IDC team without a queue, they give them headphones or they russian-speaking guideAnd how will you move around the museum yourself, not knowing anything, moreover. What have you ever read .. and I think that you have to raise many hours of queues for the cherished ticket, therefore. probably buy tours

The problem of queues in museums is resolved by preliminary booking, if there is a desire to listen to the tour, then you can always take a "tube" - audio guide. In each museum there is a map of movement, and most of the European museums are not so great. Transport is also not complicated, book tickets on the site, print, come in time to the train, sit down on booked and go. The controller will come - silently show him a reservation.
The advantages of self-journey are obvious. First, the route is developed only with your wishes, secondly, often the inspection of a city with a travel agency is simply formulated, the crowd is thrown onto the barricades - planted for 2 hours at best and you carry the marathon, photographing your backs of your groupers. There is little pleasure. In addition, you are taken by paid souvenir shops and restaurants that are not distinguished by any quality nor good price.

Now I will write about myself. About why I do not understand how you can ride rest abroad by buying a tour (group, individual, VIP)

How I began to travel myself

  1. Group tours

Do you think that I immediately travel yourself to yourself? No matter how:
The first trips abroad on business trips from 89 to 91 years ago: went to Guangjow's eaters, tried snails from the tray, studied eating chopsticks in folk restaurants outside the hotel ...
Then shrewd in the UAE: spending a minimum of time for the purchase of audi-video, took the car to the rental and rode around Sharjah and Dubai. As a result, drowned the jeep into the sea. And in the mid-90s there were first trips to rest on tour to Egypt and Turkey, and in the 97th year I went on a ticket to Thailand for the first time ... But in all these trips I was a white crow: coming into place, I did not go With everyone on excursions or shopping, and exchangeing a voucher on the hotel room - kept a bag with things there.

I was uninteresting group dives with aqualung - I found and made friends with an individual diving instructor.
I were uninteresting group bus tours On the show with tigers or snakes: I saw all this on the second day of stay in Thailand, taking a Tuk-Tuk and reaching the same show on my own
I was uninteresting a group campaign on Volking Street, as I already knew where Bar-Görles was sitting, and Lady-battles were spread in which bars. And I will say more - then I turned to me as a man's half of my tour of the group ...

The key phrase (if noticed) here: I am not interested in being in a group and follow not me invested program.
Conclusion: Group tour package for me disappears. If you feel that everything is Basta! - Tired of walking a building ... - Then we turn to parts two

  1. Individual tours
  • But there is also individual tours!, - Tourist business professionals say.
    But here, 15 years ago, the following happened: the Internet appeared in my life. A window appeared, I would even say the round in the world of information.

Answer me:
- How can a stranger can understand what I want from the planned journey if I myself do not always know it?
- How to explain that I want Lena or Sasha, who get an average salary and further free advertising tour, organized by a travel agency from Bali, did not see Bali?
Tell me, why do I need an intermediary between me and the tool that I myself use well? In addition, for the services of the collector in the face of Lena or Sasha, I will also have to pay ... Not to mention that communication with people who do not guess their limited horizons for me torture.

  • What instruments appeared with the advent of the Internet? Not thick, but it was: Exedia (airline tickets), English-speaking tourist forums (Question-answer), Buking.kom (Hotels)
    Naturally, using these tools for the past 13 years, I chose the most convenient, reliable. Now this toolkit is available to all visitors to my forum of independent tourists: ||| Booking Hotels, villas and apartments worldwide without prepayment ||| |||
    Worries the visa question? I wrote articles to help those who will receive visas on their own. It is also called here and how to get a visa of the United States or Schengen, as well as check if the visa of the country is needed where you are going.

I do not know the language. I am uncomfortable in an unfamiliar country without supporting a guide or responsible from travel agency

  1. There are guidebooks in Russian
  • Good: There are tools. What about there, in an unfamiliar country? Who will meet, who will shake straw? - many scares the language barrier.
    There is no language, there is no understanding and feel like a child who has lost in the supermarket. I repent - I still do not know English badly, and from other languages \u200b\u200bI know a couple of phrases. And nothing is alive. In addition, Schidspglodka-helper appeared in Russian - these are Lonely Planet guidebooks in Russian. I recommend these guidebooks, as they are well structured, in them good maps, examples of routes and transport information. They will help you in preparing for an independent journey.
  1. There is a Viness Forum - the largest community of independent travelers
  • To help you - the largest forum of independent travelers in the world. Just do not strive immediately ask questions there. Do not hurry - read the section on the country you are interested in - it is structured on questions, discussion of routes, visa issues, transport, reviews about the country, Additional Information (Restaurants, shopping, security). Use the search and already when your questions are formed to specific - ask them by creating your own topic with a clear headline.

Why independent travel - kayf

Preparation for independent travel is essentially the beginning of your adventure. You get acquainted with the country virtually, but soon the acquaintance will take place. On the Vintsky Forum you will learn about such subtleties that you will not say any Lena, nor Sasha from travel agency. You will save yourself from excess spending and loss. You will meet S. interesting peopleFinally - possible fellow travelers in your first independent travel.

***** And finally the main thing:

Going to travel yourself, you will feel such freedom from which you can never refuse.
I guarantee you ...)))

We know that it is very interesting to travel, you can see the most beautiful corners of our planet, to get acquainted with another culture. But besides this, traveling us is taught a lot, traveling, we can get skills that use us not only in everyday life, but also in your career. Of course, I do not mean two-week holidays on a deck chair on a tropical island. We are talking about traveling around the world, cities and countries for a longer time.

1. Social and communicative skills

Traveling, we constantly actively communicate with different people. Communication plays a huge role in the social life of a person in his career. If suddenly you stayed without cash far away from the nearest ATM, got lost in an unfamiliar city, you can always ask for the surrounding help, and therefore find a way to explain to them and resolve it.

2. Hardening from stress

During travel, people often face different problems, traveling help a person get out of the comfort zone and look at life under a different angle. If you find yourself in a difficult situation in an unfamiliar country, let's say, lost your passport and do not know the local language, you will not have time to hide and cry, you will need to calm down and think next steps. So travel teach a person to fight stress and overcome problems.

3. Self-organizing and planning

Inorganizedness can "get out sideline" in the professional sphere of any person. You can even lose work. Organized people who are accustomed to plan their time in advance can protect themselves from many unpleasant situations. If you go to big AdventureYou will have a lot to plan, you will need to think and make decisions, to compile a budget. Travel teach a person organization and planning - skills, which are simply indispensable in ordinary life.


4. Order of its time

I'm just amazed by the number of useful skills and skills that can be obtained by traveling. If you are going to journey throughout your life, you think literally every minute of your adventures. Perhaps you do not imagine vacation and rest, you want, on the contrary, let go of the situation and not control anything. Then the beach chaise lounge for two weeks - for you. If you want to learn a lot of new things and acquire valuable skills - then plan your time so that in one day to visit so many places as your own energy will allow you. Travels allow you to allocate priority goals and plan your own time.

5. Interaction with other people

This does not apply to those who travel alone. But fun and safer to travel with a friend or pleasant company, where big role Will play interaction with them, teamwork.

6. Ability to make a decision

Initially, the planning of a long trip is the adoption of an additional serious decision. Here are many options for the route, the places you want to visit how to get to one other attractions or settlementHow long will you be in a particular city, and so on. Everything needs to be thought out and solve in advance.

7. Self-perception and implementation

It will sound trite, but a person can really "find himself" traveling. This is cliché, but we must not forget that the cliché is born from the facts. During travel, there is time to think about many things and take important decisions relating to your own life, listen to yourself, and finally "find your way." Traveling, a person understands what self-imminent and self-awareness is, and, as a rule, much better understand what he wants.

In addition to the listed, the journey can teach you to quickly solve problems, develops creative thinking and visualization, adapts to different situations, and, of course, you can learn a foreign language. Did you travel "in serious"? What did the journey taught you? Write in the comments!

Travel is great! And if you have your own car, then huge horizons open for you. At least, you will definitely explore your country and, perhaps, the countries of the neighboring countries. But is it worth traveling by car? To understand this, learn all the features of such a trip.

Pros and cons

To make a final decision, learn all the advantages and disadvantages of automotive travel. To begin with, we list the advantages:

  • The indisputable advantage of self-journey by car is complete freedom. And this means that he seeing something interesting on his way or learning about some an unusual placeYou can easily deviate from the course or stay a little.
  • The second plus is a relatively low cost of a trip. If the number of passengers is equal to the number seating Car, then you will save exactly, because train tickets and especially on the aircraft are much more expensive.
  • Another plus is mobility. You will be able to come to the store at any time, in the pharmacy or another place and purchase everything you need. On a trip by train, such an opportunity is unlikely to introduce.
  • You will be able to take an almost unlimited amount of baggage (it will only be limited by the capacity of the trunk), and at the same time it will not have to worry due to exceeding the mass.
  • Traveling by car is interesting and fun! Other people will not interfere with you, which means that you can fully relax and keep living and interesting communication.
  • The relative advantage can be called energy savings. Sometimes the car's trip is less long than, for example, a train ride.

Now list the minuses:

  • It is not very comfortable and sometimes tiring. And it is especially easy to have a driver who spends the clock for the wheel and is forced to constantly monitor the road, which is very difficult. But the passengers are also not too convenient, since if the car is the usual passenger and not the most spacious, then they will have to stay in one pose for a long time. In addition, it is not always possible to visit the toilet (for example, while driving on the highway).
  • The car is an extremely complex mechanism with a multitude of details, which can be out of order at any time. And if this happens on an unexploded highway, then waiting for help will be simply nowhere. And because of this, you can lose weight of time and strength.
  • Trips by car are always associated with a certain risk. First, you can get into an accident (and not necessarily in its fault). Secondly, fraudsters and criminals worry on the roads, and auto-travelers are relatively light prey. Thirdly, not the most pleasant meeting with the staff of the traffic police.
  • And finally, you will have to look for a safe and guarded place for your car. Travelers are most often travelers, so it's better to drive the car to the guarded parking lot. But if it is located far from the place of residence, then it is not very convenient. In addition, parking in specially designated places can be quite expensive.

Planning a trip

If you go on a trip by car, plan it in advance. There are some important moments Preparation:

  1. Be sure to prepare your car to travel. Complete technical inspection, replace all old details. Such measures will help minimize the risk of unexpected breakdowns and troubles. Do not rely on yourself and conduct diagnostics yourself, trust it by a professional. Only an experienced master will be able to notice almost invisible, but at the same time quite serious defects.
  2. Make a route. Take the card and pave the road. And it is best to use a navigator or a special application on a mobile device. It is more convenient and reliably.
  3. Be sure to learn the features of the area in which you go. This will allow you to take everything you need and avoid unpleasant surprises.
  4. Examine weather conditions, find out the forecasts.
  5. The next step is to plan budget. Calculate all the main and unforeseen spending that may arise on the road: for food and drinks, gasoline, on hotel rooms (If you decide to relax in the way).
  6. Then it is worth providing temporary calculations. Find out how much about time you will spend on the way. To do this, determine the distance you need to overcome, and divide it on middle speed (It is better to take the minimum values \u200b\u200bto have a temporary reserve).
  7. Make a list of things you want to take with you.

What to take in a car trip?

So what to take with you? The most important:

  1. Documents: Passports, insurance polishes, as well as documents for the car (technical passport, car insurance policy, driver's license, certificate of car registration, technical inspection coupon).
  2. Fire extinguisher, cable, emergency sign. These items must be in any car.
  3. Spare wheel.
  4. Lamp.
  5. Petrol. Be sure to take a canister with a gasoline, because it can end up at the most inopportune moment (and refueling stations, for example, on the track may not be).

  7. Pillows. They will make a trip more comfortable. You can purchase special car pillows. You can also capture and blankets.

  11. Items and personal hygiene products (toothpaste and brushes, toilet paper, wet antibacterial napkins).
  12. Car spare parts and tools. Take only those details that are the most "weak" and often subjected to breakdowns in your car.
  13. If you are traveling with a child, take everything you need for him: diapers, wet wipes, cream, baby food, bottle or rock, spoon, nipple, replaceable clothes, toys, and so on.
  14. Navigator. He will indicate the right path and help not get off the route.
  15. The DVR can help in controversial situations arising on the road.
  16. If the journey is long, and you plan to stop off the hotel or hotels, take hiking accessories: a tent, folding table and chairs, dishes.
  17. Phone and charger.
  18. Money.

  • Do not go on a trip if you are not confident or in your car.
  • It is desirable to have two drivers. They will be able to replace each other and relax from the road.
  • Tune in to positive, stay in a good mood.
  • Do not go to bad weather.

Let the journey on the car be pleasant, safe, interesting and memorable. Good luck to you!
