It has been almost 3 months ago since I left home and started traveling. The past months I experienced traveling around Asia in a different way, by actually staying at local people’s houses and enjoy the local food they eat I was able to taste their culture in a different way and started to see things in a different perspective. Traveling is nice but studying is also something that has to be done will I be able to pass my examinations in June.
The first of April I will be coming home and no this is no April fool’s joke!

Traveling in China is a great thing to do, every visit is unique. China is an ever changing country full of surprises and new things to discover. It is true traveling is an expensive hobby but it can be affordable by saving money on big expenses such as transportation and accommodation costs. Trying to travel on a low budget has its ups and downs but it worth trying if you don’t mind sharing a room with 6 other people, travel by train or bus and accept to eat local food only.
Not able to speak the language and never fully able to understand the Chinese culture the best way to experience the local culture is by; eating local food, travel by foot or bus and stay at local people’s houses. Besides saving money you will come into contact with local people, people living their daily. While traveling on a low budget I’ve met a lot more people than I usually would have simply because not all people have enough money to eat at (expensive) restaurants and take the taxi.

I am the one of 14 Chinese people with you to Meili Mountain tour. Although the tour was a little bit upset because of sad weather, I still was very happy. It's so good to know a lot of people on the way, and so nice to know the western part of China. Leaving my homecountry for a long time, it's so fun to discover the places that I never touch in my life. We are not lucky enough to unveil the beauty of Meili mountain, next time, might be!
