携心远行:你意想不到的"穷游小妙招"

Traveling is a priority for many people during the National Day holiday, and college students are no exception. But with landmarks swamped with tourists, and transportation and accommodation costs even higher during Golden Week, how to travel on a budget is a tricky question.
对于许多人而言，在过去的国庆假期里，旅行是头等大事，而大学生们自然也不例外。但是鉴于黄金周各大景点人山人海，交通、住宿费用水涨船高，如何“穷游”成为一个棘手的问题。

Earn on the trip
边旅行边赚钱

For some, asking their parents for travel money is outdated. Saving up on your own is the trend now. But what about earning money on the trip?
对于一些人而言，“啃老旅行”已经OUT了。时下最IN的是自助游。但边旅行边赚钱这种方式，你觉得如何？

Chen Yirong, 22, a senior majoring in journalism at Shantou University, had a great idea to solve her budgeting problem.
22岁的陈一荣（音译）是汕头大学新闻系的大四学生。她想到了一个解决经费问题的好主意。

Chen traveled from Shantou to Nanjing during the holiday. Before her departure, she offered to write an article about her trip for the school newspaper when she came back.
国庆假期，陈一荣离开汕头，到南京旅行。出发前，她主动要求回来后为校报撰写一篇游记。

“I was paid for the story and the photos I submitted. Even if it’s just a small sum of money, it eases part of the pressure of financing the trip,” says Chen.
陈一荣说：“我有偿提供文章和图片。尽管稿费不多，但这笔钱可以缓解一下出行的经济压力。”

Another option is providing news stories to local newspapers. “One of my classmates took a bus from Shantou to Xiamen. After being stuck in traffic for several hours, she called a local newspaper to inform them of the situation and got 50 yuan as a reward,” says Chen.
还有一个方法是为当地报纸提供新闻素材。陈一荣说：“我有一个同学乘汽车从汕头到厦门。她在路上被堵了好几个小时，后来打电话将该情况告知了当地一家报纸，得到了50元报酬。”
