Recently, many friends are very interested in the term "travel enthusiast" and are all over the place trying to figure out how to join this underground organization to experience the most fashionable thing nowadays. However, they don't know where to start. Those who have travel enthusiast friends are better off, at least someone can introduce them into the circle. But those without such friends find it difficult to find a direction. Therefore, I wrote such an introductory manual to guide everyone on how to join the ranks of travel enthusiasts. Of course, there are also some shortcomings, and I welcome corrections from experienced travel enthusiasts. If you want to join this group, first you need to know what a travel enthusiast is. Otherwise, when the experienced ones ask you, and you can't answer, that would be embarrassing. Hey!
Travel enthusiasts, or simply "travel": Initially spread from the Sina Travel Forum, it is a homophone of the character "travel" in tourism. It generally refers to friends who participate in tourism, especially self-guided tours. These friends call each other travel enthusiasts. The Sina Travel Forum was also renamed as the Sina Travel Enthusiasts Forum. Thus, the Sina Travel Enthusiasts Forum became the pioneer of domestic travel enthusiast forums.
What is outdoor?
Outdoor generally refers to stepping outside your door, which means any activity outside the home. However, we refer to a narrower definition of outdoor activities, such as hiking, camping, crossing, rock climbing, bungee jumping, rafting, surfing, paragliding, water skiing, ice climbing, orienteering, suburban trips, skiing, diving, grass sliding, mountain bike descending, off-road mountain biking, hot air ballooning, stream tracing, team building exercises, and flying ziplines. Now you should understand a bit more, right? Let's delve deeper into what outdoor entails. Outdoor activities usually have the following characteristics:
Most outdoor activities carry an element of adventure, belonging to extreme or semi-extreme sports, with great challenges and excitement.
Embracing nature and challenging oneself, outdoor activities can cultivate personal perseverance, teamwork spirit, and improve wilderness survival skills. They are highly favored by young people. Outdoor sports are increasingly capturing people's attention and becoming a focal point. Additionally, due to China's geographical advantages, it possesses excellent natural resources, providing a vast space for outdoor sports.
What equipment is needed for outdoor activities?
Outdoor activities cannot do without equipment. Generally speaking, outdoor equipment can be divided into two aspects: basic equipment such as tents, backpacks, sleeping bags, clothing, shoes, whistles, maps, compasses, headlamps (including spare bulbs and batteries), backup food, extra clothes, sunglasses, knives, fire starters, and first-aid kits. The second type includes specialized equipment required for different activities, such as satellite locators for exploration teams, ice picks for climbing glaciers, ropes for mountaineering, skis for skiing, and diving gear for underwater sports.
Another important aspect is the travel enthusiast forum, where travel enthusiasts exchange ideas online, announce travel plans, and post trivial content when bored. Currently, well-known domestic travel forums include Beijing Lvye and Shenzhen Mofang. If you want to learn more, you can visit the following website, which has hundreds of relevant entries.
After reading the above introduction, aren't you more interested in outdoor activities? However, you are not yet a travel enthusiast. To become a qualified one, first arm yourself with knowledge by reading more about outdoor activities. You can find plenty of articles on websites like the China Outdoor Materials Network, or you can visit other club websites or travel forums to learn more.
The final step is to participate in events posted by experienced travel enthusiasts on travel forums. However, it is best to first join two or three club-organized activities to gain some practice. Then you will experience: carrying heavy backpacks for mountain hikes and overnight camping, water motorcycles and surfing sports allowing you to fully experience the thrill of chasing wind and waves under blue skies and clear waters; white-water rafting, kayaking, and river rafting letting you experience the exhilaration of rapid descents and turbulent waters; bungee jumping and rock climbing making you feel the excitement of "leaping against gravity and soaring straight down"; in the vast and profound, beautiful yet perilous natural training ground of mountains, we discard the comfort and laziness brought by modern civilization, gaining the ability to coexist with nature and fully experiencing the joy of returning to our human nature and testing our wisdom and strength.
