There are really many stubborn people who love to travel.
I have a few good friends who have been on the road all year round. Their greatest fun is to challenge gold, platinum and diamonds year after year. What we are talking about here is not online games, but the membership level of major hotel groups and airlines. The higher the level, the more VIP privileges you can enjoy.
Take the high-level members of some hotels as an example. As long as you book, you can upgrade to a bigger and better suite. All hotels hold you in their hands and ask about your well-being, allowing you to delay check-out and eat and drink at the executive lounge. The same is true for airlines. The higher the level, the more comprehensive the etiquette you have. In addition to being able to enter the VIP lounge, there are also people in the cabin to say hello to you, deliver newspapers and drinks. If there is a delay or cancellation, when many people are still in a bad mood at the boarding gate, their top members have already been given priority change or properly placed.
While you are itchy, you may want to know:
Are you tired if you stubbornly choose this way of travel?
To be honest, if it is not for work and business trips, it is all supported by love, it is too tiring. To upgrade, even if it is just a gold card, you have to sleep in a hotel of the same brand for dozens of nights within a year. If you sleep more, you will have platinum or diamonds. Is this the end? It's early, and there are lifelong gold cards and lifelong platinum cards waiting to be cleared and unlocked. If you don’t spend tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands, you really can’t relegate. What if I didn’t sleep enough this year? Sorry, you may be reduced to the silver card next year, the rules are both simple and clear.
Nevertheless, this stubborn traveler still enjoys it. They are active in their frequent visitor circles, and share a lot of experiences with our friends circles. Their words and pictures all reveal their fascination with this way of travel. Like my friend who is full of all kinds of black credit cards in Air China Platinum, SPG Lifetime Gold, and the whole wallet are filled with all kinds of black credit cards. Every time I enjoy sharing with us, how great the upgraded Tokyo suite is, how warm the hotel manager's welcome letter is, how hard the exclusive butler is - "I want the location of the Michelin restaurant temporarily, and he also booked it for me!"
Seeing this, I believe that you, like me, will want to reply to him, but at the same time, I was a little touched by his stubbornness:
It seems that this guy really likes it!
These persistences that seem a bit paranoid to outsiders have really won him a more beautiful scenery and a better experience. For them, there is only one reason:
sleeping in the suite, it is your own pleasure, not others.
Some people have been stubbornly on the road, while others have learned when to stop. Some beautiful scenery that is worth stopping, made them step on the brakes and slow down their life.
Before chatting with some friends who live abroad, they wrote their stories and experiences in the official account, and the backstage was full of envy and wail. However, more than a year has passed, and most of us are still in the city from 9 to 8, so we can only watch their WeChat to travel. The most beautiful hostess of Palau Inn is the same, and she still takes her lovely daughter to wander around the world; and after saying goodbye to the crazy nightclub tour life, the cool electronic band singer couple still enjoys their life in the leisurely Chiang Mai. I remember that day in their inn, the male host made tea and confessed to me,
"I rarely touched electronic music anymore. At the front desk of the inn, the most common thing I play is Thai pop songs from the 1980s. The tune and singing style are particularly retro, but surprisingly harmonious. Now my wife and I are in a state, few people can guess our past. I have traveled to 35 cities and 8 other countries in China. Maybe you may have seen our performances in a nightclub in a certain city. But now I feel that the lives of the inn owner and the proprietress are more present."
When they decided to come to Chiang Mai to change their lifestyle, there were not so many Chinese inns and tourists.So, they live broadcast the process of the inn from site selection to decoration, and then to the birth of each guest room of different styles. After putting down the guitar, piano and drum set, the male owner explored the woodworking skills and was responsible for the decoration and design in every detail. The hostess studied handmade soap and practiced Muay Thai.
The vestibule pool at the entrance of their inn is my favorite part. The guests walked into the house on the winding steps in the water. The koi swam at your feet, accompanied by black and white stones, and the Tai Chi Feng Shui is full of charm.
Recently, I read a lot of similar, interesting, stubborn and aesthetic stories in a magazine. Each story is told by the author himself, submitted by the author, and then collected and published.
If you also have the dream of building an inn, you can first check out a husband, the executive director of the reading letter program " See the Words Like Face ", how to build his own residence and studio in the suburbs of Beijing. Starting from scratch, drawing plans, building wall paint, every soil, stone, grass and wood to realize the cool cement building you imagine. He even dug a small river and flowed around the house, "A river of company will not be alone when you are alone."
A buddy named Frey, with the care and curiosity of a generation of young (male) audiences, flew to Japan to interview the famous male actor Ken Shimizu, participated in the handshake meeting of Hatano Yui, and planned a special article "This Tokyo is not too hot." He asked Ken Shimizu: "What would you do if his wife and children ask you to retire?"
. The urge to leave immediately can also be found in a boy who was moved by "The God of Sushi" and resigned to work as an apprentice in a Japanese restaurant. Another young mother, since her child was over one year old, insisted on taking her children abroad every year, from islands to cities, from flying to self-driving. She believes that children who have seen the world will be stronger; there is also a Shanghai girl who drove to Finland, who felt like the friend who loves to post road trip photos around us. Oh my God, when did she drive all the Eurasian continents?
These ups and downs, their protagonists all have an overlapping identity:
The real MINI CLUBMAN owner.
They took and wrote it themselves, and this journal called "CLUBMAN" is now presented to you. It's the second issue now.
I remembered a friend who is also a MINI car owner and also loves writing. After asking, she also submitted her experience to this issue of the magazine with the theme of "Stubbornness and Aesthetics", and shared the story of her and her husband resolutely leaving Beijing and starting a new life in Shenzhen. In her words, MINI is a signal and beginning of her new life. While stubbornly pursuing freedom and quality of life, she also discovers more fun and beauty.
This magazine full of stories comes from a group of interesting people, and is not stingy to share their interesting things with anyone. Click the picture below to receive the latest issue of "CLUBMAN" with free shipping for free. There is no limit on the number, let’s read it together.
