If you don’t have good English, you can’t travel around the world? Can't travel without savings? If you are not in sports, you can’t climb, dive, or run a marathon?
Zhang Zhijun, a beautiful interior designer born in the 1980s in Hangzhou, gave answers to these three questions using her story.
was once the last sports scum in the class,
Now, hiking, climbing snow mountains, running marathons,
Zhang Zhijun, born in 1984, is an interior designer in Hangzhou. She looks like a beautiful girl with a literary style.
Chapter Zhijun graduated from Zhejiang University of Science and Technology . Since 2005, he has fallen in love with long-distance travel alone backpacking. "I have traveled to all provinces in China. started traveling abroad in 2009, and now I have been to more than 60 countries and more than 300 cities. " Zhang Zhijun told reporters that in her heart, she is a person who loves tossing.
Climb the top of the snow-capped mountains, dive into the deep sea, run marathons, ride and hike in the unmanned land... Zhang Zhijun can be said to have "torn" life to the extreme.
When the reporter contacted this girl who loved to mess around, she was on the high-speed rail to Changsha. "Take a couple of days on weekends to go to Changsha to play," said Zhang Zhijun. "The transportation is convenient now, and I will come back the next day. Life is about to make trouble." On the New Year's Day holiday not long ago, she just went to Changbai Mountain with her friends to celebrate the New Year's Eve by skiing.
"Many people say they don't have time to go out and play, and the time is actually squeezed out. Annual leave, adjustment of holidays, and even two days on weekends are enough to take a trip that you can go on. Of course, there are also some leave, after all, that's what you want to do, and you have to bear the overtime work later." Zhang Zhijun said that sometimes she chats with her friends and talks about a place that is very beautiful, not very far away, so they set off directly at that time.
Hiking, snow-capped mountains, running marathons... No one would have thought that Zhang Zhijun was a "sports scumbag" in the past. "Since childhood, I have never passed the sports class, and I have always been the last in the class."
During the summer vacation of junior high school, Zhang Zhijun went to collect folk songs with her classmates, which made her interest in hiking since then.
"I have good endurance. After walking a lot, I can even run a marathon, but I don't ask for results and only complete it." Beijing Marathon , Hangzhou Marathon , Shanghai Marathon ... have all been run by this once "sports scum". "There is no miracle? Only hard work will lead to results. Many people are talking about the impossible. In fact, the problem is that they have never started."
Take a ride and do sofa guest
Footprints travel to more than 60 countries around the world
Only with money can you travel around the world?
Zhang Zhijun said: "You can travel around the world when sleeping on the sofa. There are no strangers in my world."
"I am actually a very grassroots traveler, and most of the time I travel poorly." Zhang Zhijun told reporters, "Every time I hike or take a taxi, I should make a good strategy. Safety is very important."
In 2011, Zhang Zhijun walked more than 1,000 kilometers from Lhasa to Alibaba for 20 days, and only spent about 800 yuan. "At that time, I was in Lazi and lived in a guesthouse of 15 yuan per person."
Almost all the way were taking a car. "The first time I took a ride in my life was a Tibetan tractor. At that time, I saw a tractor driven by a Tibetan couple parked on the side of the road. I went up and asked and found that they couldn't understand Chinese. I pointed to the direction of 219 National Highway , and explained for a long time before they finally understood what I mean."
went to more than 60 countries. Zhang Zhijun said that language is not a problem.
"My English is not good, but who knows the language of the whole world?" Zhang Zhijun said, "Many times I don't understand what people are saying. Communication really basically depends on dancing and gestures. The only international language I am proficient in is sweet smile, walking with a smile! I will carry a notebook with me and write the place I want to go on in advance in the local text, and show it to the locals and drivers when needed."
is used to recording the itinerary with words and pictures, and Zhang Zhijun also published the book "Clean Walking in the Sun".In her book, she proposed the concept of "cleaning": " should not add too much to your own journey, do not for fame and fortune, refuse affair, practice and think all the way, this is clearing. "
"Count it, in 2017, I actually went to ten countries including Spain, Morocco, Finland, Greece, etc., and climbed to Haba Snow Mountain at an altitude of 5,396 meters, and obtained the diver's certificate in international open waters..." Zhang Zhijun, who had been walking, said, "It's not too late to start. If I can, you can do it too."
