Anda ingin berwisata bersama teman tapi tidak ada yang menemani? Tur bersama rombongan melalui agen wisata pun terdengar menyenangkan. Namun, artinya Anda akan bergabung dengan orang-orang yang sama sekali tidak dikenal. Meski tampaknya meragukan, berwisata dengan orang asing bisa menjadi pengalaman menarik. Baca dulu hal apa saja yang penting. 1. Berbaur Berbaur dengan orang lain kedengarannya gampang saja, tetapi mencoba berbaur dengan rekan seperjalanan berarti menerima keberadaan mereka. Justru itu kan tujuannya, supaya mengenal orang baru. Modal awalnya semudah bersikap ramah dan tidak sombong. 2. Menghargai Ruang Pribadi Masing-Masing Berwisata bersama tidak harus selalu berbarengan kemana-mana. Anda harus cukup hemat membaca situasi, kapan kira-kira rekan Anda ingin sendiri atau jalan bersama. Itu juga gunanya disediakan waktu bebas. Cukup permisi baik-baik sebelum melakukan kegiatan personal, supaya rekan Anda merasa dihargai. 3. Berbagi Jangan pelit untuk berbagi camilan, meminjamkan pengering rambut, atau patungan membeli makanan. Hal-hal yang masih wajar untuk dibagi. Yang penting adalah bagaimana Anda menunjukkan itikad baik. 4. Berpikiran Terbuka Dan Positif Ini sangat penting! Anda harus mau berpikiran terbuka melihat pengalaman baru dan segala yang Anda lihat di tempat-tempat baru, atau Anda dan teman di perjalanan akan berdebat selama liburan. Tetap berpikir positif terhadap rekan Anda. Berhati-hati tetap perlu, asal tidak berlebihan. 5. Jadi Diri Sendiri Tidak perlu berpura-pura, menjadi diri sendiri adalah pilihan terbaik. Orang asing yang Anda hadapi adalah rekan perjalanan selama beberapa hari, bahkan mungkin beberapa minggu. Tidak apa-apa memilah mana yang bisa diungkapkan dan yang tidak, namun jangan berpura-pura.

Manusia butuh istirahat, berlibur, supaya otak yang lelah bisa rileks dan berfungsi optimal lagi. Tapi… Anda sedang berusaha menekan pengeluaran. Bukan berarti harus menderita, bukan? Masih bisa kok pergi wisata dengan biaya rendah. 1. Off-Season Sangat penting untuk berwisata di luar musim liburan, ketika harga tiket atau pesawat tidak lebih tinggi. 2. Cari kerabat atau teman Jika ada kerabat atau teman dekat yang tinggal di kota atau Negara yang dituju, tanyakan padanya, apakah Anda bisa menginap di rumahnya atau tidak. Sebagai balas budi, Anda bisa membantu tuan rumah dengan membereskan kasur atau membantu menyiapkan makanan. 3. Alokasi dana Sejak awal, alokasikan dana dengan cermat dan saksama. Tiket pesawat atau kereta menjadi dana utama. Sisanya, pertimbangkan dengan cermat 4. Kurangi oleh-oleh Jangan mudah tergiur dengan godaan implusif berbelanja banyak barang, apalagi barang yang sebenarnya tidak terlalu penting. 5. Makan makanan lokal Harga makanan lokal biasanya lebih bersahabat, karena bahan-bahannya berasal langsung dari daerah itu. Hindari restoran atau tempat makan di lokasi wisata yang kebanyakan lebih mahal. Source : Majalah Tamasya - July 2014 | www.majalah-tamasya.com
