Some travellers have found that they always spend much more than they planned. Here is how it happens:

1Preparing too much before travelling

Some people, especially women travellers, like to travel as if starting a new life. Several weeks before the trip, they would be busy shopping for new dresses, better sunglasses and so on. They always like to fill their travelling bags with all fashionable things. Just travelling? Attending a fashion show more like it. They only care more about their appearance (外表) than the views they see during the trip.

2Following other travellers blindly (盲目地)

They can’t stop shopping for objects they would never really buy and would certainly never use. For example, we can find a group of travellers “getting ahead” to buy “Christmas” presents even in summer.

3Buying the same thing that they have left at home

They don’t remember to bring things like trainers, cool bags, or beach towels. The price of the towels (毛巾) near beaches is very high. They spend a lot on those things. However, plenty of new towels are sleeping in their bathroom at home.
