Tips on Avoiding Traveling Crowds

If your chosen destination is a hot tourist spot，you are likely to be bothered by masses of tourists，noise and long line ups at your intended site visits. At this point you might wonder why you ever left home. Here are some tips to avoid the crowds and the frustrations that might otherwise ruin your trip.

Book tickets in advance

1. Smart travelers can avoid the queue when visiting abroad-the London Eye， Britain's Houses of Parliament，Italy's Vatican Museums，and the Louvre in Paris. You can keep cool with online ticket sales.

Sign up for special tours.

Often special organizations get after-hours or behind-the-scenes access to famous places. You'll get a guided tour and beat the rush.2.But if large crowds routinely ruin your experience，spending a little extra cash will save your trip.

3.

For shorter lines，fewer people，and better opportunities to interact and enjoy the attraction，stop by during the week. In many cases，you'll have the place to yourself. Take it one step further，and head to museums，galleries or tourism hot spots after 2 pm.4.

Watch the weather

Some travelers often cancel their plans when there are reports of a storm on the approach. 5.By keeping an eye on weather broadcasts，brave souls can often score great last-minute deals or empty attractions.

A.Talk to people.

B.Visit during the week.

C.A note of caution-these tours can be costly.

D.Here are several ways to help you have a good trip.

E.However，sometimes they're not as bad as they sound.

When others get off the train to finally go home, Leonie Muller stays behind. That's because she is already home: The train is her apartment, and she says she likes it that way. The German college student gave up her apartment in spring. "It all started with a quarrel I had with my landlord," Muller told The Washington Post via e-mail. "I immediately decided I didn't want to live there anymore and then I realized: Actually, l didn't want to live anywhere anymore."

Instead, she bought a subscription(會員費)that allows her to board every train in the country for free. Now, Muller washes her hair in the train bathroom and writes her college papers while traveling at a speed of up to 190 mph. She says that she enjoys the freedom since she gave up her apartment.

adventure is waiting just around the corner一provided that you want to find it."

Muller frequently travels late at night, although she tries to sleep at the apartments of relatives or friends. Often, she is accommodated by her boyfriend, her mother or grandmother.

"Most of my friends really like the idea, although some consider it to be quite adventurous. Others, however, have reacted more negatively. They feel offended by the fact that I question the ordinary way of life and living."

I walked up to the counter.Behind it was a lady with glasses on the tip of her nose and gray hair on her head.

"Excuse me," I said.She looked up."You're that Clements kid," she said."I'm Miss Bee.Come closer and let me get a look at you." She pushed her glasses up her nose."I can describe you to the police if something goes missing from the store."

"I'm not a thief!" I was shocked.I was seven,too young to be a thief!

"From what I can see,you're not much of anything.But I can tell you've got potential." She went back to reading her newspaper.

"I need to get these."I said,holding up my list."So? Go get them."Miss Bee pointed to a sign on the screen door. "I'm not your servant,so I suggest you get yourself a basket and start filling."
