The last time I flew to China it was to get myself familiar with the country so I could figure out where to set up shop, so to speak. I’m a “digital nomad” and I like to travel to interesting places to live and work while living in a state of slow-travel semi-retirement.

Living in Asia is a way to live cheap if you’re working in one country earning a higher value currency and living in another locale spending a lower-value currency day-to-day. This is called geo-arbitrage, and it’s gaining in popularity.
I have now lived in China for a year and when I look back at all of the ways I’ve spent my hard earned money, I think one of the best ways I was able to save money was with the tour I purchased to kick off my new lifestyle.
Here are a handful of reasons people might love travelling on a tailor made China tours for 2016. These are the best reasons I could possibly think of that would be inspiring to others!
Why China tours are absolutely amazing!
- You save all sorts of money; I love saving money, which is the number one reason why I was incredibly impressed with my made-just-for-me China tour. First they let me choose all the places I wanted to visit, then they got me better deals than I was able to find on my own, and the whole process only took a few hours. A few hours! I wait longer than that to use the bathroom in any hostel.
- You save all sorts of time; Oh, time. Another thing we all need more of. When I booked my first China tour all I had to do was tell them where to go! I just literally said I’m thinking about x, y, and z and then before I knew it all of my planning was done.
- It was stress free; I have gotten really tired of the daily grind. I hate being late for boarding calls, spending more time at security check-ins, and rushing to drop off my baggage. I hate being a nervous wreck –and my China tour took away every opportunity to lose my mind and sit on my luggage crying in the middle of the airport.
- I never got lost. Once. Probably the biggest advantage with my custom China tour was the amount of organized travel I did. I didn’t sleep in or miss a train, I didn’t board the wrong bus, and I certainly got everywhere I wanted to go on time.
- I made friends; the best part of travel is having to absorb all sorts of new cultures, customs, and talk to people I hardly know. Love it. When I took a China tour everyone was so nice, it was like “we were all in it together”.
You clearly feel just like me if you’re reading this; you love eye-opening, inspiring travel. I don’t like to spend too much time looking for ways to get around –I just like care-free exploration.
Well, if you love to travel like a pro and have a really fin-filled time, then definitely book a custom made China tour. And it sure beats spending your life in front of a television and living with your parents forever. Traveling to Asia is way more rewarding.
