While most international travel is still off the cards, that doesn’t mean you’re destined to be a couch potato all summer. After all, being an expat doesn’t mean you’re confined to exploring only the fine things our fair city has to offer. One needs to take advantage of living abroad to explore all the hidden corners of the country. You never know what adventure awaits.
Popular travel booking app Trip.com (also known as CTrip) contains a very handy but often overlooked function called ‘Explore the World’ which can help you find great last-minute flights and deals, especially if you’re not too picky about where you go. Think of it as a digital stand-by ticket for the super adventurous.
To access the function, simply follow these steps:
Step 1: Download the Trip.com (EN) or Ctrip (CN) app from your preferred store
Step 2: Select ‘Flights’ from the app homepage
Step 3: Scroll down to the ‘Explore the World’ function
Step 4: Adjust the date and budget settings, and get exploring!
Tips:
Of course, these prices are highly subject to change, but if you’re in the mood for a quick escape and not too picky about where you go, the Explore my World can be a great way to save money and, well, explore your world!
