What I would tell you

  • 别订跟团的极光巴士。自己开车才能等——巴士到点就走,而极光不看时间表。
  • 冬天租车一定要四驱加冬胎,这不是升级项,是必需品。
  • 极光预报只能看当晚,看三天以后的没有意义。

Before and after

Before: I assumed it would cost a fortune and that being alone would be lonely.

After: The money is savable. The loneliness never happened — someone is always asking to borrow a power bank, for directions, to share a ride.
