Going it alone: tips for successful solo travel
一个人也开心:独自旅行的小贴士
How to save money (you won't)
怎样省钱(你不会选择这样做)
Traveling solo you can't share the price of a room or a meal, nor will you save on a companion fare. Then there's the dreaded single supplement if you're on an organized tour -- although these are becoming less common.
独自旅行的你不能和别人共同分担一个房间或者一顿饭的花费,也不能省两人同行减价优惠。接着如果你是有计划地出行,就会想到让人畏惧的单间附加费——尽管这种收费越来越少见了。
The point is, accept that in some ways, in certain circumstances, traveling alone is more expensive than traveling with others ... then imagine the benefits of the arrangement. You'll never be stuck with someone whom you find you don't really like on what could otherwise have been a memorable adventure. And someone who doesn't, it turns out, like you. That's a priceless saving.
重点在于:在特定的情形下,单独旅行在某些方面的确比和别人一起花费更多,接受这个事实…然后想象下这样安排的好处。你再不用牺牲原本难得的冒险机会而去和自己不喜欢的人困在一起,最后发现,这个人也不喜欢你。这是一种金钱无法衡量的无价收获。
