Going it alone: 7 tips for successful solo travel
一个人也开心:独自旅行的七个小贴士
"To awaken quite alone in a strange town is one of the pleasantest sensations in the world." ”So wrote the great travel writer Freya Stark in her 1932 book "Baghdad Sketches." It's been my motto traveling solo through 30 countries in 21 years.
“在一个陌生的小城独自醒来,是这个世界上最美好的感觉之一。著名的旅行作家芙蕾雅·斯塔克在她1932年所写的书《巴格达草绘》中写下了这句感言。这是我21年来踏遍30个国家独自旅行的格言。
I took my first trip alone, to Greece, at 22. I remember walking to the beach, Nirvana's "Nevermind" blaring in my headphones, and realizing: no one knows where the hell I am. I've been chasing that euphoric feeling ever since.
22岁的时候,我第一次单独旅行,去希腊。我记得自己走在去海滩的路上,耳机里震响着涅槃乐队的“别介意”,然后意识到:没人知道我到底身在何处。从那之后,我一直在追寻这种旅行的愉悦感。
Yet many people who might like to travel alone never do. They fear getting lonely or being bored. They worry about danger. Succumb to these fears, however, and you'll miss out on one of the most addictive travel experiences around.
