獨旅之樂 The Joy of Solo Travel

這篇翻譯的很開心,因為講到了我去過的地方: P (竟然有Dana!該不會是我之前工作的那個旅館)
仍請大家不吝指教囉~

獨旅之樂 The Joy of Solo Travel
Solo travel is not always easy. It tests my patience, courage, and willingness to adapt to situations outside of my comfort zone. But, despite the challenges, because of solo travel, I’ve met people and had opportunities, adventures I don’t think would have had otherwise. Traveling alone has taught me many things and opened up many great doors. Some of my favorite memories are:
獨旅並不容易,它考驗人的耐心、勇氣和適應舒適圈外世界的意志。但是撇開這些挑戰不談,我也因為獨旅認識了許多人,而且得到很多除此之外我大概不會有的冒險機會。獨自旅行教會了我非常多事,也為我開啟了新的視野。以下是幾個我最喜歡的經驗。

女孩,別怕獨自旅行Woman Shouldn’t Be Afraid To Travel Alone

Woman Shouldn’t Be Afraid To Travel Alone   女孩,別怕獨自旅行

It’s dangerous. How will you get there? Where will you stay? By yourself? But, you’re a girl!
If you’re female and have an interest in travel, then you’ve probably heard these things before. I can’t tell you the number of times I’ve had someone criticize my travels – where I go, how I go, or the fact that I go myself. I am currently on an around-the-world trip, and I can assure you that solo female travel is an incredible experience and one that you should not miss out on due to fears and hesitations. Here are five reasons why it’s safe to travel alone:
「那很危險欸。」「怎麼去?妳要住哪?自己一個人?」「妳是個女生耶!」
如果妳是個女孩又很喜歡旅行,妳大概曾聽過這些話。我無法細數究竟聽過多少次別人對我的旅行的批評─去的地方、旅行的方式、或是「自己去」這件事。現在我正進行一趟環球之旅,我可以跟你保證一個女孩獨自旅行是個非比尋常的美妙經驗,千萬別因為妳的害怕或疑慮而怯步。以下,是五個獨自旅行安全的理由。

家,即是你心之所在 Home Is Where Your Heart Is

 家,即是你心之所在 Home is where your heart is

When i was traveling to Europe. At a hostel in Belgium i met a fellow backpacker and had morning conversation after breakfast. He was from Brazil. He was about my age, 2 years older actually. He start the conversation when i was looking at Brussel map and try to find out what to see on Monday--as most of museum closed on Monday.
We talk a lot about destinations in Europe and he told me about his experiences in some countries he already visit. We share stories about Thailand, and some Asian countries that we both visited. I ask him how long had he been traveling? he said its been 3 years.
那是我在歐洲旅行時的事。在比利時一家青年旅館,我碰到一位背包客,在早餐過後和他聊了一陣。他是巴西人,年紀和我差不多,大個兩歲吧。他在我正研究著布魯塞爾地圖,計劃這博物館大多休館的週一要去哪時開始和我聊天。我們聊了很多歐洲各地的景點,他告訴我他過去的旅遊經驗;我們也分享泰國和一些我們都去過的亞洲國家的旅行故事。我問他一路旅行多久了?他回答:「已經三年了。」
