Going it alone: tips for successful solotravel
一個人也開心:獨自旅行的小貼士
Revel in your selfishness
為你的自私狂歡吧(想干嘛就干嘛)
Having no one but yourself to decide what to do each day is a rare luxury. Imagine: no one to sneer if you want to find the local art house cinema and watch old black-and-white movies all day. No one to sigh over your love of tractor museums. No one to gripe when you whipthrough a gallery in 30 minutes instead of taking the tour.
沒有別人的干涉,只有自己決定每天做什么事情,這可是難得的奢侈噢。想象一下:沒人會笑你想要找個當地的藝術小屋電影院,看老掉牙的黑白電影看上一整天。沒人會對你對拖拉機博物館的狂熱無奈嘆氣。沒人會抱怨你飛快地在30分鐘內逛完畫廊,而不慢慢游覽。
"Never will you feel guilty formissing that train from Florence to Rome ... never will you have to apologizeto anyone for sleeping in late at your hostel," expands Katka Lapelosa onthe Matador Network travel site. "You don't have anyone else's feelings totake into consideration, and that is sometimes the most encouraging reason totravel alone."
“你再也不會為錯過從佛羅倫薩到羅馬的火車而心存愧疚…再也不用為在旅社睡過時間去向任何人道歉,”卡特卡·拉派勞薩在Matador Network的旅行網站上就這點繼續擴展道。“你不用去考慮其他人的感受,這有時也是獨自旅行最鼓舞人心的理由。”
