Going it alone: tips for successful solotravel
一个人也开心:独自旅行的小贴士
Revel in your selfishness
为你的自私狂欢吧(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.
没有别人的干涉,只有自己决定每天做什么事情,这可是难得的奢侈噢。想象一下:没人会笑你想要找个当地的艺术小屋电影院,看老掉牙的黑白电影看上一整天。没人会对你对拖拉机博物馆的狂热无奈叹气。没人会抱怨你飞快地在30分钟内逛完画廊,而不慢慢游览。
"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."
“你再也不会为错过从佛罗伦萨到罗马的火车而心存愧疚…再也不用为在旅社睡过时间去向任何人道歉,”卡特卡·拉派劳萨在Matador Network的旅行网站上就这点继续扩展道。“你不用去考虑其他人的感受,这有时也是独自旅行最鼓舞人心的理由。”
