1. If you don’t take the first step, you’ll never do it. 如果现在不踏出第一步，以后更没可能 It’s so easy to get stuck in this cycle of “I’m going to go — I can’t go right now — I’ll go next year — I’m going to go,” and never get out of it. There is, after all, a lot of logistics that go into getting out there and seeing the places you’ve always wanted to see. 人们很容易陷入这种怪圈：“我要去旅游，但现在不行，明年吧，明年我就去。” 可到最后也没成行。反正出门旅游的途径很多，总有办法去那些一直想看的地方。 If you’re looking for one, there is always an excuse not to get those tickets. But the second you take the plunge and decide that you’re actually going (and making the painful-but-necessary financial investments to do so), everything else has a tendency to fall into place. 只要你不想去，总有理由不去动身。可一旦你鼓起勇气真的决定出发时（可能要为此花掉一点必要的积蓄），所有的一切都会清晰明朗啦。 2. It’s less expensive than you think. 旅游没你想得昂贵 While the purchases of things like tickets are always going to sting a bit, there are so many ways to make your travels feasible to do on the cheap. 除了票价等有点贵以外，穷游的途径还是很多的。 If a hostel is too pricey for you (though there are many which offer beds at 15 bucks a night or even less in major cities), couch surfing is a wonderful option. If you don’t know anyone, check any of the many websites which organize couch surfers. Speaking personally, I and almost all of my friends in Paris have hosted couch surfers at one time or another, because we understand that it’s a city so many people want to see at some point, and we don’t always have a ton of disposable income to do so.) |
