去旅行，不可不知的13件事

1. You’re easy to spot

People in other countries have certain mannerisms, body language and styles, which you don’t. And they may or may not have a totally different skin color than you, too. That makes you an obvious target, so be aware.

你很容易变成焦点

不同国家的人之间总有些不同的地方，像是跟你有着不一样的肢体语言，生活方式，间或是有些完全不同的肤色。那些都会让你尤其显眼，所以一定得先意识到。

2. You may get homesick

Sometimes being in a place where you don’t know anyone and you don’t know the language can be really depressing, especially if you’re there for a long time by yourself. That’s okay. If you’re bored traveling, try walking around. Ask locals for cool places to visit: this will be really helpful so you don’t stumble into a bad neighborhood.

也许会有些想家

有时候，在我们完全陌生的地方，遇到一些人说一些我们完全听不懂的话，那都是特别令人沮丧的，又尤其是当你一个人在那里要待一段时间的时候。一切都会好起来的。在旅途中要是觉得无聊，那就试着四处转转吧。打听一下当地有哪些比较不错的地方去走走，这也可以帮你避开一些比较烦人的邻居。

3. Mistakes happen

If you miss your flight or lose some money, don’t worry too much about it. Stress will make you miserable. Instead, treat your mistakes as experience. Dealing with problems will make you more easygoing. Problems are what make travel fun and interesting. In the end, they’re fun stories to tell your friends when you return home.

出了些小错

要是你误机了，或是钱掉了，你也不必太担心。压力会让你觉得更加的痛苦。相反的，把这些小插曲当成是一种历练。处理好这些事情会让你的旅途更轻松。中途发生的一些小插曲会让旅途变得更有趣。最后，旅途完了回家也会有更多地故事可以与朋友分享。

4. Go for you

If you’re traveling with friends, be aware that you may be forced into going places and doing things you don’t want to. Don’t be afraid to take a stand and say, “I’d rather go here,” even if it means going by yourself. Time alone on an adventure can be more rewarding than following another leader.

跟着自己的心

要是你选择与朋友一同出游，想好哪些地方是你不愿意去的，哪些事是你不愿做的。即使是那个地方最后可能是你一个人去，那也一定要毫不犹豫的站出来说，“我想去哪里”。旅途中独自冒险收获到的一定会比跟着别人走来得多。

5. It’s okay to get lost

Getting lost can lead you to walk certain streets, meet certain people, and have certain unexpected experiences. Getting lost is the essence of what travel is about—not knowing what’s going to happen and taking it as it comes.

淡然看得失

失去一些东西会让你增加一些压力，但也会让你遇到某些人，收获些以外的经历。得失是旅途中最本质的一些东西——不知道能得到什么，也无法预料到会失去些什么。

6. Keep your valuables at home

Bringing your MacBook Pro to Thailand is a bad idea, especially if you’re going on an extended trip. If you really want to bring a computer, buy a cheap notebook expressly for the purpose of travel.

不要带着贵重物品上路

把你的那些电子产品带到泰国绝对不是个好主意，有特别是你计划的是一个长期的旅途。要是你真的想带上电脑，那就买一个便宜点的笔记本来记录下旅途中的心得吧。
