去旅行，不可不知的13件事

Pickpockets abound in crowded cities, just waiting to snatch your passport or wallet. Take precaution by buckling up. Fashions have come a long way in twenty years—today’s fannies are slimmer and sleeker than those of yore. Carry and conceal important documents and cash to keep them safe.

换一个有趣点的包

拥挤的大城市中扒手总是特别多，他们就等着你的护照和钱包呢。在他们对你下手前就做好防范的准备。这种风气已经持续了20多年——现在比以前更甚。好好收好那些重要的文件和现金。

8. Invest in comfortable shoes

In many countries sandals are more common than sneakers. To blend in with the locals, invest in a quality pair that’s more durable than your average flip flops. You’re going to do a lot of walking. And if you’re traveling somewhere cold, a cross-trainer sneaker is a good choice.

买双不错的鞋子

在许多国家，凉鞋比运动鞋更常见。入乡随俗，给自己买双比平时更轻巧耐穿的鞋子，做好长足准备。同时，要是你要去的地方很冷，一双软运动鞋将会是个不错的选择。

9. You’re going to be uncomfortable

The idea of travel is romantic. But sometimes you find yourself on an overnight bus in ninety-degree weather without a shower until next evening. These situations may seem like torture, but if you survive, they will make you stronger.

做好会生病的准备

旅游充满浪漫。但是你有时会发现自己一整夜都是温度比较低的车上度过的，而且还没有洗澡。这种情况可能会让你觉得无法忍受，但是一旦你越过了那道坎，你会变得更强大。

10. Get ready to fall in love

It may be with someone else, it may be with a seaside village, or it may be the memory of being on a train, not knowing what’s next. Be prepared to fall in love, have your heart broken, and move on.

做好恋爱的准备

也许是爱上某个人，或许又是恋上一个海边的村庄，或者是在火车上的一段记忆，或者是其他的一些什么。做好恋爱的准备，即使你心碎过，也要向前看。

11. Bring a camera

Taking pictures will be one of your best ways to remember your journey. Just be careful to keep your camera on you at all times, and try to be discreet. Cameras are crucial, but they’re also a giveaway that you’re a traveler.

带上摄影机

拍照留恋是记录旅途的最好方法之一。但是一定要小心的收好你的摄影机。摄影机是旅途中很重要的一部分，但它也会暴露你是游客的身份。

12. Journal

It can take a lot of time and effort to keep a jounal, but it’s very rewarding to revisit personal records of a trip years later. Try to avoid listing what happened during your day. Instead, get to the nitty-gritty of how it felt when you first walked into that clearing, of your first impressions of a new friend, or of your personal failures and difficulties in simply getting around. Above all, when journaling, don’t be afraid to confess.

写日记

记日记会占用很多时间，用很多精力，但是多年后那些日记也会有唤起我们旅途中的一些回忆。写日记不要像是在记流水账，相反的你可以清晰的记下在旅途中发生的比较傻帽但是又很勇敢的事迹，交到一个新朋友后，你对他的第一印象，或者是记录下在旅途中你个人做得不够好的一些事，或是写下旅途中遇到的一些困难。以上这些都可以写，写日记的时候不要害怕去坦白。

13. You don’t have to hit all the tourist sites

When traveling there are certain sites to see, sure, but you may have as much fun walking around the streets of Rome as you do snapping photos of the Leaning Tower of Pisa. Fighting crowds, taking tour buses and paying overpriced ticket fees are all turn offs for me. Unless it’s a UNESCO World Heritage Site, I’m not sold on making a detour.

你不必走到每个景点

旅行的时候会到一些景点去，这是毫无疑问的，但是在罗马大街上拍照和在比萨斜塔游玩是一样的有趣。景点人山人海，挤观光巴士，门票费很高等等，这些都是我不愿去景点的原因。除非是联合国科教文组织下命令，否则我是绝不会让步的。
