Here are my 9 tips for solo travel if you're a girl:
如果你是個(gè)女孩子而且要獨(dú)自旅行,這兒有我給你的9條建議。
1. Be Prepared.
1、準(zhǔn)備妥當(dāng)。
A well-considered itinerary helps me feel secure and keeps me occupied. I do a lot of research and planning before I get on the bus or plane or train. At the very least, as a female travelling alone, you should book your first night of accommodation before your arrival at your destination.
經(jīng)過深思熟慮的旅行日程會(huì)讓我覺得可靠,而且不會(huì)讓我閑著。在我登上大巴、飛機(jī)或火車之前,我會(huì)做大量的研究和規(guī)劃。至少,作為一名獨(dú)自旅行的女性,你應(yīng)該在到達(dá)目的地之前訂好你第一晚的住處。
2. Look Purposeful.
2、看起來志在必得。
Being prepared and knowing where you're going helps immensely with this. Don't show your ignorance, fear, and vulnerability while on the road -- it may encourage unwanted attention and invite others to take advantage of you. Bring a book to restaurants so you're not uncomfortably waiting for your food to come.
準(zhǔn)備妥當(dāng),并了解你要去的地方,會(huì)對你的出行有極大的幫助。在路上的時(shí)候,不要表現(xiàn)出無知、恐懼或是脆弱,因?yàn)檫@也許會(huì)帶來不必要的關(guān)注,讓其他人利用你。去餐廳的時(shí)候帶本書,這樣你在等待上餐的時(shí)候就不會(huì)覺得不舒服了。
3. Take Walking Tours.
3、徒步參觀。
Kill two birds with one stone: Learn about your destination and battle loneliness at the same time. Walking tours are a great way to orient yourself, as well as meet other adventure-seekers discovering the same place as yourself. In all cases, strangers, became friends, at least for a little while.
一箭雙雕:了解你的目的地,同時(shí)與孤獨(dú)做斗爭。徒步參觀是為自己確定方向的一個(gè)好方法。而且,徒步參觀會(huì)在相同的地方發(fā)現(xiàn)和你一樣的探險(xiǎn)者。不管在什么情況下,陌生人都會(huì)成為朋友,至少是一陣子的朋友。
4. Stay In Hostel And Be Sociable.
4、呆在旅舍中,多交際。
Most hostels have common rooms and host community building events. If sharing a room with strangers creeps you out, you can always stay in a private room -- many hostels have them. Prefer to stay in a hotel? No problem. Many hostels post events on their websites, and you don't necessarily have to be a guest to attend. Don't miss out on a prime opportunity to meet other travellers!
大多數(shù)旅舍都有公共休息室,而且會(huì)舉行社區(qū)建設(shè)活動(dòng)。如果和陌生人分享一個(gè)房間會(huì)嚇著你,你可以一直呆在包間里——許多旅舍都有包間。比較喜歡呆在酒店里?沒問題。許多酒店會(huì)在他們的網(wǎng)站上公布他們的活動(dòng),不是客人你也可以參加。不要錯(cuò)過與其他游客碰面的好機(jī)會(huì)。
5. Dress Appropriately.
5、穿著得體。
Yes, I know we should be able to dress any way we want. But try to conform, at least with your clothing, to cultural norms, and dress conservatively in countries (and/or tourist sites) where it is expected.
是的,我知道我們可以按自己想要的方式打扮。但是至少盡量讓你的服飾符合文化規(guī)范,在要求穿著保守的國家和(或)景區(qū)穿的保守一些。
6. Be In Touch.
6、保持聯(lián)系。
Always have an emergency contact number at hand, and let people at home know your whereabouts. A simple but good idea would be to take a few index cards and write down all pertinent contact information that can be used by yourself and/or others in case tragedy strikes.? Keep them on your person and distribute in case of emergency.
手邊始終要有一個(gè)緊急聯(lián)系電話,讓家里的人知道你的行蹤。一個(gè)簡單的好方法是拿幾張索引卡片,寫下你自己可能會(huì)用到的所有相關(guān)聯(lián)系方式,和(或)萬一發(fā)生其他不幸的事情時(shí),會(huì)用到的聯(lián)系方式。隨身攜帶這些卡片,在緊急情況下分發(fā)下去。
7. Avoid Negative Attention.
7、回避負(fù)面關(guān)注。
Sometimes negative attention, in particular from males, cannot be helped. My simple rule is to not engage: I ignore, I deflect, I keep it moving. I don't respond to taunts or negativity. I remove myself quickly from situations where I am a target.
有時(shí)候,負(fù)面關(guān)注,尤其是來自男性的關(guān)注,可能是沒有法子的。我的簡單原則是,不要參與:忽視它,轉(zhuǎn)向一邊,不斷移動(dòng)。我不會(huì)響應(yīng)嘲弄或否定。我會(huì)迅速遠(yuǎn)離以我為目標(biāo)的處境。
8. Find A Sister In Crime.
8、找一個(gè)同行的姐妹。
Who better to understand your plight, your fears, and your concerns than another female travelling on her own?
誰會(huì)比另一個(gè)獨(dú)自旅行的女性更理解你的境況、恐懼和擔(dān)心呢?
9. Let your hair down and enjoy!
9、輕松點(diǎn),玩得愉快!
This goes without saying. Live in the moment. Embrace the experience. And learn to relish in the luxury of your own company.
這是不言而喻的。活在當(dāng)下,欣然接受你的經(jīng)歷,學(xué)會(huì)享受獨(dú)處的樂趣。
