时文阅读(二)——旅游天地
Most of us enjoy traveling with friends, but sometimes it's just not possible, as life gets in the way. Traveling alone becomes your only choice if you want to see the world! Here are three reasons why traveling alone is fun.
• You can do whatever you want to do.
While traveling alone, there is no social pressure(社会压力) to do things you don't want to do in order to keep others happy. You become your own guide, timekeeper and trip planner. You are free to plan as you like! You don't have to worry about what your friends think of you for talking to people they may not like. You don't have to stay bored on the beach because your brothers or sisters don't want to visit your favorite museum. You've got far more freedom to be able to do the things without feeling any pressure.
• It gets you out of your comfort zone(舒适区).
We feel comfortable when we are traveling with people we know. That's because we think we have that safety net to fall back on, if something goes wrong. Traveling alone, however, makes you suddenly responsible for(为……负责) everything, and it makes you grow up quickly. You have to learn about the city you visit. You have to go and eat meals on your own and find your own way using a map. When in another country, you have to know how to use the language and make yourself understood.
• D
While traveling alone, you will almost always make friends and speak to new people. You have to eat, drink and visit interesting places and it is so easy to make new friends with other travelers. You can go to online language learning groups or activities in the evenings. And if you happen to get lost, it's often a great way to talk with people and find something interesting you didn't know before.
