背上行囊現在出發：環遊世界的9大理由
“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines, sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.” Mark Twain
馬克·吐溫：從現在開始的二十多年中，比起那些已經做過的，你會越來越後悔那些你沒有做過的事情。請解開繫緊的船纜，駛離安全的港灣，揚帆遠航吧。去探索，去夢想，去發現！
1. You will grow as a person
你將成長爲一個獨立的人
When you travel the world, you have the opportunity to experience different cultures and meet new people. It is inevitable that through these experiences you will learn a lot about yourself. Who you are as a person and what you want out of life might very well change.
當你周遊世界時，你就有機會體驗不同的文化並結識新朋友。通過這些經歷，你自然而然就會更加深刻地瞭解自己。你就會更清楚自己是個什麼樣的人，你對生活的期望也很可能會改變。
2. Freedom
自由
You will enjoy a much greater sense of freedom when no one is able to tell you what to do. You are the boss. You decide where you want to go, what you want to do and how long you want to stay.
當沒有人能告訴你該怎麼做，你將更多地感受自由。你就是老闆。你決定要去的地方，決定要做什麼，決定要待多久。
3. Simplicity
返璞歸真
You will discover how much better life can be when you live it simply. No phone, email, TV, job, schedule, bills to pay; just you, your surroundings and your mind. Perfection.
你會發現簡樸生活纔是更好的生活。沒有電話、電子郵件、電視，沒有工作、形成、賬單；只有你自己，你周圍的環境和你的心靈。多麼完美。4. Food, Glorious Food
豐盛美食
You will have the chance to taste food from all corners of the globe. Do you like eating Chinese, Thai or Indian food? You will enjoy the food even more when you eat it from the place it originated.
你將有機會品嚐到世界上每個角落的食物。你喜歡吃中國菜，泰國菜還是印度菜？當你在這些美食的家鄉就餐時，那肯定是另一番享受。
5. Meet New People
結識新朋友
You will have the chance to meet new people when you travel; some interesting, some boring, and some downright crazy. Everyone has a story to tell, chances are that it will be worth listening to.
旅行中一定有機會結識新朋友；有些有趣，有些很悶，有些簡直不可理喻。每個人都有自己的故事，很可能有些故事還真值得一聽。
6. Nature
大自然
Instead of looking out your office window to see a hundred skyscrapers staring back at you, you will get the chance to see the world in all its natural beauty. See the deserts of Africa or the jungles of the Amazon with your own eyes instead of looking at a still image in a book.
你將有機會看到世界是多麼自然美麗，而不只是透過辦公室窗口看到與你面面相覷的上百座摩天大樓。親眼看一看非洲的沙漠或亞馬遜叢林，那不是書本上的呆板圖片比得上的。7. Become Street Smart
學會見機行事
You might already be book smart but add street smart to your persona then there’s no stopping you; it’s a killer combination. Travelling teaches you many of life’s lessons and you will gain pearls of wisdom along your journey; from being able to barter, to knowing when you are trying to be conned, there are many things new places can teach you.
你可能很會讀書，但要是再能有一些生存智慧，那就是完美的組合，你將無往不勝。旅行會教給你生活中的許多經驗教訓，你一邊旅行一邊採集智慧之珠；從討價還價到不受人矇騙，每到一個新地方，你必然會有新斬獲。
8. You only live once
人生只有一次
We all get a limited amount of time on this Earth, and no one knows when it will come to an end (sorry, to be such a downer). Do you really want to stay in the same town or city your whole life, without meeting new people, tasting new foods and seeing and experiencing life as others do?
我們在這個地球上都只待有限的時間，沒有人知道什麼時候會結束（對不起，這樣說太唐突）。你真的想一生都待在同一城市或城鎮，而不是像別人那樣去結識新朋友、品嚐新食物，去領悟和體驗生活嗎？
9. Coming Home
回家真好
After travelling round the world, there is nothing quite like the feeling of walking through your front door, dropping your bags on the floor, and going upstairs to sleep in your warm, comfortable bed for a day or two. As much fun as travelling can be, everyone needs a place they can call home.
環遊世界後，還有什麼比回家更爽的事情：徑直走過前門，將行李往地板上一扔，上樓一頭扎進你那溫暖舒適的牀上睡它一兩天。儘管旅遊充滿樂趣，但每個人都需要一個他們稱之爲家的地方。
