学英语环游世界

I'd rather have a passport full of stamps than a house full of stuff. 我宁愿有一本盖满章的护照，也不愿意有一间装满杂物的屋子。 我非常期待见到Christine，她是来自台湾的博主，同时也是定居在奥地利的当地导游。她是我在早期播客中邀请来聊跨文化恋情的来宾之一。自从几年前播客播出那个时候开始，我在社交媒体上一直关注她。虽然我从来没有见过Christine本人，但是从 播客的访谈 中，我感觉她非常外向，而且和她与奥地利...

I was never going to go if I waited for someone to come with me.  It had been so cold and rainy since I arrived in Austria, which didn’t always make travelling and trips outside comfortable. When I stayed with people, I really liked to cook a traditional dumpling dish from my culture and this seemed like suitable food for the gloomy weather.  That night in Salzburg, I really wanted to co...

I was never going to go if I waited for someone to come with me. 如果要等有人跟我一起才出发，那么我将哪儿也去不了。 从我开始抵达奥地利之后，天气就相当的湿冷，所以在外旅行变得不是太舒适。当我和别人一起共住的时候，我很喜欢煮传统的饺子餐，然后这种食物也特别适合这样阴郁的天气。这晚我抵达了萨尔斯堡，我真的想要为我的沙发主人煮些不一样的东西，所以我决定要准备鸡汤。这个汤的食谱陪伴我在西班牙快乐和有时寂寞...

We travel not to escape life, but for life not to escape us.  I set out on my journey and left Lucerne with wonderful memories with my kind host Josh. That day I was off to a new country, Austria. The train ride from Lucerne to Innsbruck was three hours and the time flew by while I was busy enjoying the beautiful scenery along the way and making a vlog. It was cold and rainy when I finally ar...

We travel not to escape life, but for life not to escape us. 我们旅行不是为了逃避生活，而是为了不让生活逃避我们。 这天我带着我美丽的回忆离开了瑞士鲁森前往另一个新国家：奥地利。从鲁森到因斯布鲁克的火车车程好美，我忙着一边拍照和用视频记录，三个小时过得飞快。当我抵达到目的地因斯布鲁克的火车站，天气又湿又冷，然而我的沙发主人已经在车子里等我。 Felix在德国出生，是个身材高挑、金发蓝眼的年轻人，才学了一年...

If traveling was free, you'd never see me again.  I began podcasting in 2014 and started traveling with businesses associated with my podcast in 2015. Back then and up until a few years ago, I still encountered a lot of people while I was traveling who didn't know what a podcast was. I’m very happy to see how podcasting has become a career for a lot of people including as Youtubers. When I fi...

If traveling was free, you'd never see me again. 如果旅行是免费的，你就再也见不到我了。 我自从2014年开始录制Podcast播客，然后2015年便开始因为Podcast播客开始的一些相关生意机会，而开始旅行。在那个时候，甚至一直到几年前在各地旅行的时候，仍然有很多人不知道什么是Podcast播客。现在我很开心播主已经变成了许多人追求的职业。我发现Podcast播客的时候是在2005年的夏天，那时我正在台北的英语广播电台做实习生。 那时...

Where there’s a will, there’s a way.  I had such an eventful week in Switzerland. Not only did I make new friends, go sightseeing and enjoy some amazing local food but I also got to see friends who I met on my previous trip.  I met Patricia in May, 2019,  when I was visiting Ibiza. We were sharing the same room in the hostel and Patricia was very outgoing so we immediately became fr...

Where there’s a will, there’s a way. 有志者，事竟成。 我在瑞士度过了好充实的一周，我不仅交了新朋友、去观光、还去享受了许多美妙的食物，甚至见了我在之前旅行认识的朋友。 我在2019年5月的时候，在拜访伊比萨的时候遇见Patricia。我们住在同一间青年旅舍的同一间房。Patricia非常的外向，所以我们马上就成为了朋友。离开伊比萨之后我一直有联系。那天她和她女儿特别开车来鲁森来看我，鲁森也是他们最喜欢的城市。他们邀请我...

Most of the time, beauty lies in the simplest of things.  It was actually really nice to be able to go to the hosts’ place after my day’s visit. It gets dark really quickly during winters in Europe, usually before the end of the working day around 5pm. The weather was often miserably cold and rainy; just the sort of weather for returning to the host’s place where we either shared food or I co...

Most of the time, beauty lies in the simplest of things. 大多数时候，美存在于最简单的事物中。 事实上，可以在一天的游览完毕时，回到我沙发主人的家感觉真的很好。在欧洲的冬天天黑的很快，差不多在一天结束工作之前就会全黑了。天气也经常很冷又下雨。当天公不作美的时候，回到主人家可以一起分享食物或者我煮饭给他们吃，实在太棒了。 这次在瑞士我有幸能享受到来自我沙发主人许多美味又特别的食物，像是在Bern的Matthew教...

Not all classrooms have four walls.  On the way to Bern, I was communicating with my other Couchsurfing host and he said he could not greet me at his house because he was having a Hebrew lesson. So he met me at the station and gave me his key and address and he left! Another adventure began. It was a cold, rainy November evening and the road to his apartment was really dark. When I finally op...

Not all classrooms have four walls. 不是所有的教室都有四堵墙。山和海也是课堂。 在去伯恩的路上，我和我的沙发主人Matthew联系，他说因为他要去上希伯来语课，不能在家里迎接我，所以他在车站和我约见面，见到他后，他直接给了我他的钥匙还有家地址就离开了！另一个冒险又开始了，那是一个又冷又下雨的11月晚上，去他公寓的路真的好黑。然而当我终于打开他的家门，我看到一个很温暖可爱的公寓，还加上一只猫咪，实在太完美了。...

Sometimes, I need to go off on my own. I'm not sad. I'm not angry. I'm just recharging my batteries. After thanking Yann for the wonderful hospitality for two days at his home, I decided to go for another scenic adventure, so I jumped on a random train up to the mountain. On the way up, I could see the whole Lake Geneva and the calm beauty truly amazed me. I arrived at the top at a place called Le...

Sometimes, I need to go off on my own. I'm not sad. I'm not angry. I'm just recharging my batteries. 有时候，我需要一个人去旅行。我不伤心，我也没有生气，我只是在充电。 在谢谢Yann两天在他家的热情款待之后，我决定再去另一个美丽景色的冒险，所以我又跳上随便一台车到山顶。在爬坡的路上，我可以看见日内瓦湖，它的宁静的美丽真令人惊艳。我抵达了这个地方叫Les Pleiades。看起来像是一个滑雪而且完全无人的小镇。没有...

I am not the same, having seen the moon shine on the other side of the world.  That morning, Yann showed me around Lake Geneva and dropped me off at a vineyard. He suggested I hike up the mountain and then hitchhike to Montreux. After that, I was off on my adventure. I was a little bit disoriented and thought it would be too cold for me to go hiking, so I immediately found a train station nea...

I am not the same, having seen the moon shine on the other side of the world. 我不再是从前的我了，因为我看过月亮在世界的另一边闪耀。 那天早晨，Yann带我去日内瓦湖附近，然后在一个葡萄园把我放下来。他建议我爬山然后搭便车到蒙特勒。之后，我的冒险开始了，我有点搞不清楚方向，然后感觉爬山有点冷，所以我很快的找到了附近的火车站，然后就随便跳上了一台车，看看命运会带我去哪里。 运气很好，这车果真就一路开到了蒙...

My heart is born to travel.  I actually didn’t know there was a basement, at first. Yann took me downstairs to a huge and dimly lit laundry room and where the family hung their clothes to dry. It was very strange for me, since in Spain and in Asia, we hang most of our laundry to dry in the sun outside. Being in this laundry room made me realize how dirty my clothes were -- I only had three se...

1316 在瑞士旅行感受到的窘境、震撼和富足的生活型态 My heart is born to travel. 我的心生来就是要旅行。 事实上，原先我不知道那里有一个地下室。Yann带我到地下室到一个好大的暗暗的洗衣室，那里是他的家人晾他们衣服的地方。其实在西班牙还有在亚洲，我们大多把我们的衣服晾在太阳下，所以这个感觉有点奇怪，但是在那个洗衣间里，我又想到因为旅行只有带三套衣服出来，一周在路上没洗衣服，我现在衣服很脏，但是我觉得实...

Every day is a journey, and the journey itself is home.  I arrived at Renens around 7pm, and the host Yann came to pick me up at the station. He and his wife are pastors and loved receiving guests from around the world. He reached out to me on Couchsurfing and I saw all the amazing comments previous guests had left. Although I had never heard of Renens before, it being a suburb between Geneva...

Every day is a journey, and the journey itself is home. 每一天都是一段旅程，旅程本身就是家。 我大概7点抵达勒南，我在瑞士的沙发主Yann到车站接我。他和他的老婆都是牧师，喜爱接待来自世界各地的朋友。他在沙发冲浪网站上面找到我，然后我看到所有之前游客留的美好评论。虽然我从来没有去过勒南，而且它还在日内瓦和洛桑之之间郊区的地方，我仍然想要见见这么好客的人。 当我抵达的时候，他非常友善的而且立刻就帮我拿了我...

Since life is short and the world is wide, the sooner you start exploring it, the better.  My good friend in Barcelona Nora always said she loved Monaco. To my knowledge, Monaco is the smallest country in the world if you exclude the Vatican. It's a popular tourist destination due to its proximity to the French Riviera and tax free status. It's also a place where the rich and famous flock to...

Since life is short and the world is wide, the sooner you start exploring it, the better. 既然人生是如此短暂、世界是如此宽广，你越早开始探索它越好。 我在巴塞罗那的好友Nora总是说她好爱摩纳哥，据我所知摩纳哥是在梵蒂冈之后最小的国家，因为它靠近法国里维埃拉和免税状态，是非常著名的旅游胜地。还是有钱人和有名人士爱来的地方，因为这里满满都是奢华酒店、度假村还有赌场。而且从尼斯只要搭火车23分钟就可以到，所...

The world is more beautiful than the world wide web. 现实世界比互联网要美妙多了。 My wish was actually really simple, which is to see the world with my own eyes. During this Eurail trip, I used Couchsurfing to save money and experience local cultures on a deeper level. I stayed and met up with around twenty Couchsurfing hosts in these two months. In my Couchsurfing profile, I specifically stated t...

The world is more beautiful than the world wide web. 现实世界比互联网要美妙多了。 我的愿望很简单，就是用我的脚步去丈量这个世界, 在这次环欧旅行中，我试着要省钱和为了体验更多的文化尝试了沙发客的体验！这两个月的火车行我总共经历了19个不同地方当沙发客的体验，在我的沙发冲浪档案里，我都会特别强调，我不是用沙发冲浪来约会的，我将我两个月的行程公开后，收到了将近上百封的住宿邀约！ 在每个沙发主人的档案上，你...
