At the end of the day, your feet should be dirty, your hair messy, and your eyes sparkling.  At that point I had already been on over 40 train rides in Europe and all of them were quite smooth, but this one to Split was a bit difficult for me. I finally had a bit of a taste of Balkan travel. Before I departed I had heard that Balkan travel could be difficult and dangerous. I thought it was ab...

At the end of the day, your feet should be dirty, your hair messy, and your eyes sparkling. 一天结束时，你的脚应该是脏的，你的头发乱糟糟的，你的眼睛闪闪发光。 旅行到这个时候，我已经在欧洲坐了超过40趟火车，一切都满顺利。但是从扎格雷布到斯普利特的这段火车对我来说有点艰辛，因为我终于了解到什么是巴尔干半岛式的旅行，在我启程前往巴尔干半岛前，我听说巴尔干半岛的旅行会很辛苦还有危险，我原本以为一切都是和...

Own a little, see a lot. On the way to Zagreb in Croatia, I quickly visited Vienna in Austria because it was only two hours from Bratislava by train. It really amazed me how close these countries were physically and yet they have totally different vibes and cultures. I rented Lime, which is a small electric scooter that was quite popular on the streets in Europe and you could rent it on your mobil...

Own a little, see a lot. 拥有少一点，看到很多。 在去克罗地亚首都扎格雷布的时候，我快速的拜访了一下奥地利的首都维也纳因为从我在的布拉提斯拉瓦只要搭两个小时的火车就到了。让我惊讶的是，这些国家如此地相近，然而他们有着截然不同的气氛和文化。到了维也纳后，我租了一台小电动车叫Lime，可以让我快速的移动在维也纳的市中心。没几个小时之后，我竟然惊讶的发觉到，我不太喜欢维也纳这个城市。或许是因为我感觉这个城市和...

A journey is best measured with friends, rather than miles.  Unlike the physical beauty of Budapest, downtown Bratislava was an eclectic mix of really old architecture, run down Brutalist architecture and some ultra-modern buildings. I walked to the old town where there was a Christmas market going on and it was full of people. The vibe there was very cozy and relaxing, with tempting smells o...

A journey is best measured with friends, rather than miles. 旅行最好是用朋友数而不是英里数来衡量。 布拉提斯拉瓦和實質上美丽的布达佩斯不同的是它的市中心是非常老旧的建筑和超级前卫的大楼综合体。我走路到旧城看到有一个正在进行中且充满人潮的圣诞市集。气氛非常的温暖而且放松，还有许多诱人的烤肉香和温暖甜甜的蜂蜜酒在寒冷的冬日空气中漂浮着。我买了一个鸡肉汉堡，还有一杯蜂蜜酒一个人享受着，我看到一个男生一个...

Open your hearts and find your wild.  I loved couchsurfing those days when I was traveling around Europe, seeing different kinds of lifestyles and being inspired by what I saw around me.  I had been very interested in Slovakia because one of my good friends in Barcelona, Lenka, was from there. It was a strange thing for me actually that whenever I met new friends and made a connection, I...

Open your hearts and find your wild. 打开你的心扉，去寻找你的世界。（/去撒你的野） 在欧洲旅游的时候，我很喜欢沙发冲浪，因为我能看到不同的生活型态而被启发。 因为我在巴塞罗那的一个好朋友Lenka是来自斯洛伐克，所以我变得对斯洛伐克很感兴趣，奇怪的是，只要我有机会认识新朋友和有了连结，我就会幻想自己很快地去拜访他们的国家。通常都不会花太久的时间发生。斯洛伐克就是其中一个例子。 通常当我参观一个新的国家，我...

If you never go you'll never know.  The original plan was interrupted and changed as a result of Palli’s sudden visit. I dropped my plans to visit Berlin and some cities in Poland however it was well worth it. Even though he was no longer by my side, his kindness and sweetness would always stay in my heart. I was grateful to have met him on my journey. It was definitely nice to get together w...

If you never go you'll never know. 如果你不去，你永远不会知道。 原本的计划因为冰岛的Palli突然的来访而中断了。虽然放弃了去参观柏林还有一些波兰的城市，然而却很值得。他已经不在我的身旁，但他的好和贴心会一直长存在我心中。我非常感谢在我的旅程中遇见他。 可以和Palli聚在一起的确是很棒，然而说再见也让我感觉伤心还有留下我在情感中感觉枯竭。我问我在哥本哈根的朋友Rikke是否可以再让我和她一起住一晚上去恢复我的能...

All I want in my life is tons of adventures to look back on. The train ride to Copenhagen from Hamburg was incredible because the train would drive into a gigantic ferry boat to continue the journey at sea. By the time we had settled in it was close to sunset and I was mesmerised with the view from the top deck of the boat.  Rikka, my Danish friend who I had met in Barcelona two years ago in...

All I want in my life is tons of adventures to look back on. 在我的人生里，我想要的只是无数值得回顾的冒险。 从汉堡到哥本哈根火车的旅程非常令人不可思议，因为火车会开到超级大的渡轮在海中继续前行。当我们进入游轮的时候，已经是日落的时分，所以我对于在船上顶部甲板上看到的景色感到非常的着迷。 我的丹麦朋友Rikka是我两年前在巴塞罗那上西班牙语课认识的，她来哥本哈根的车站接我。两年前我们刚认识的时候，她就曾邀...

Your wings already exist. All you have to do is fly. I had a new couchsurfing host since I hadn’t been able to contact my original host in Hamburg. I arrived at Himanshu’s apartment and he greeted me warmly at his door. Then I learnt that Himanshu himself had just arrived in this apartment a few hours ago from India, and that this was actually his first day in the apartment! He said he had just re...

Your wings already exist. All you have to do is fly. 你的翅膀已经存在，你要做的就是飞翔。 因为无法联系上汉堡原先的沙发主，所以我找了另外一个沙发主来借宿给我。当我抵达了Himanshu的家他很热情的在家门口招呼我。然后我才发现原来Himanshu几个小时前才从印度抵达了自己在德国汉堡的公寓，而且这是他在这个公寓的第一天。他说，他刚刚才因为工作搬到汉堡，然后他的公司为他安排了所有住宿的细节。他非常开心可以和像我一样...

Life is an adventure. Take risks.  After having breakfast with Yasmine, I went to the station to catch my train to Hamburg. I wanted to see my friend Bonnie, who I had met through the internet. She had been one of my podcast listeners and later joined my online travel club. She was in Germany because she had a medical exchange in Hamburg. Bonnie is from Anhui, China, and is a doctor who has a...

Life is an adventure. Take risks. 生活是一场探险，要懂得冒险。 和Yasmine一起吃完早餐后，我就去车站赶搭火车去汉堡。这次我想要见我在网上认识的朋友Bonnie，她同时也是加入我线上旅游俱乐部的播客听众。因为有一个医学方面的交换机会所以她来到了德国。Bonnie来自中国安徽，是一个有幼小女儿的医生。当我们刚刚认识的时候，她还从来都没有出国过，然而她现在已经充分的利用机会去看欧洲的许多地方。这个经验真的让她打开了眼...

Getting lost is not a waste of time, to travel is to evolve.  On the way to the train station in Munich for my trip to Hamburg, I arranged to meet up with my German classmate while studying Spanish in Barcelona, Julia. Munich is her home and she had just got married and was pregnant. It was so nice to meet up with her and share stories together. Though Julia was a lot younger than me, we alwa...

Getting lost is not a waste of time, to travel is to evolve. 迷失并不是浪费时间，旅行是一种进化。 在去搭从慕尼黑前往汉堡的火车路途中，我安排和曾经在西班牙巴塞罗那一起学习西语的德国同学Julia见面。慕尼黑是她的家乡，她最近结了婚而且怀孕了。好开心可以见她还有与她一起分享故事。虽然Julia比我年轻很多，当我们在巴塞罗那的时候，我们总有很多话可以说。我很欣赏她的乐观还有在生活中散发的积极能量。 其实在我前往...

Memories are timeless treasures of the heart. 记忆是心灵永恒的财富 After Salzburg, I boarded another train to another new city and country for me; Munich, Germany. I was planning to stay for two nights with an Indian couple on couchsurfing who offered to host me. As soon as I arrived in Munich, I noticed how busy and bustling the city was, which was quite different from all the other cities I had...

Memories are timeless treasures of the heart. 记忆是心灵永恒的财富 离开萨尔斯堡之后，我坐上了另一台火车去一个新国家和新城市；德国的慕尼黑。我准备入住在沙发冲浪网站上提供我两晚住宿的印度夫妇的家。当我一抵达慕尼黑，我立刻注意这个忙碌又热闹的城市，和我在这次旅行途中参观的城市很不同。事实上让我想到以前住过一阵子城市--台北。因为它忙碌又快速的生活形态，我从来没有真正的喜欢台北。所以德国给我的第一印象给...

I'd rather have a passport full of stamps than a house full of stuff.  I was really looking forward to meeting Christine, a Taiwanese blogger and a local tour guide based in Austria who I had invited to one of my early podcasts to talk about intercultural relationships. I have been following Christine on social media ever since the podcast episode was first released seven years ago. Although...

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...
