独自旅行是种什么感觉? [美国媒体]

quora网友:有时让我飘飘然,有时让我感到孤独、痛苦,感觉极其糟糕!我曾独自在印度国内和国外旅行过,所以我觉得我有资格回答这个问题。独自旅行的时候,你是自由的。你的行程全部由你自己做主,没有计划随便走也没关系......

How does it feel to travel alone?

独自旅行是种什么感觉?



Abhinav Garg, I travel and trek. With friends if possible, solo otherwise.
Sometimes I was on cloud 9, and sometimes I was lonely, miserable and felt like shit ! I have traveled alone within India and outside India, so I feel I am qualified to answer this question.
You are free. Your itinerary is your own and it is okay if you don't have one. No changing plans because your friend got sick. No forcing yourself to go a attraction you don’t want to.
It’s liberating. You do what the heart wants. You don’t give a damn about what people will say. Too tired to walk - sit on the sidewalk, nobody cares. Prices too high - walk out of the restaurant, nobody to judge you.

有时让我飘飘然,有时让我感到孤独、痛苦,感觉极其糟糕!我曾独自在印度国内和国外旅行过,所以我觉得我有资格回答这个问题。
独自旅行的时候,你是自由的。你的行程全部由你自己做主,没有计划随便走也没关系。不需要因为你的朋友生病而改变计划。不需要强迫自己去一个你不想去的地方。
这是种解放。你可以做你想做的事情。你完全不必在乎别人会怎么说。累得走不动——就坐在人行道上,没人在意。价格太高——就走出餐厅,没有人会评判你如何如何。



You will be miserable. There will be days when things will not go your way. Once I was stuck in a small village with seemingly no possible transportation out. I didn’t speak the local language, I couldn’t read the signboards. I was miserable.
You will be scared. I was dumped by a bus on a Highway surrounded by dense forest late at night . I could hear the elephants trumpeting. I had to walk 14 kilometers in complete darkness with all my luggage to reach my destination.

你有时会很痛苦。总有一些日子诸事不顺。有一次,我被困在一个小村庄里,似乎没有交通工具可以从村子里出去。我不会说当地的语言,我夜看不懂路牌。当时我很痛苦。
你有时会感到害怕。有一次深夜,我被一辆公交车扔在密林环绕的高速公路上。我能听到大象在吼叫。为了到达目的地,我不得不在黑暗中拖着行李走了14公里。



You will know the type of a traveler you are. Last, you will find out whether the solo travel is for you or not. I have realized that I am enjoy short solo trips. I am not really sure about long term solo travel.
P.S. - Comment if you want details on any of the stories.

你会知道你是哪种类型的旅行者。最后,你会发现独自旅行是否适合你。我已经意识到我喜欢独自短途旅行。我对长期独自旅行不太确定。

注:如果你想知道任何以上故事的细节,请给我留言。

Finally I have something of my own to share..
A lil bit of background before we begin our journey..
I was extremely sad, depressed & confused about what next to do with my life since I am already 25 and I felt I was too late to think on anything & my life is over. Mentally broken and addicted to bad habits I made up my mind to take a trip with my Roommies.

我终于有自己的东西可以分享了。
在我们开始我们的旅程之前,先给大家说一下我的背景。
我已经25岁了,我非常伤心、沮丧、迷茫,不知道下一步该做什么,我觉得我已经来不及去思考任何事情了,我的生活已经结束了。由于精神上的崩溃和对坏习惯的沉迷,我决定和我的室友去旅行。



Bought 4 RedBulls and as I started I had numbness in my mind. No happiness, no excitement or no fear. That's what happend when you are sad & confused I believe. But I did take the trip.
When I came back, hell yeah... I was back with a big smile on my face! I had still not known what to do with my life but yes, I knew the path to find the purpose! I knew my potential! I knew what makes or breaks me!
Here's what all happened during the trip finally leading me to happiness.

我买了4瓶红牛,刚开始的时候,我的脑子里一片麻木。没有快乐,没有兴奋,没有恐惧。我相信,当你感到悲伤和困惑时,就会发生这种事。但是我还是继续了这次旅行。
当我回来的时候…我带着灿烂的笑容回来了!我仍然不知道我的生活该做些什么,但是的,我知道找到了通往目标的道路!我知道了我的潜力!我知道是什么成就了我,又是什么毁掉了我!
以下是旅途中发生的一切,这次旅程最终让我感到幸福。



My mind was telling me I lost the route, my eyes swollen & time wasted because of the puncture.. But I was focused on reaching Anjuna! What a change i was experiencing within myself.
Reached Anjuna, my face was tarred & eyes literally bulged, red & tiresome I got freshed up.
Went to Anjuna beach and had a drink sitting before the beach! Ah! Solitude!

我的脑子告诉我,我迷路了,眼睛废了,时间也浪费在修补车胎上。但我的注意力一直集中在想要到达Anjuna!我内心正在经历着深刻的变化。
到达Anjuna后,我的脸变成了古铜色,眼睛也肿了起来,我快累死了。
我去了Anjuna海滩,在海滩前喝了一杯!啊!真是孤独!

Before I answer this question, one movie, a travel documentary that I'd reccommend everyone to watch is A Map for Saturday! Will be one of the best movies you'd have watched if the travel bug has bitten you.
Also I recommend Riding Solo To the Top of the World by Gaurav Jani & Dirt Track Productions. These two movies will put things into perspective :)

在我回答这个问题之前,有一部电影,一部旅游纪录片,我推荐大家看一下,名字叫《星期六的地图》!如果这次旅行让你心有所感的话,这将会是你看过的最好的电影之一。
同时我也推荐一下Gaurav Jani & Dirt Track Productions的《独自骑到世界之巅》。这两部电影将给你一个清楚的答案:)

Now here's my answer:
"To traverse beyond the limitations of my mind, I travel to look upon the journey within myself."

我的回答是:
独自旅行是“为了超越思想的局限,为了看清自己的内心。”



1. Feel liberated in terms of freedom, freedom from a lot of aspects of life that we go through when we live a mundane 9-5 kind of life.
2. Feel happy to have the flexibility to generally interact, talk meet and learn from various travelers on the road.
3. Since I get a lot of time to basically be on my own, it gives me a lot of time to catch up on my reading, watching movies on my phone, sometimes to write as well.

1。感到自由,远离我们过着朝九晚五的平凡生活的诸多琐碎的自由。
2。能在旅途中灵活地与不同的旅行者进行交流、交谈、见面和学习,我感到很高兴。
3.因为我有很多时间基本上是一个人在旅行,让我有很多时间可以阅读,可以在手机上看电影,有时也写点东西。

Aman Mehta, Wandering and Wondering!
Last month, I went for a solo trip to Ladakh for 12 days. I will share my experiences, even though I know it is beyond my capability to justify them through words.
Why?
A lot of people asked me why would someone prefer to travel alone.

上个月,我独自去拉达克旅行了12天。我会分享下我的经历,即使我知道我无法仅仅用言语来证明。
为什么?
很多人问我为什么有人更喜欢独自旅行。



Second barrier was the budget. I didn't want to ask money from my parents. I had saved around Rs. 5k from my pocket money. A 12 day trip to Ladakh with such a minimal budget may sound ridiculous, but I had to make it somehow. I wanted to make this trip pretty tough. I had a tent, and my plan was not to spend a single night in a hotel, use the cheapest transport available, and consume the cheapest food. However, while setting out, my grandfather and aunt granted me an additional amount of 3k, which I spent for my stay in a decent hotel in Leh for a night, gifts for relatives, and trying out some local Ladakhi dishes.
I will not waste my effort explaining through words, how beautiful the journey was.

第二个障碍是预算。我不想向父母要钱。我从零花钱里节省出了大约5千卢比。用这么少的预算去拉达克旅行12天听起来很荒唐,但我必须设法做到。我想让这次旅行变得艰难一些。我有一个帐篷,我的计划是不在旅馆住,用最便宜的交通工具,吃最便宜的食物。然而,在出发的时候,我的祖父和婶婶又给了我3k,我把这些钱花在了在列城(拉达克地区的首府)一家体面的旅馆的住宿上面,还有给亲戚买礼物的费用,以及品尝当地拉达克美食的费用。
我无法用语言来描述,这段旅程是多么的美好。

I spent the chilly night in Manali sleeping on a bench in the bus stand. Next morning, I set-off to Leh in a HRTC bus. The bus has a night stop in Keylong. Booked a dormitory near the bus stand for just Rs. 60. Met two Indian guys and two Czech girls in the dorm, who were also going to Leh. Met some more travelers(from Columbia, Spain,Russia, US, Israel, Korea) in the bus next day. Got to know their life stories and their culture.

我在马纳利度过了一个寒冷的夜晚,我就睡在公共汽车站的长椅上。第二天早上,我乘坐希马恰尔公路运输公司的巴士出发去了列城。这辆公共汽车在Keylong停留了一夜。我在公交车站附近租了一间宿舍,只花了60卢比。在旅馆遇到两个印度人和两个捷克女孩,他们也要去列城。第二天我在巴士上遇到了更多的游客(来自哥伦比亚、西班牙、俄罗斯、美国、以色列、韩国)。了解了他们的生活故事和文化。



Next day, I met two Japanese and Israeli fellow trekkers who would be my companion for next two days. On the way, we encountered tiny villages where we had some delicious Ladakhi dishes .
I trekked for around 60 km over 4 days with a weight of 12 kg on my back. Excitement overshadowed tiredness.

第二天,我遇到了两个日本和以色列的徒步旅行者,他们是我接下来两天的同伴。在路上,我们遇到了一些小村庄,在那里我们吃到了一些美味的拉达克美食。
我在4天的时间里跋涉了大约60公里,背上有12公斤重的负重。兴奋的感觉掩盖了身体的疲劳。

Local people of Ladakh are very warm and hospitable. Everyone greets you "Julay"(greeting in Ladakhi) or Hello with a big smile on their face.
Coming on to the actual question, It's an amazing feeling to travel alone, because
When you travel alone, you spend a considerable amount of time with yourself which is very rare in today’s over-intrusive world. You introspect into your life. A self-exploratory trip is priceless."Sometimes you find yourself in the middle of nowhere and sometimes in the middle of nowhere you find yourself."

拉达克当地人非常热情好客。每个人都用“Julay”或“Hello”(都是拉达克语打招呼用语)来问候你。
回到原来的问题上,独自旅行是一种奇妙的感觉,因为
当你独自旅行时,你会花大量的时间和自己在一起,这在当今这个过度打扰他人的世界里是非常罕见的。你会反省自己的生活。自我探索之旅是无价的。“有时你会发现自己在一个不知名的地方,有时你会在一个不知名的地方认识真正的自己。”

Traveling alone makes you value your relationships more.
Traveling alone makes you an independent, more responsible person. The planning and execution rests solely on your shoulders, and you are the one who is responsible for all the consequences. Sometimes you have to change yourself to adapt to certain situations. These all qualities get carved into your character and makes you a far better person.
A solo trip filled with challenges takes your confidence level to a whole new level. You develop the belief that nothing is out of reach of you.

独自旅行会让你更加珍惜你的人际关系。
独自旅行会使你成为一个独立的、更有责任感的人。旅行的计划和执行完全落在你自己的肩上,你要对所有后果负责。有时你必须改变自己以适应某些情况。所有这些品质都深深地刻在你的性格中,使你成为一个更好的人。
充满挑战的独自旅行会把你的自信提升到一个全新的高度。你形成了一种信念,那就是没有什么是你遥不可及的。



Traveling is all about letting yourself soaked into the scenic beauty of the place; knowing about the people and their culture and language. Let the place leave a lifelong impression on you. Cherish all experiences-good or bad. And finally when it is over, don't be sad because it is over. Be happy because it happened!

旅行就是让自己沉浸在风景优美的地方;了解当地的人,他们的文化和语言。让这个地方给你留下终生的印象。珍惜所有的经历——好的或坏的。最后,当一切结束时,不要因为结束而悲伤。要为曾经经历过而高兴!
