Travel the World for Free
原来可以免费周游世界啊

World travel is cheap and easy.In fact, with a little practice and effort, you can travel the world for free.

环球旅行是一项既省钱又简单的事情。实际上,只需一点点行动和努力,你就可以免费环游世界。在这里,我和大家一起来分享一下免费旅游的心得。

1.Embrace the Simple Joy of Travel

1.把旅行搞得轻松愉快点

Travel frees you from the grind of daily routine.You will explore new places, meet new people, try new foods and learn things about the world — and yourself — that you never imagined were possible.The joy of new experience is the most wonderful thing about travel — and new experiences are free.Walk the streets of a city.Stop and chat with a local.People watch in a public park.Climb to the top of a hill and watch the sun set over the ocean.

旅游把你从繁琐的日常工作中解脱了出来。你可以探索新的地方,结交新的朋友,尝试没有吃过的食物,了解这个世界的新事物,甚至重新审视自我。这些都是你从未想过的。体验新鲜算是旅游的最大乐趣了。徜徉在一座陌生城市的街道上, 走走停停,和当地的人们聊聊天,在公园里看人们行走在景色中,登高远眺,去看海上日出,这一切都是新鲜的,而且是免费的。

2.Keep Your Needs To A Minimum

2.缩减你的需求

People need fresh air, healthy food, clean water, exercise, creative stimulation, companionship, self-esteem and a safe place to sleep.

人需要的是什么呢?是新鲜的空气,健康的食物,洁净的饮用水,人类还需要运动,灵感,伴侣,自我,以及一个安全的休憩之地。

All of these things are simple to obtain.Most of them are free.For fresh air, go outside.For exercise, take a walk.For creative stimulation, go somewhere new.For companionship, make a friend.For self-esteem, turn off your TV, breathe deep and open your spirit to the basic goodness of the world.

所有这些事情都很容易实现,而是它们中的大部分还都是免费的。新鲜的空气和运动只需外出散散步就可以获得,灵感的激发到一个新的地方自会出现。交朋友自会获得伴侣,关掉电视深呼吸,打开心灵面对世上的真善美,就会找到真正的自我了。

Things like food and shelter are much cheaper once you get outside the United States.See 5 below for ways to obtain food and shelter for free.

如果你去除美国之外的地方旅游,食物和住宿立刻就便宜了不少,下面第5条会告诉你如何获得免费的食宿。

3.Go Slow

3.放慢行走的脚步

If you live in New York and want to take a 2 week vacation to Africa, it will be very difficult (though not impossible, see number eight) to travel for free.

如果你住在纽约,想用两周的假期到非洲旅游,要想免费就实在不是件易事了(尽管不是完全不可能,请看第8条)。

Indeed, as long as you believe that time is money, you will spend money all the time.Time is not money.Time is free.You have all the time in the world.

实际上,只要你相信时间就是金钱,那么你就一直在花钱。时间并不是金钱,时间是免费的,你拥有世界上的一切时间。

Instead of buying a plane ticket, catch a ride out West, or remodel an old sailboat, or just hop on your bike and ride away from town.The slower you travel, the less money you will spend.

别买机票,而是骑马穿越西部;或者改造一条旧船,或者干脆骑自行车外出远行。你走的越慢,花的钱也就越少。

4.Leave Your Possessions and Obsessions Behind

4.御下一切负担

When you travel, you don’t need to pay rent.You don’t need a car.You don’t need an oven, a washer-dryer, electricity, Cable TV, a gym membership, a sofa and loveseat or a closet full of clothes.You don’t need a suit and tie to wear to your job because you don’t need a job.You don’t need to worry about paying the bills, because there are no bills to pay.You are free.

旅游的时候,你不需要付房租,汽车、微波炉、洗衣机、电、有线电视、健身会员卡、沙发和装满衣服的衣柜,这些你通通不需要。你也不必再西装革履,因为你已经不再工作了。你也不必担心要花钱,因为根本没有需要花钱的地方。 一切都是自由而免费的。

5.Trust People and you will Receive Free Food and Lodging

5.相信别人,你会得到免费的食宿

Many people are willing to open their homes to travelers, and they will give you a free meal, too.

很多人愿意打开家门迎接旅游的朋友们,他们还会为你提供免费的午餐。

CouchSurfing and WWOOF are two phenomenal online networks that help travelers connect with local hosts.CouchSurfing members are willing to give travelers a place to sleep for a night or two.WWOOF connects travelers with organic farmers who want to trade room and board for an extra hand.

CouchSurfing和WWOOF是两个热门的网站,驴友可以通过它联系到当地的接待家庭。CouchSurfing的用户都愿意为旅行者提供一个可以睡一两天的住处。WWOOF会联系驴友,当地的有机农场的农民愿意以超低价把房子租给你。

6.Learn a Useful Craft or Skill

6.掌握一种有用的技能

If you have a skill, such as cooking, animal husbandry, massage, musical ability or basic carpentry, you can barter for free food and accommodation as you travel.

如果你有一技之长,比如烹饪、饲养动物,按摩,音乐才能或一些基本的木工活,你就可以拿这些来换免费的食物和住处了。

Universally appreciated skills like cooking are best, though niche skills that are in high demand, like website design, are also useful.Native English speakers can often travel the world for free by teaching language classes in each destination they visit.

在大家普遍公认的技能里,烹饪是最受欢迎的。尽管一些像网页设计这样的高级技能也很有用。母语是英语的旅行者可以通过教英语来获得免费的旅游机会。

The slower you travel, the easier it will be to work out a mutually beneficial arrangement with a local community or host.

你走的越慢,越容易找到可以和当地社会或主人互利互益的方法。

7.Get Out of the City

7.到郊外去

Although it’s possible to travel for free in a big city, it’s damn difficult.

尽管你也可以在一座大城市免费旅行,但是这相对要困难些。

Go to the country, where people are more relaxed, food is plentiful and there’s ample room for one traveler to lay out her sleeping bag under the stars.

到郊外去,那里的人们过着轻松的生活,有充足的食物和宽敞的房间供旅行者享用,你甚至可以在外面露宿。

8.Find A Job You Love That Entails Travel

8.找份需要旅行的工作

If you need an income in order to pay off loans or support a child, find a job that calls for extensive travel.There are millions of jobs available in the global economy that demand travel.

如果你需要一笔收入来还贷款或养孩子,那就找份需要经常出差的工作吧,有好多工作需要环球旅行。

Of course, some jobs are easier to love than others, and much work that involves travel also involves the destruction of local ecosystems and traditional ways of life.Avoid unethical work if at all possible —it is bad for your health and worse for your soul.

当然,有些工作会让你更容易爱上它,当然那些包括旅游的工作也同样带来了当地生态系统的破坏和传统生活方式的改变。尽量避免做那些不道德的工作,它们不利于你的身心健康。

9.Embrace Serendipity

9.拥抱新发现

Traveling the world for free requires a blend of advance planning and the willingness to seize opportunities and go with the flow.

免费的环球旅行需要提前计划,以及随遇而安、抓住一切机会的态度。

Does your new CouchSurfing friend want company for a drive across the country? Grab your pack and ride along! Does an organic farm in Thailand need a farm sitter for the rainy season? Get in touch with Christian Shearer!

你在CouchSurfing上的新好友是不是想要一个驾车旅行的同伴?背上行囊立即出发吧!泰国有机农场是否需要一个雨季的农场看管员呢?到Christian Shearer网站看看去吧!

As Kurt Vonnegut wrote,“Peculiar travel suggestions are dancing lessons from God.”Go Dancing.

库尔特·冯内古特写过:“独特的旅行建议是上帝给我们的舞蹈课”。让我们跳起来吧!
