不要只去大城市

It's easy to mark the countries you pass through by going to a few prominent locations. But you will have a better time if you go to some of the smaller cities and explore them. There is less touristy, and usually a bit cheaper. Ask any locals you meet about their favorite lands, and you'll have great addresses in no time.

只要去几个著名的地方，就可以很容易地标出你所经过的国家。但是如果你去一些较小的城市去探索，你会过得更好。那里游客较少，而且通常会便宜一些。问问你遇到的任何当地人他们最喜欢的地方，你很快就会有很好的地址。

7. Always learn a bit of the local language

一定要学一点当地语言

There will be English speakers in most of the places you go. So there will never be too many language barriers. That said, in addition to being polite, you should learn to say a few things in the local language. "Hello", "goodbye" and "thank you" will come in handy sometime!

你去的大多数地方都会有说英语的人。所以永远不会有太多的语言障碍。也就是说，除了要有礼貌，你还应该学会用当地的语言说一些事情。“你好”、“再见”和“谢谢你”迟早会派上用场的。

8. Everything should be saved on Google Maps

所有内容都应该保存在谷歌地图上

如果你清楚地知道你想去哪里，你想看什么，你想做什么，这是很好的。但是详细计划一天中的每一小时的欧洲旅行可能会限制你的体验。

有时候，放松一下，离开“匆忙的生活”。你很有可能会遇到新朋友，或者去一些你从未听说过的地方，然后在最后一刻改变你的计划。
