【推荐1】My friend, Amy, once said to me, “Travelling alone is a life changing experience.” I travelled alone a lot when I was in my early 20s and I loved it. The experiences of travelling alone really make me more adventurous (有冒险精神的). I think everyone should try at least once in their lives. Now I’m married. I go everywhere with my husband and it’s just not the same. The feeling of being on an adventure has gone. I miss travelling alone.

I then thought of my first solo (单独的) trip to South America. I went to South America and stayed there for six months. I find travelling with other people is not as exciting as travelling by myself. I don’t meet adventures with them but I can experience a lot when travelling alone. When travelling alone, I can choose what I will do next at any time. I can visit a place that I didn’t plan to see before. I can go there without having to agree with anyone first. I try to work out all my problems on my own and I become more independent (独立的).

However, there is just one thing that is not so good for me. I always hope that there are good hotels and safe transport routes (路线) in the places I will visit. So every time before I begin my solo trip, I have to make sure the hotel is good and the transport routes are safe.

3. During her first solo trip the writer stayed in South America for ________.
