文章大意:本文是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍的是疫情后外出旅行探险的好去处。

4 . While there are still a lot of unknowns about the coming year, one thing is certain: we need an escape. With a vaccine (疫苗) finally greenlighted, the future of travel is looking up, but what will be the safest trips to take while the world is still in continuous change? Think wide open spaces, small-group adventures and responsible tourism. Playing it safe doesn’t mean you can’t get outside your comfort zone and have a novel adventure next year, though. Here are the friendly escapes we’re dreaming of right now.



01 The Great American E-Bike Trip
California to Georgia

Consider a human-powered road trip with a long cycling adventure—made more accessible with some power from an electric assist bike. Discover the beautiful and bizarre (奇异的), from the Mojave country on an e-bike-friendly tour. TDA Global Cycling’s Great American Road Trip can be done in full, or broken down to a 10-day trip to explore one region.



02 Swim with Whale Sharks
Espíritu Santo Island, Mexico

Dubbed “The Aquarium of the World” by Jacques Cousteau, the Sea of Cortez is one of the best spots in the world to swim with whale sharks and sea lions. Located in Mexico’s least-populated state, Baja California Sur, this island has a natural protected UNESCO World Heritage Site in the heart of it. There are no hotels, but Todos Santos Eco Adventures offers a solar-powered luxury camp experience on the island, private-chef included.



03 Soak in the Natural Wonders
Hokkaido, Japan

While the world waits for the 2021 Tokyo Olympics, consider Japan’s last-developed island as a refuge (庇护所) from the crowds. Rugged (崎岖的) and remote, Hokkaido is filled with unique natural wonders and adventures including trekking in untouched forests, fat biking on frozen lakes, soaking in onsens (温泉), or natural hot springs, and searching for the island’s rare red-crowned crane — the only place in Japan you can find the sacred bird.



04 See Kangaroo Island Bounce Back
Australia

Nearly a year after Australia’s bushfires destroyed over 200,000 hectares and killed billions of animals, new life is rising from the ashes. This 96-mile-long island is one of the best places to view Australia’s unique animals in the wild — kangaroos, koalas, wallabies and more. Support the recovery with regenerative (再生的) tourism, critical in reversing biodiversity loss. Swim with sea lions or sip some Jacob’s Creek local wine and watch the kangaroos bounce back.

A.You can learn how to do recycling on the way.
B.You can complete the trip in small separate sections.
C.You can build up your strength with a human-powered bike.

8 . When CAST AWAY producers wanted a survival consultant for Tom Hank’s tropical island scenes, they came to BOSS. When National Geographic Explorer wanted to film outdoor survival with industry experts, they came to BOSS. And when people feel the desire to learn traditional skills and explore the wilderness without dependence on modern equipment…they come to BOSS.

Since 1968, the Boulder Outdoor Survival School, the oldest and largest survival school in the world --- known to most simply as BOSS --- has delivered life-changing, wilderness-based experiences to adventurous people all over the world. Based out of corporate headquarters in Boulder, Colorado, we have a field office in Southern Utah’s small town of Boulder.

BOSS Courses range from 1 to 28 days in length in Utah, Colorado, and Mexico, and students range from 18 to 70 years old. Courses include field courses, skills courses, explorer courses, and custom courses. One of the reasons BOSS classes are small is to ensure that quality is maintained and that each person is given our full attention.

At BOSS, we recognize that the quality of your experience depends on the quality of your instructors. All instructors are selected for their sound judgment, strong leadership, interpersonal and communicative skills, and their broad knowledge of traditional living crafts and arts. And all instructors are offered a series of refresher-courses each year to help keep all relevant skills in top form.

True, you may never need to know how to make fire from sticks, or how to build shelters from leaves, but there is a part of all of us that benefit from this knowledge. It is only with this understanding of “primitive” philosophies and the wilderness that our culture can successfully move forward. If you are interested in walking along these paths of ancient wisdom and skill, we look forward to seeing you on the trail with us at BOSS.
