Please Don’t Be Afraid To Travel On Your Own

You want to travel. You make an unclear plan.    1    But either way, you’re leaving in six months time. You start doing research every single night.

Of course, as this will be your first ‘real’ travel experience, you naturally prefer to travel with other people.    2    But the first friend you ask, perhaps your closest friend, turns you down and so you move on to the next friend.    3    The third friend, the fourth friend and even that guy that you don’t really like say no as well.

    4    You hope that one of your friends will change their mind and decide to join you. Maybe you decide to forget about your trip altogether, fully believing that you can only travel so far away from home with a friend or travel companion (同伴) by your side.

Don’t give up just yet. Here’s my advice to you. You may be on your own when you board that flight to Bangkok or Mexico City, but believe me, once you arrive, you’ll never actually be alone. That’s how travel works. Unless you stare at the ground and never talk to anyone, you’re going to meet people when you travel, lots and lots of people from all over the world.    5    

A．Don’t give it up.

B．Maybe you’ll fly to Thailand or to Mexico.

C．Meeting new people is one of the worst things to do.

D．But they too, tell you they have no interest to join you at all.

E．They will be interested in meeting and hanging out with you.

F．So you start asking your friends to join you in your journey.

G．Maybe you decide to put off your trip for another six months.
