一个人旅游 Tavelling alone

时常到了某一个国家,遇到的人,都会问:“你一个人旅游会危险吗?”有时他们也会说:“好厉害,一个人旅游,胆子真大”。我想人们想太多,顾虑太多。有时候,想做就去做,顾虑太多,反而成不了事。加上一个人旅游,自由自在,不需花时间考虑另一个人的兴趣与行程,这样会节省很多时间,同时也没有多一个人来和你发生冲突。累了,要停下也容易。不怕耽误了别人,坏了他们的兴致。

有时选择一个人旅游,是为了能静静的思考,给自己一个空间,不受干扰的去想。有时是因为找不到志同道合的朋友一起旅游。有时因为朋友们都有事业,有家庭,不能像我一般,能随意出游。

有人羡慕这种自由的生活,但万物的一切都有因果。一个人总是孤单的,说不孤独的人,活得够潇洒,我很普通,没有潇洒,也不完全孤单,只是选择了自由。

I was often asked if travelling alone is dangerous, sometimes I received praises that its bravery to be able to travel alone as a single female. My philosophy is rather simple, if you put too much consideration into your decision it will distrupt it to a certain level. Giving too much consideration will hold you back from actualising the act itself. Travelling alone has its pros and cons. It allows you to decide you own itinerary thus saving time on travel planning. Travelling alone also reduces possible conflict, even travelling with the closest members of your heart, conflict is unforeseeable and unavoidable. The pleasure of travelling alone is you can choose and decide when to stop to take a break without hindering or distrupting the interest or progress of the other party.

Traveling alone gives you time and space to do soul searching and reflects. Sometimes it's because you could not find the right people of the same interest to travel with you. Other times your friends have family and work commitment and cannot commit to a plan like yours.

Some people envy the carefree life I have, however, its not absolutely as carefree as it seem. Travelling alone can be lonely. I do not have a carefree heart. I'm neither. I chose freedom over travelling with a companion. But I do wish there is someone that I absolutely adore by my side when I'm experiencing life.

When I was in jc, my girlpals said they would never be caught dead eating alone or watching movies alone. I went along to everything with a friend, from plays to movies and even the library. I'd always wanted to watch indie films and arthouse but none of them found them interesting. When they did try they gave up or felt interactive theater was way too "stupid". So one day I went to dinner alone. And then I went to watch a movie alone. And then I went to shop alone and I realized what I had been missing out. The world was alive and I didn't have a chance to notice it when I was looking at it from my divided attention. I saw 5 different ways a person walked up to the ticketing counter to buy tickets. I saw how people ate as couples, some without a word, others robust, or a clearly dominant person in the conversation. I saw how different people were when they were waiting n after their friends appeared. Then I asked me, how did I look to another person watching the world go by. Who was I to a stranger? That day was the most therapeutic day in my life. I also realized the loneliness of being by yourself but it's worse when you have the same loneliness when you're sitting and talking to someone who is as close as family but where connection is lacking.

I have traveled with a companion (boyfriend, later husband) and I have traveled alone. Actually, the best trips I have taken have been as a solo traveler, but then meeting up with friends in the target destination. I have also traveled totally alone, with no friends to visit on the other end. That way of travel gets too lonely too quickly. I like sharing my experiences with others, but also having the freedom to have some time on my own. That is the best of both worlds. When I visit Hong Kong for the first time next year, I hope there will be a few friends waiting to show me the town when I get there. :-)
