春暖花开的时候,在蠢蠢欲动的阳光下,总想要把蠢蠢欲动的心飞出去晒晒,想要去远行。。。
So my first question is do you like traveling?
Then which kind of travel do you like?
Last do you know the backpacker and Couchsurfing ?
is a form of low-cost, independent international travel. It includes the use of a backpack or other luggage that is easily carried for long distances or long periods of time, the use of public transport, inexpensive lodging such as youth hotels, a longer duration to the trip pared with conventional vacations and an interest in meeting the locals as well as seeing the sights. It is typically associated with young adults who generally have fewer obligations and thus more time to travel. They also have less money to spend on hotels or private vehicles. It may include wildness adventures or be limited to travel within settled areas.
Backpacking
The definition of a backpacker has evolved as travelers from different culture and regions participate. A 2007 paper said "backpackers constituted a heterogeneous group with respect to the diversity of rationales and meanings attached to their travel experiences. They also displayed mitment to a non-institutionalized form of travel which was central to their self-identification as backpackers." Backpacking as a lifestyle and as a business has grown considerably in the 2000s as a result of low-cost airlines and hostels or budget modations in many parts of the world.
与背包客一词广泛运用的还有其他类似的词,例如中国多称呼为驴友,驴友的出处说法不一,一种说法是旅行与驴行,而驴又擅长耐力地走路,所以徒步旅行者都以驴友互称,有时候数人数,以一头一头来作计量。驴友一般喜结伴出行,有的准备帐篷、睡袋,露宿在山间旷野。另一种说法是,取自“旅友”的谐音,即旅行之友的意思。台湾多称呼他们为自助旅行玩家或自助旅游者,香港则以英文Backpacker直接称呼他们。
History
The concept of modern backpacking can be traced, at least partially, to the Hippie trail of the 1960s and ‘70s. In fact, some backpackers today seek to recreate that journey, though in a fortable manner. Seventeenth-century Italian adventurer Giovanni Francesco Gamely Careri has been considered one of the world’s first backpackers by some authorities.
