我想我是真的喜歡旅行

對我來說旅行不是走馬看花,而是用心去體會所看到的事物

雙子座其實不太會主動跟人家聊天

但有時我真的想跟人家攀談或想深入知道一些只有當地人知道的事情時

我也還是會鼓起勇氣去跟別人聊天的

在旅行當中我發現歐美的老人家蠻勇於出國自助旅行的說

雖然他們也會去參加local tour, 但除此之外其他行程都是不假他人之手

這點跟台灣老人家們都喜歡跟團的不太一樣

我自己的英國朋友一對老夫妻,兩人都早已年滿70歲

老先生一隻腳還有點不太方便行走

但兩人還是趁著有生之年,雙腳還走得動的時候有機會就出國走走

我很佩服他們的精神,還有他們的感情

我也不知道等我老了以後,身邊是否會有個人和我扶持著一起出國旅遊

但我可以確定的是, 不論到時身邊是否有個伴,只有我還走得動我就不會放棄我想旅行的念頭

What does travel mean to me?

This is what I've been thinking during the time that I'm traveling in Scotland right now.

Thanks for the beautiful landscape here in Scotland and clear air to get my head straight clear out my mind.

For me, traveling is not about the number of the countries that I've been to.

Or if I've been to any famous, must seen location.

What I like is to really get deep into the life of the local people.

Even that mean I'll have to the strangers.

(Yes, I'm a Gemini, our real personality aren't really out going like to talk to people first)

Talking to the local you'll able to get to know some secret spot or really nice food that only local knows.

One thing that I notice about after I traveling all these years.

Western old couples are tend to just travel on their own while the pensioner in Taiwan prefer to join a group with travel agency.

Of course some western pensioners they sign up with the local tour company.

However, basically they plan the whole trip pretty much all by themself. 

My British friends Geradine and Frank both are 70ish years old.

Frank have problem on one of his leg couldn't walk really fast.

Despite the fact of the codition like this, they still try to go travel every year.

They just want to travel together while they still can.

I admire of their spirit indeed.

Although I'm not sure about if there will be someone to holding my hand and traveling with me when I'm older.

But one thing I know for certain, as long as I'm alive and healthy.

I would definitely travel as much as I want as I don't want to regret that I didn't enjoy my life enough when I become an old lady.
