Be a
Traveler, not a Tourist
Last summer, I had just enough money saved to buy a golden ticket—a
3-month train pass that would take me to the furthest reaches of Europe. Excited
for my journey, I packed all the necessities(生活的必需品)—except the 1.
While the convenience of the Internet was definitely a contributing
factor to my 2not to take with me the few expensive kilograms
of out-of-date information, this was not the only reason why I decided to fly alone.
To be honest, my main 3with the guidebook is that I find it 4 the
pleasure of a journey—like bossy aunt who is always telling you what to do, 5 she
doesn't always know what is the best.
Experience has taught me that there is an obvious 6 between
a tourist and traveler.

a checklist. He showed me his list of "Top 20 Things To Do in Italy" and
7 off
in a loud American accent that he'd seen everything Italy has to offer in just four
days.

travelling was that he was too 9information provided by his guidebook. He
was lost in the 10 attractiveness
of the "must-sees" and 11 to
all the wonders and adventures that might happen during the 12 trip.

tiny Baltic country bordering Russia. In the 14 of

faces for advice. I 15myself first and then asked them what was
happening around the town. When this16 an
invitation to a beautiful Estonian home by a river where I 17 a
110-degree wood-stove sauna(桑拿浴), 18 picked
forest-mushrooms and the good 19 of our five newfound Estonian
friends, I was most glad that I had left my "bossy 20" at home.
