任务型阅读
Earlier this summer, after packing my rucksack for a wildcamping holiday, I gazed at my belongings, and made a final adjustment to the contents of my bag.
I quickly emailed my travel companion, a photographer friend called Jacob to make sure I could have some pictures of our trip afterwards, so I could pop a few up on Instagram when I returned. And then I set off, feeling—for the first time in a number of trips—that I was genuinely escaping the stresses and strains of my everyday life. Because the way stress locates us, these days, is via our phones.
However, I've realized that for a holiday really to function as a holiday, I need an escape from social status anxiety, from caring about "likes", and from having to photograph every tiny detail of life to prove our existence. When we overshare a glossy version of our trip online, we miss out on talking about our trips when we return, which is part of the joy of travel. Posting in the moment denies us this opportunity to relive (回味) our experience, and prolong that holiday feeling.
During my threeday Instabreak, my stress levels decrease quickly within 24 hours. I made mental notes of funny moments, cultural observations, tips and when I returned, I had interesting, detailed chats with friends about my time away.
A. I also changed how I processed the trip itself.
B. So I am fully supportive of screenfree holidays.
C. I took out my iPhone, and threw it under my bed.
D. I would lose track of my coworkers, my friends and my family.
E. None of them could touch me for the next three glorious days.
F. So this summer, as you plan your trip, ask if you can delete Instagram.
G. As a travel writer, abandoning my phone for my holiday felt like the extreme betrayal.
