Question

I am 22.I used to work in a hotel.It was boring.

One day a guest and I had a conversation.She asked me,“Do you like your job?” I was sad because I knew the answer is “No.”

She was 74 and gave me the most beautiful advice that I remember in all my life:“You are too young to hate your job,young man.Go to get your passport and start your adventure(冒險).”So I did.

Since I was a little kid I was dreaming to know Europe.So next day I had my passport.And one week later,my plane tickets.

It was impossible to have a long holiday.So I resigned(辭職).My boss said I was crazy.My friends said that I was not responsible(有責(zé)任的).I just paid no attention to those voices.

It was Europe in winter.Not the best time to travel there.But Europe in winter is really cheap.

I packed some books,a camera,four shirts,two pants,a coat,gloves,two pairs of walking shoes,candies and music to give away.

I had little money.I just walked and walked.I went to high mountains and big cities. I saw some beautiful sunsets(日落).I heard some of the best musicians(for free).I discovered that there was still love in the world.I realized that sunrises are not always blue or yellow.Sometimes they mix.

I spent 22 days and $1,500 (including the plane tickets).What I did to save money:

1.Used Couchsurfing(沙發(fā)客).

2.Ate 20-cents bread.

3.Went to Burger King to get free potato chips and water.

4.Learned to cook.

5.Talked with local(當(dāng)?shù)氐? people.They always know where to do cool and cheap things.

6.Only went to free museums(only in England).

Until this point in my life,I never had a clear idea of how to deal with my life.Now I do.I want to be a photographer so that I can inspire(激勵) people with my pictures.Thanks to this travel.Thanks to that lady.
