【文章分享】100 little things that travel has taught me 旅行教会你的100件小事
http://www.travelettes.net/100-little-things-that-travel-has-taught-me/
Travel has been one of my most valuable teachers. Rather than sit in a classroom and learn about the world through a someone else’s eyes, I did it through adventures and misadventures, tears and laughter. I know I still have so much to discover, but here are some lessons that sometimes I had to learn the hard way. Some of them I already kinda knew, some I are silly, some are serious, some are obvious, and some are embarrassing. Maybe this collection will help open up new doors in your own life and own travels, and although we will all learn our own lessons, I hope maybe I will help someone avoid some of my mistakes (example: #14). Happy travels!

带个迷你针线包。
Calm down. Just because you can’t post about it online does not make it less real.
冷静。只不过是不能发微博（请允许我根据国情意译）而已，这不会让它变得不真实的。
No one ever said travel is easy. We all get lonely and homesick.
没有人说旅行是轻松的。我们都会寂寞和想家。
No matter what your beliefs are, respect the local culture. You are a guest.
不管你信仰的是什么，请尊重当地文化。你是个客人。
Once you get home, print out some of your favorite photos. When you’re old, are you going to want to pull up your old Facebook page to show your grandkids the pictures, or would you rather pull out a box full of treasures?
一会到家，马上把你最喜欢的照片打印出来。当你老了，你是想拉出你的脸书页面给孙子看你的照片，还是宁愿拿出一盒子的宝物呢？
Wear sunscreen.
记得涂防晒霜。
If you get sunburned, immediately pop an ibprofin, take a cold shower, and slather yourself with sunscreen when you get out. You know how when you get out of the sun you keep on turning redder? These things will stop the burn from intensifying.
如果晒伤了，立即涂消炎药（这句不理解）、冲个凉水澡，外出时涂满防晒霜。当你外出被太阳晒到的时候，知道为什么皮肤会变红吗？这可以防止晒伤的加剧。
Ziploc bags do come in handy. As do credit cards.
密封袋要随手能拿出来。信用卡也是。
Skinny dip in tropical water under a full moon at least once.

Riding camels is AWESOME! (And just a little stinky. But mostly awesome.)
骑骆驼棒极了！（虽然有一点臭，但大多数时候是非常棒的。）
Stick to your fitness routine. Yoga on the road helps me so much. Even five minutes every morning of stretching makes a difference.
坚持你的健身计划。在旅途上瑜伽给我很大好处。即使早上五分钟的伸展运动会也会给你好处。
Flipflops come and go. It’s better not to get too attached.
快门声响来响去的。最好不要太沉迷拍照。
Its simpler to pack lots of accessories, than it is to pack lots of clothes. Plus you’ll pick up new threads on the road anyways.
带备很多日用品比带备很多衣服要简单。而且在路上你还会买新衣服。
A day spent doing nothing in a hammock is a day well spent.
躺在吊床上什么都不做的一天，是不错的一天。
There are always more mistakes to be made, more lessons to learn, more adventure to be had, and more sunsets to watch. If there is a way to travel without making mistakes, learning lessons, having adventures, and watching sunsets, then I don’t want to do it.
总有更多错误要犯，更多教训要学，更多冒险要去闯，还有更多日落要去看。如果有一趟没有错误、没有教训、没有冒险，也没有日落的旅程，那么我不要去。
