旅行有些令人害怕，但這也是為什麼你該去嘗試最好的原因 對於未知的事物是人都會有所恐懼，但旅行是最好的學習機會，它讓我們更認識自己、了解不同的文化、也讓我們成為更有智慧的人。

一個人的時候不必忍受去做自己不想做的事 一個人旅行時你可以自由掌控時間與行程，在任何想起床的時候起床，就算一大早想從容地度過、喝一杯熱咖啡、看一本書也不必感到壓力；如果下午想到草地上躺上一天，感受當地的氛圍也不必擔心是否有下一個行程必須趕去。

學會凡事靠自己 解決一個人到異地旅行時你才會發現自己其實是那麼勇敢而充滿力量，尤其是在一個語言不通的城市，你會學會仰賴直覺，沒有旁人可以詢問或依賴時才會激發內在那頭強壯的獅子。

你會遇見很多好人 一個人的時候你有更多機會與外人接觸，才會發現這個世界上有太多超乎自己想像的人們存在。那些不求回報的善心，無論是迷失方向時願意親自帶你走上一程的路人、才剛認識就願意為你付出的新朋友、甚至是無處可去時願意把家給你借住的陌生人

當你和朋友、家人或另一半一起旅行時，兩人自然而然的會互相依靠，產生出只要有對方就好了的心情是再正常不過的事，但卻也會讓你少了許多認識其他人的機會。

享受戰勝自己的心境 那種戰勝自己的心情是無可比擬的美好收穫，也會讓你對未來更勇敢無懼。

親身體驗不同的文化 唯有踏上旅途，你才會知道這個世界和你想像的有多麼不同。 我們對各個國家總是存有不同的刻板印象 實際到當地去，你會發現腦中文存有的刻板印象 衝擊你的思考

珍惜生命中那些小確幸。 當你一個人旅行的時候，你不需要被其他人的時間表約束，因此你可以有充分的時候好好欣賞你周圍的美好。像是日出、海浪的聲音、清新的海風，和小鳥的歌聲 – 這些都是當你一個人旅行才有的特權......

生活會變得更簡單 為了讓旅行更輕鬆，你會突然了解其實自己的生活根本就不需要那麼多東西。

快樂地做自己。 你必須學習要跟自己相處，而且要學會愛自己。如果你今天需要在一群情侶周圍用餐的話，你也不應該感到不自在或是寂寞。

重新認識自己並成長 你會突然發現自己是多麼的堅強而勇敢、你會花很多時間在與陌生人聊著生活因而更清楚自己未來的藍圖、你會學會更愛自己，因為你知道這個世界有多麼愛你、你會不再執著於過去的小事而專注於眼前的每一刻，因為一個人你才會明白自己有無限可能。

你會變得勇敢無懼 當我第一次獨自外出時，其實心裡非常害怕，但我知道不能讓恐懼癱瘓我的人生。 感到害怕是自然的情緒，這表示我們會想保護自己，但如果因此怯步的話，你會因此喪失許多認識自己與世界的機會，勇敢踏出去後你才會發現自己其實有無限可能。

旅行讓你學會活在當下 離開熟悉的環境就好像是重新打開自己的感官，眼前的一切都會使你想留心、深怕錯過什麼，不再像平常生活那般，總是再不自覺當中就過了一整天。

事先規劃 事先做好旅行計畫是給獨自旅行的旅人最實用的建議。不需要非常詳細的計劃，但至少要預訂好隔天的住宿。

行李簡便 行李盡量簡便，控制在1個人也能輕鬆攜帶的量。通常1個行李箱或後背包，足以應付旅行1至3周。

融入其他旅人 試著去認識其他旅人。背包客棧的多人房或是公共空間都是認識其他旅人的好地方，也可藉機獲得實用的旅行建議。

認識當地人 許多城市都提供免費的當地導遊，這是認識本地人的好方法。

外出並玩得盡興 晚上時也別害怕外出，可以去當地熱鬧的小酒館、聽音樂會或是看場電影。

報名課程 若會待在同個地方一段時間，不妨藉由上課來認識新朋友，可以選擇短期的語言課程或是烹飪課。

旅行安全很重要 一個人在出國前，若沒事先做功課，了解當地的當地文化、生活、習慣等相關規定，遇上危險的機會將大增。

不要害怕一个人的孤独感，克服恐惧也是人生中不可或缺的事，一个人外游能使你面对自己，你将会看到自己的优点、缺点，和一些你喜欢看到的事情。

习惯独自吃饭 因恐惧一个人吃饭而随便吃一些外卖快餐，实在对美食不敬!！放胆对着侍应说“一个人”吧，而且一个人外出吃饭是一个结交新朋友的好方法。

放下社交网 络放下社交网络是现代城市上最难做到的事，但 “玩失踪”并不一定是坏事，苦苦甜甜的感觉可能令你更懂珍惜。和家人朋友团聚那种快乐，可能成为你最渴望的事情。将你经历的故事都写在心上，取代发佈在网上，回家与他们分享时会更有新鲜感。将时间花在细心留意身边事物吧。

旅费的管理 没人与你分担饭钱房钱车钱，确实一个人旅行有时会比较贵，小心一点理财吧。不过，尝试想想它的好处，例如你不用与不大喜欢的人迫在一起困兽斗，阻碍了本是美好的冒险旅程。这才是无价的得着。

'The Golden Compass' became a bad experience because the studio didn't have faith in the strength of the ideas of the novel, which is ironic because it's one of the greatest fantasy novels ever written, if not the greatest, and they took the religion out of it and tried to turn it into a popcorn movie.

A hacker is someone who enjoys playful cleverness not necessarily with computers. The programmers in the old MIT free software community of the 60s and 70s referred to themselves as hackers.

To talk about balance, it's easier to talk about what's out of balance. And I think anytime that you have any disease, and disease meaning lack of ease, lack of flow... dis-ease. So any time there's disease, you're out of balance, whether it's jealousy, anger, greed, anxiety, fear.

Learn to write by doing it. Read widely and wisely. Increase your word power. Find your own individual voice though practicing constantly. Go through the world with your eyes and ears open and learn to express that experience in words.

We all can find something bad or imperfect in each other. But I prefer to look for grains of gold.

Nature never hurries atom by atom little by little she achieves her work. The lesson one learns from yachting or planting is the manners of nature patience with the delays of wind and sun delays of the seasons bad weather excess or lack of water.
