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 as I answered, "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. "
So I did.
Since I was a little kid, I was dreaming to know Europe. So the next day I had my passport. And one week later, my plane tickets.
It was impossible to have a long holiday. So I resigned(辞职). My boss said I was crazy. My friends said that I was not responsible(负责的). I just paid no attention to those voices.
I packed some books, a camera, 4 shirts, 2 pants, a coat, gloves, 2 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. I heard some of the best music (for free). I discovered that there was still love in the world. I realised 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:
●Used Couch Surfing(沙发客).
●Ate 20-cent bread.
●Went to Burger King to get free potato chips and water.
●Learned to cook.
●Talked with local people. They always know good places to do cool and cheap stuff(事情).
●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(激励) people with my pictures. Thanks to this travel. Thanks to that lady.
