世界那么大，你应该去看看

现在网上不是流行那么一句话么，说，世界那么大，我想去看看。说的那么诗意唯美。随着生活节奏的加快，人们见到的只有每天挤公交的人群，只有早上透过雾霾隐约可见的太阳，只有晚上昏暗的路灯和匆忙的公交，连看一眼月亮星空的时间都没有。

恰逢，小编在逛quora的时候见有外国网友在quora上问 What is it like to quit your job, get a backpack and travel the world?

辞掉工作，背上背包就去环游世界，这是一种怎样的体验?

小编拍案大呼，这篇文章不正好可以放到这里和大家一起分享一下麽。于是乎，小编把文章拿来了。希望大家能够看完这篇文章之后能够对生活有一些规划，重新定位自己，找到生活的目标和热情。

Alright. It's my time to give my two cents.

好吧，是该我叨叨两句的时候了。

Short answer: It is awesome. Do it. You might be dead tomorrow. Do it ASAP.

简单地说：感觉太棒了。去旅行吧。说不定你明天就死了。所以尽早出发吧。

Long answer: I am 22. I used to work on a death-end hotel -front desk position.

I was tired.

I wasn't inspired.

详细地说：我22岁了，曾经在胡同尽头的一家旅馆工作——当前台。

我很累。

活得一点激情都没有。

One day a guest and I had a long conversation. She asks me:

"Do you like your job?"

有一天，一位顾客和我聊了很久。她问我：

“你喜欢你的工作吗?

I was sad because I knew the answer. "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. Pay bills. Plan your retirement.

Go get your fucking passport and start your adventure. Don't wait to have my age."

So I did.

我很难过，因为我知道答案是“不喜欢。

她已经74岁了，给了我一个很棒的建议，令我今生难以忘怀：

“你还很年轻，没到讨厌自己工作的时候。把账单还掉，工作辞掉。

把护照办好，然后出去闯一闯。不要等到我这个年纪。

于是我就照她说的去做了。

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.

我从小就梦想着能多了解一下欧洲。

于是第二天我就办了护照。一个星期以后，我就买好了去欧洲的机票。

I live in México. One month holidays does not exist.

So I quit my job.

我住在墨西哥。这世界上没哪个老板愿意给你一个月的假期。

于是我辞职了。

My boss said I was being crazy. My co-workers said that I was being "irresponsible".

I just ignored those voices and focused on planning my adventure.

我的老板说我疯了，同事说我“不靠谱。

这些我全不理会，只是专注地策划我的旅行。

It was Europe in winter. Not the best idea. I know. But Europe in winter is really cheap.

那时欧洲正值冬天，并不是旅行的最好时机。我知道，但冬天去欧洲旅行真的很便宜。

7. 同样拿来与人分享的墨西哥音乐;

9. 我的相机。(我有台单反，一直想学但总没时间)。
