女性獨自旅行的9條小貼士

Here are my 9 tips for solo travel if you're a girl:
如果你是個女孩子而且要獨自旅行，這兒有我給你的9條建議。

1. Be Prepared.
1、準備妥當。
A well-considered itinerary helps me feel secure and keeps me occupied. I do a lot of research and planning before I get on the bus or plane or train. At the very least, as a female travelling alone, you should book your first night of accommodation before your arrival at your destination.
經過深思熟慮的旅行日程會讓我覺得可靠，而且不會讓我閒着。在我登上大巴、飛機或火車之前，我會做大量的研究和規劃。至少，作爲一名獨自旅行的女性，你應該在到達目的地之前訂好你第一晚的住處。

2. Look Purposeful.
2、看起來志在必得。
Being prepared and knowing where you're going helps immensely with this. Don't show your ignorance, fear, and vulnerability while on the road -- it may encourage unwanted attention and invite others to take advantage of you. Bring a book to restaurants so you're not uncomfortably waiting for your food to come.
準備妥當，並瞭解你要去的地方，會對你的出行有極大的幫助。在路上的時候，不要表現出無知、恐懼或是脆弱，因爲這也許會帶來不必要的關注，讓其他人利用你。去餐廳的時候帶本書，這樣你在等待上餐的時候就不會覺得不舒服了。

3. Take Walking Tours.
3、徒步參觀。
Kill two birds with one stone: Learn about your destination and battle loneliness at the same time. Walking tours are a great way to orient yourself, as well as meet other adventure-seekers discovering the same place as yourself. In all cases, strangers, became friends, at least for a little while.
一箭雙鵰：瞭解你的目的地，同時與孤獨做鬥爭。徒步參觀是爲自己確定方向的一個好方法。而且，徒步參觀會在相同的地方發現和你一樣的探險者。不管在什麼情況下，陌生人都會成爲朋友，至少是一陣子的朋友。

4. Stay In Hostel And Be Sociable.
4、呆在旅舍中，多交際。
Most hostels have common rooms and host community building events. If sharing a room with strangers creeps you out, you can always stay in a private room -- many hostels have them. Prefer to stay in a hotel? No problem. Many hostels post events on their websites, and you don't necessarily have to be a guest to attend. Don't miss out on a prime opportunity to meet other travellers!
大多數旅舍都有公共休息室，而且會舉行社區建設活動。如果和陌生人分享一個房間會嚇着你，你可以一直呆在包間裏——許多旅舍都有包間。比較喜歡呆在酒店裏？沒問題。許多酒店會在他們的網站上公佈他們的活動，不是客人你也可以參加。不要錯過與其他遊客碰面的好機會。

5. Dress Appropriately.
5、穿着得體。
Yes, I know we should be able to dress any way we want. But try to conform, at least with your clothing, to cultural norms, and dress conservatively in countries (and/or tourist sites) where it is expected.
是的，我知道我們可以按自己想要的方式打扮。但是至少儘量讓你的服飾符合文化規範，在要求穿着保守的國家和（或）景區穿的保守一些。

6. Be In Touch.
6、保持聯繫。
Always have an emergency contact number at hand, and let people at home know your whereabouts. A simple but good idea would be to take a few index cards and write down all pertinent contact information that can be used by yourself and/or others in case tragedy strikes. Keep them on your person and distribute in case of emergency.
手邊始終要有一個緊急聯繫電話，讓家裏的人知道你的行蹤。一個簡單的好方法是拿幾張索引卡片，寫下你自己可能會用到的所有相關聯繫方式，和（或）萬一發生其他不幸的事情時，會用到的聯繫方式。隨身攜帶這些卡片，在緊急情況下分發下去。

7. Avoid Negative Attention.
7、迴避負面關注。
Sometimes negative attention, in particular from males, cannot be helped. My simple rule is to not engage: I ignore, I deflect, I keep it moving. I don't respond to taunts or negativity. I remove myself quickly from situations where I am a target.
有時候，負面關注，尤其是來自男性的關注，可能是沒有法子的。我的簡單原則是，不要參與：忽視它，轉向一邊，不斷移動。我不會響應嘲弄或否定。我會迅速遠離以我爲目標的處境。

8. Find A Sister In Crime.
8、找一個同行的姐妹。
Who better to understand your plight, your fears, and your concerns than another female travelling on her own?
誰會比另一個獨自旅行的女性更理解你的境況、恐懼和擔心呢？

9. Let your hair down and enjoy!
9、輕鬆點，玩得愉快！
This goes without saying. Live in the moment. Embrace the experience. And learn to relish in the luxury of your own company.
這是不言而喻的。活在當下，欣然接受你的經歷，學會享受獨處的樂趣。
