With summer vacation right around the corner, many people are planning to travel abroad.
Some of them take an overseas trip with their friends and family while others join package tours
to visit foreign countries. Nowadays, many young people prefer a backpacking trip abroad.
Since backpacking is a new form of tourism and getting more popular among young people,
experienced travelers have some suggestions for those would-be backpackers.
First, plan your budget and prepare the required travel documents. You need to figure out in
advance how much your trip may cost you. Remember to check with banks and find out the usage
of ATM cards and the exchange rate so that you have enough money before the trip. Then, make
sure to have travel documents such as a passport and visa on hand. It is also good to leave a copy
of these documents to a family member whom you can contact in case of emergency.
Second, choose accommodation that is close to public transportation. In Taiwan, for
example, backpackers can easily travel by using such public transportation systems as trains,
buses, the High Speed Rail, and the Mass Rapid Transit in major cities. With convenient
transportation, backpackers can save their time and energy to move from nearby stations to
hotels, hostels, or tourist attractions.
Third and finally, do not be shy; try to make friends, taste the local food, and visit
sightseeing spots when you arrive at a destination. In this manner, your adventures will help you
experience more about foreign cultures and lifestyles, thus helping you feel refreshed both
physically and spiritually.
Go ahead and take on the backpacking challenge. It is certainly a chance for you to prove
yourself ready for this new style of tourism. 【題組】37. What is the main purpose of the passage?
