Not all classrooms have four walls. 不是所有的教室都有四堵墙。山和海也是课堂。

On the way to Bern, I was communicating with my other Couchsurfing host and he said he could not greet me at his house because he was having a Hebrew lesson. So he met me at the station and gave me his key and address and he left! Another adventure began. It was a cold, rainy November evening and the road to his apartment was really dark. When I finally opened the door, I saw a lovely cozy apartment complete with a cat. 

在去伯恩的路上，我和我的沙发主人Matthew联系，他说因为他要去上希伯来语课，不能在家里迎接我，所以他在车站和我约见面，见到他后，他直接给了我他的钥匙还有家地址就离开了！另一个冒险又开始了，那是一个又冷又下雨的11月晚上，去他公寓的路真的好黑。然而当我终于打开他的家门，我看到一个很温暖可爱的公寓，还加上一只猫咪，实在太完美了。

So I was hanging out by myself until Matthew came home. He then made me Pasta and dessert. 

然后我就自己一个人打发时间直到主人Matthew回家。他煮了意大利面和甜点给我。

This wasn’t the first time on my travels when I was given house keys by someone I had only just met. It is something that you wouldn’t normally expect in daily life, especially if you believe the world to be as difficult and dangerous as it seems in the news. This complete trust in other people is a refreshing and much-needed contrast. I love being a traveler and I really appreciate the trust of people who were strangers at the time we met. Their generosity and trust changed the way I see the world. It opened my eyes to the world of possibilities just waiting to be discovered.

这并不是第一次在旅行的时候，刚认识的朋友给了我他们家里的钥匙。但这是在日常生活中你通常不会预料到的，特别是如果你相信这个世界就像电视新闻看到的那样困难与危险。这种完全的信任让人十分的耳目一新，而且也是这个社会非常需要的一种反差。我爱当一个旅行者，而且我很感激那些陌生人给我的信任。也因为他们的慷慨和信任让我改变了对世界的看法。也让我被这个世界等着被发现的机遇打开了眼界。

Stay tuned...there’s much more to come! 

In the next episode I’ll be taking a closer look at reasons why using couchsurfing benefitted my solo journey across Europe.
