Where there’s a will, there’s a way. 有志者，事竟成。

I had such an eventful week in Switzerland. Not only did I make new friends, go sightseeing and enjoy some amazing local food but I also got to see friends who I met on my previous trip. 

我在瑞士度过了好充实的一周，我不仅交了新朋友、去观光、还去享受了许多美妙的食物，甚至见了我在之前旅行认识的朋友。

I met Patricia in May, 2019,  when I was visiting Ibiza. We were sharing the same room in the hostel and Patricia was very outgoing so we immediately became friends. We’ve kept in touch since our meeting in Ibiza. That day she and her daughter came out of their way and drove to meet me in Lucerne, which is their favourite city. They invited me on a scenic boat ride before taking a cable car up to a very luxurious hotel in the mountains for drinks. The scenery was even more breathtaking when shared and enjoyed with a good friend! 

我在2019年5月的时候，在拜访伊比萨的时候遇见Patricia。我们住在同一间青年旅舍的同一间房。Patricia非常的外向，所以我们马上就成为了朋友。离开伊比萨之后我一直有联系。那天她和她女儿特别开车来鲁森来看我，鲁森也是他们最喜欢的城市。他们邀请我坐上了景观船，然后我们坐上了缆车到了山上一家非常奢华的酒店喝饮料。和一个好朋友在一起景色变得更美丽。

Many of my listeners tell me that they want to travel but often feel unable to because of kids and current family responsibilities. Patricia is living and breathing proof that it is possible to manage both. She is a single working mom who is also very well-traveled and never compromises on the things in life that matter to her. Like me, travel is her biggest passion! She told me about many amazing solo travel experiences as well as priceless journeys shared with her two kids on road trips. One of her most memorable family trips was an unplanned, ten day visit to Italy in her car. They left Switzerland without any bookings to their name, preferring to see where their journey took them each day. On one night, this meant an evening sleeping in the car; an experience her kids will no doubt remind her of for many years to come.   

我有很多听众告诉我，他们想要旅行然而因为他们的小孩还有当前的家庭责任他们没有办法。Patricia就是可以兼顾到这两者的活生生的例子。她是个在上班的单亲妈妈，然而她也游历了非常多国家也从不会和生活要事妥协。就像我一样，旅行是她最大的热情。她告诉我许多她独自旅行的美妙经验，甚至还有和她两个孩子一起的公路旅行。让她最印象深刻的其中一个家庭旅游就是一个没有计划的十天意大利之旅。他们没有预定任何房间，从瑞士离开就看看他们的旅行会带他们到什么地方去。有一晚，甚至要睡在车里，然而这是个绝对会让她的孩子接下来许多年都会提醒她的一个体验。

She and I both believe that where there’s a will, there’s a way. 

她和我都相信，有志者事竟成。

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

In the next episode I’ll be sharing a story of visiting the first podcast tower in Zurich, Switzerland.

敬请期待，还有好多故事呢！

下一集我会和你分享在苏黎世参观一个播客塔的故事。
