My heart is born to travel. 我的心生来就是要旅行。

I actually didn’t know there was a basement, at first. Yann took me downstairs to a huge and dimly lit laundry room and where the family hung their clothes to dry. It was very strange for me, since in Spain and in Asia, we hang most of our laundry to dry in the sun outside. Being in this laundry room made me realize how dirty my clothes were -- I only had three sets of clothes and I hadn’t washed them in a week! Unfortunately, my awkwardness got the better of me, and I decided against asking to use his washing machine. I would go on wearing these old clothes. When we walked out of the laundry room, Yann led me to another door and told me to close my eyes.

事实上，原先我不知道那里有一个地下室。Yann带我到地下室到一个好大的暗暗的洗衣室，那里是他的家人晾他们衣服的地方。其实在西班牙还有在亚洲，我们大多把我们的衣服晾在太阳下，所以这个感觉有点奇怪，但是在那个洗衣间里，我又想到因为旅行只有带三套衣服出来，一周在路上没洗衣服，我现在衣服很脏，但是我觉得实在有点别扭，所以我并没有问他要使用他的洗衣机。我就继续穿我的髒衣服吧。当我们走出洗衣室之后，Yann告诉我要闭上自己的眼睛。

When I opened my eyes again I saw a church. The house was actually connected to the church where Yann and his wife had been preaching. He told me he moved here twenty years ago and the church gave him this house so he and his family could have a place to live. He told me that, because his son has grown up and moved away, he has a spare room to offer to guests. He has hosted guests like me from around the world in that room. In fact, he has made a point of only hosting guests from countries he didn’t know too much about.

当我又打开自己的眼睛我看到了一个教堂，原来房子是和他和他老婆传道的教堂是连在一起的。他告诉我他20年前搬来这里，教会送他们这个房子给他和他的家人住，但是他的儿子已经长大离开家，家里有一个空房可以给客人用。他就开始招待世界各地的人，事实上，他也强调他只提供给那些他不太认识的国家的人来住宿。

I was deeply touched by his story and I think he was an amazing man. 

他的故事让我很感动，而且我觉得他是一个很棒的人。

That night, Yann prepared dinner and we had a great chat about his previous guests, and the volunteer work he had done in Madagascar. He learned while he was there how delicious the food was and he had a special batch of chilis he had brought back. I had some of the chilis and I loved it. Then we went to his home office and planned my trip for the next day. Yann said the best way to travel in small towns in Switzerland is actually by hitchhiking. He then wrote Montreux on a piece of cardboard and insisted I take it with me. Though I decided against hitchhiking because I’m a bit timid, I was grateful for his help. 

那一晚，Yann准备晚餐然后我们聊之前他接待过的客人还有他在马达加斯加的志愿工作聊得好开心。他聊到那里的食物有多好吃，还有带回来一些那裡的辣椒醬。我嘗試了一些，而我好愛啊！然後我們去他的辦公室計畫我隔日的旅行，Yann说在瑞士小镇旅行的最好的方式是搭便车，他写下了蒙特勒在一块纸板上，然后坚持我带上。因为我有点害羞所以我还是没有去搭便车，但真的蛮感谢他的帮助。

I got up around 8am, and Yann had already sent me a text message that he had prepared breakfast for me downstairs. I went down and saw yogurt and toast laid on the table. And he had also prepared a sandwich and some dried mango for me to take with me on today’s trip. I was amazed by his hospitality. I was in one of the most expensive countries in the world, but I hardly paid a cent because of this man’s generosity. Though he gave away so much for free, I could tell he lived a richer life because of it.

我大概8点起床，然后接到Yann的简讯说他已经在楼下准备好了早餐。我下楼然后看到优格和吐司已经摆放在餐桌上。他还准备了一个三明治和芒果干给我旅行带着。我真的对他的好客感觉到非常的惊奇。我在世界上最贵的国家之一，然而因为Yann的慷慨，到现在我还没花到一毛钱。他给别人好多东西，然而我可以说他因为这样过上了更富足的生活。

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