學英語環遊世界

If traveling was free, you'd never see me again. 如果旅行是免费的，你就再也见不到我了。我自从2014年开始录制Podcast播客，然后2015年便开始因为Podcast播客开始的一些相关生意机会，而开始旅行。在那个时候，甚至一直到几年前在各地旅行的时候，仍然有很多人不知道什么是Podcast播客。现在我很开心播主已经变成了许多人追求的职业。我发现Podcast播客的时候是在2005年的夏天，那时我正在台北的英语广播电台做实习生。那时我非常想要增进我的英语能力，所以当我发现在Podcast播客里有许多真实英语的资源，我真的觉得我找到了金矿！2014年的时候，我开始录制了英语Podcast播客，几年后，我在西班牙巴塞罗那自家工作室里，教导许多外派人士和旅客制作Podcast播客，还有建立了一个播主的社群。录制Podcast播客不仅变成了我创作的工具，同时也是我疗愈的工具。我在分享自己故事、知识和经验中，找到了力量。所以当我在瑞士旅行的时候，我非常惊喜的发现在那里有一个活跃播主社群。所以我有一个机会见到当地的播主，并且参观他们正在建造的一个播客塔（Podcast Tower）。Katarina是我在那个播主团体里连结到的一个当地播主。她原本来自瑞典，住在瑞士苏黎世多年了。我们在他们建造的播客塔的合伙办公室里约吃午餐。在一边吃午餐的时候，我们聊到了各自是如何开始录制Podcast播客并且热衷于分享自己声音的故事。午餐之后，Katarina带我上楼，然后给我看他们建造录音室的地方。我看到有设备和架子在地上正准备安装。我真的很开心看到而且立即就想和我在巴塞罗那的社群朋友们分享这个消息。虽然我不认为必须要有一个录音室才能产出自己的Podcast播客（一个安静的环境就行），然而看到他们把想法变成现实让我十分兴奋。我祝福所有在瑞士的播主们，希望他们的社群越来越好和茁壮！敬请期待，还有好多故事呢！下一集我会和你分享我在奥地利因斯布鲁克认识朋友Felix的故事。搭乘火车一定会看到的用语！Waiting room 待车室（lounge 休息室）Left luggage office 行李保管室Lost property 遗失物品（Lost and Found）Request Stop 招手才会停车的站牌****本系列会将中英的版本分开录制，想要进行更深入的英语听力学习或训练，可以听伴随在中文版本的下一集。得到本集节目的中英文文本，预定环欧火车旅行的资讯和网站，当时的照片和影片甚至路线图，请关注公众微信IFLYCLUB，回复文字“环欧火车13”

Where there’s a will, there’s a way.

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.

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!

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.

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

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.

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

我在瑞士度過了好充實的一周，我不僅交了新朋友、去觀光、還去享受了許多美妙的食物，甚至見了我在之前旅行認識的朋友。

我在2019年5月的時候，在拜訪伊比薩的時候遇見Patricia。我們住在同一間青年旅捨的同一間房。Patricia非常的外向，所以我們馬上就成為了朋友。離開伊比薩之後我一直有聯繫。那天她和她女兒特別開車來魯森來看我，魯森也是他們最喜歡的城市。他們邀請我坐上了景觀船，然後我們坐上了纜車到了山上一家非常奢華的酒店喝飲料。和一個好朋友在一起景色變得更美麗。

我有很多聽眾告訴我，他們想要旅行然而因為他們的小孩還有當前的家庭責任他們沒有辦法。Patricia就是可以兼顧到這兩者的活生生的例子。她是個在上班的單親媽媽，然而她也遊歷了非常多國家也從不會和生活要事妥協。就像我一樣，旅行是她最大的熱情。她告訴我許多她獨自旅行的美妙經驗，甚至還有和她兩個孩子一起的公路旅行。讓她最印象深刻的其中一個家庭旅遊就是一個沒有計劃的十天意大利之旅。他們沒有預定任何房間，從瑞士離開就看看他們的旅行會帶他們到什麼地方去。有一晚，甚至要睡在車里，然而這是個絕對會讓她的孩子接下來許多年都會提醒她的一個體驗。

她和我都相信，有志者事竟成。

敬請期待，還有好多故事呢！

下一集我會和你分享在蘇黎世參觀一個播客塔的 故事。

搭乘火車一定會聽到這幾句話！

The next train to arrive at platform 2 is the 10:30 to Monaco. 2號月台即將抵達的是10點30分往摩納哥的列車。

The ten-fifteen train from London, going on to Oxford, will be late. 10點15分從倫敦出發前往牛津的列車將會延誤。

Most of the time, beauty lies in the simplest of things.

It was actually really nice to be able to go to the hosts’ place after my day’s visit. It gets dark really quickly during winters in Europe, usually before the end of the working day around 5pm. The weather was often miserably cold and rainy; just the sort of weather for returning to the host’s place where we either shared food or I cooked for them.

This time in Switzerland I even had the opportunity to share amazing special food from my hosts, like Matthew in Bern who taught me how to make Raclette, which looks like Swiss Grill with cheese using a special oven. While I stayed with Josh in Lucerne, who’s from Hawaii but lived in Switzerland for many years, he made lao lao, a Hawaiian meal wrapped with taro leaves. It was really impressive. I will never forget its fragrance and taste. It was so delicious too.

Josh was a very special man and he shared many stories with me. He was an artist and was really kind when we met. A few years ago, when Josh was a successful entrepreneur he experienced a tragic family bereavement which left him feeling sad, angry and lost. He made a few big lifestyle changes including moving to Switzerland and was now ready to share his stories so as to help other people heal. I have been a podcaster for many years and I want to use this knowledge to help others too. Over the years I've benefited tremendously by telling my own healing stories, helping others and making a living. One night, we sat down and created a podcast together and organized the ideas. It was a very beautiful moment that I will never forget.

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

In the next episode I’ll be sharing a story of a well-traveled single mom from Switzerland.

Most of the time, beauty lies in the simplest of things. 大多數時候，美存在於最簡單的事物中。

事實上，可以在一天的遊覽完畢時，回到我沙發主人的家感覺真的很好。在歐洲的冬天天黑的很快，差不多在一天結束工作之前就會全黑了。天氣也經常很冷又下雨。當天公不作美的時候，回到主人家可以一起分享食物或者我煮飯給他們吃，實在太棒了。

這次在瑞士我有幸能享受到來自我沙發主人許多美味又特別的食物，像是在Bern的Matthew教我如何吃Raclette，一種用使用特別烤盤和用奶酪製作的瑞士燒烤，還有當我在魯森和來自夏威夷的Josh一起分享他做的嘮嘮，是一種用芋頭葉子包起來的夏威夷傳統食物。真的超級棒。我永遠都不會忘記那個香味還有味道。吃起來也十分美味。

利用沙發衝浪的方式來省錢和分享食物雖然很棒，但是分享住在當地人們的生活和交換彼此的經驗是什麼也比不上的。對於我來說，也是一個可以分享和貢獻我經驗和知識的機會。

Josh是一個非常特別的人，他和我分享了許多故事。他是一個藝術家而且當我們見面的時候非常的友善。幾年前，Josh是個成功的生意人卻遭遇了一個悲劇般的喪親事件讓他傷心、生氣又失落。他做了許多生活型態的大改變，其中包括搬到瑞士來，現在他也準備好分享自己的故事來幫助別人療癒。我作為一個播主已經多年，而且我也希望用我的知識來幫助別人。幾年來，我也受益於講述自己的療癒故事，幫助別人來謀生。有一晚，我們就坐下來幫助他創造一個播客然後組織一些想法。那是一個非常美麗，而且讓我永遠不會忘記的時刻。

敬請期待，還有好多故事呢！

下一集我會和你分享一個旅行經驗非常豐富的瑞士單親媽媽的故事。

搭乘火車一定會聽到這幾句話！

Attention passengers, the ten-oh five train to Manchester is now leaving from track two. 各位旅客，10點5分出發往曼徹斯特的列車在2號月台馬上就要出發了。

Attention passengers, the train for Salzburg, departing at 5:24 will be arriving shortly. 各位旅客，5點24分出發往薩爾斯堡的列車即將到站。

Not all classrooms have four walls.

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.

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

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.

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.
