嗨，我是歐西
總會被質疑為什麼要出國，好像在嫌臺灣不夠好
所謂旅行，是要看你自己怎麼去定義，
不代表一直出國就是不愛臺灣，
而是要讓自己更看清國外已經做到多少，反思我們能不能夠也做到。

As I travel the country on my current book tour and hear everyone's reasons for travel, I'm reminded of that experience.
幾年前，我在環遊世界時問人們，旅行對你們來說意義是什麼?
邊旅行寫書時，聽每個人旅行的原因，回想起那些經歷。
Travel means something different to every single person in the world.
旅行對世界上任何一個人來說是與眾不同的。
Many people travel the world to get the bug out of their system, or to check things off a list to say they've been there and done that. Some run to escape their problems. Some people travel simply to get drunk around the world.
很多人旅行是為了短暫逃離(快閃)他們的生活圈，或是完成一件待辦事項，代表著他們曾到過那裡。有些是為了逃避問題，而有些人只是沉醉在環遊世界中。
For me, travel means many things. Travel is freedom. It's about being able to do what I want and fill my day with excitement. Travel was an escape. Travel was "elsewhere". That place where exciting things and people resided. It was escaping the Matrix to learn about the world, why people do what they do, and how they act. It's about pushing myself to the limit and getting more comfortable in my own skin.
對我來說，旅行的意義有很多。旅行是自由的，我能夠決定我要做什麼來充實這一天。過去，旅行是逃避，只要去到別的地方就是旅行，有著刺激好玩的事和有人居住的地方。
旅行可以離開那環境去向世界學習，學習他們做的原因以及行為。旅行是在挑戰我的極限，也讓我外表底下的內心更自在。
But I wondered what motivates other people to do the same.
但我想只知道，其他人們的動力是不是也跟我一樣。
I have my theories of course.
我有我認為的道理
But I wanted to hear it from people directly.
但我想直接聽到人們告訴我
So, during an extended trip, I asked people I met on the road one question:
所以在我漫長的旅程哩，我問路上遇到的人們一個問題
"What does travel mean to you?"
對你來說旅行的意義是什麼？
And here is what they said:
而他們是這麼回答我的：
I loved hearing everyone's answers because it so accurately describes all the various reasons that push us to travel the world, learn about the people in it, and ourselves.
我喜歡聽到每個人的答案，因為很準確地描述，所有鼓勵他們旅行的各種原因，從人們和自己身上學到。
Now, tell me in the comments below:
