Тексты:

Текст А: Whenever you find yourself in a new place, fellow travelers often inquire about five standard questions: Where are you from? Where are you headed? Where have you visited? How long are you traveling for? How long will you stay here? After spending five years, or even just five days, it becomes tiresome to repeatedly answer these inquiries. It becomes a routine. However, I've decided to change things up a bit. When someone asks me one of these questions, I respond by asking about their favorite color or the least enjoyable place they have ever encountered. It adds a refreshing twist compared to the usual "what do you do back home?" question.

Текст B: Meeting wonderful individuals while traveling is an incredible experience, but it can be disheartening when they depart the next day. The uncertainty of whether our paths will cross again adds to the mix of emotions. It's truly enjoyable to encounter so many amazing people on the journey, but the constant goodbyes, especially when you've just started to connect with someone, can leave a sense of sadness. It's like a snowball effect of fleeting encounters. I've had the pleasure of meeting numerous extraordinary people during my travels, and while those moments were filled with joy and meaning, perhaps they were meant to be brief. Nonetheless, having some consistency and enjoying the companionship of a friend for a little longer would be a welcomed change.

Текст С: In the backpacking world, every night is either someone's first or last, providing a perfect excuse to go out and have a great time. I've had my fair share of celebrations, and I must say, it's fantastic when you're just embarking on your journey. The excitement of the road, the novelty of everything, and the opportunity to meet new people – it's all exhilarating. However, after a few months, the constant partying becomes monotonous and uninteresting. The repetitive nature of always seeking fun starts to wear thin, as if it's the only activity available in the world. Can't we venture out and engage in other experiences?

Текст D: No matter how much you travel, there's always someone who has traveled more. Even after five years of backpacking around the world, I've come across individuals who have spent six, seven, or even eight years with nothing but a backpack. However, what I dislike is when unsolicited opinions are thrust upon you regarding where you should or shouldn't go. It's equally bothersome when people try to educate you about the history of a place, as if they have all the answers. Nobody appreciates a show-off. I often choose not to correct people simply because I don't want to be perceived as that person.

Текст E: I've been backpacking for over five years now, and that's quite a substantial amount of time to be constantly on the move, living out of a backpack, and embracing budget travel. Most days, I genuinely enjoy this adventurous lifestyle and have a deep appreciation for backpacking. It's a source of joy, social connections, and the opportunity to encounter extraordinary individuals. However, there are moments when the little annoyances can get to you, especially when encountering rude and inconsiderate people. Backpacking is an incredible way of life, and like any lifestyle, it has its highs and lows. Fortunately, I consider myself fortunate that the positive experiences far outweigh the challenges.

Текст F: My initial aspiration to become a backpacker was fueled by the allure of adventure and exploration. I admired the notion of embarking on a journey to witness the wonders of the world, uncover its hidden treasures, and engage with locals in authentic ways. However, I've come to realize that this idealized image doesn't always align with reality. Nowadays, many backpackers tend to stick to well-established travel routes that have been traversed by countless others before them. They simply follow the crowd. While there is certainly merit in visiting popular destinations like Thailand or Paris, which have their own charm and appeal, I believe it's important to nurture a sense of curiosity and wander off the beaten path from time to time. There is a world of random and lesser-known places waiting to be explored, offering unique experiences and unexpected discoveries.

Текст G: It is unfortunate that some travelers feel the need to elevate themselves by engaging in discussions about the duration of their travels or the number of countries they have visited, as if traveling were a competition. They proudly display flags on their bags, symbolizing the countries they have been to, in an attempt to showcase their perceived awesomeness for having explored so many places. However, the truth is that the number of countries one has visited does not determine the worth or value of their journey. Whether someone has traveled to four, nineteen, or one hundred and fifty countries, each individual's journey is unique and holds equal significance. It is important to remember that the joy of travel lies not in the quantity of destinations visited, but in the personal experiences, growth, and connections made along the way.
