《再窮也要去旅行》

龍貓 , 我也来支持了!!! keke...



自從於新馬兩地發行的《再苦也要去旅行》,作者黃愛琳就不間斷高居排行榜,更深受新馬兩地讀者熱烈支持,如今《再窮也要去旅行》再次出擊!
雖然 《再窮也要去旅行》已於2006 年在中國出版,由於口碑與支持率節節攀升,更在2008 年被媒體評選為中國改革開放30 年,入選最有影響力的300 本書之一(其中還有蔡瀾著的《蔡瀾談吃》、歐陽應霽著的《回家真好》等),一直到三年後的今天,故鄉馬來西亞的讀者,終於能夠一同分享黃愛琳越窮越踏實的 人生旅程。

真摯的260 頁旅遊點滴,圖文並茂的性情女子剖白,不得不佩服來自沙巴州的黃愛琳,秉持自己最純粹的旅遊目標,不停在中國、泰國、西藏,甚至歐洲數個國家,世上有多少 個華裔女子,能在年華時分放下一切,投入世界的懷抱呢?《再窮也要去旅行》要告訴大家,旅行是一種行動,而行動之前往往都是一線之間的信念。這個年代,誰 都能去旅行!

《再窮也要去旅行》是繼《再苦也要去旅行》之後,推出的女生背包游世界第二輯的遊記。作為一個長期旅人,愛琳以簡單的文字和 自身的真實經歷,真誠告白托盤她從東亞走到西亞所遇見的文化衝擊,她一路走來的旅途經歷讓人如同身受、心情隨著故事起伏,包括她在異地痛失親人、她的異國 戀情等。

在本書的後記,黃愛琳表白不同與普通旅遊者的感想,彷彿是遊走多年後的心情昇華,不僅僅是旅途中看熱鬧,更是完全融入每個目的地,感受再感受,領悟再領悟:

我 熱愛旅行,剛開始時,其實我也是跟一般人一樣,抱著興奮與期待的心情去旅行,到旅遊景點觀光拍照,買紀念品。不同的是,背包式的旅行有更多的驚喜和冒險, 同時也有機會接觸當地的人,對當地的文化及風俗可以有更進一步的瞭解。後來,旅行的日子久了,紀念品就越買越少,遊客多的地方就會去得越少,我知道自己對 旅行的定義已經漸漸改變,心裡開始瞭解旅行所帶來的真正的意義。

*愛琳·說

背 包旅行對有些人而言,是一輩子最重要的事情,從而學習並提升生活內涵。性情女子黃愛琳於再窮的旅途,同樣能泰然自若在印度智斗狡猾的商人、天天在英國的公 園吃便當度日,即使在西藏險些丟了性命,也無法捨棄旅行的信念。與旅途中結識的法國情人分離再分離;最後更不得見母親最後一面,只能在荒島上崩潰再振 作‥‥“旅途再窮,也不能窮心靈。”
