广西壮族自治区百色市德保县德保高中2023-2024学年高一下学期开学英语试题(音频暂未更新)
For most of my adult life, I've felt slightly ashamed not of something I've done, but of something I haven't, Although I'm an independent person who has been to numerous countries, I've never gone on an overseas holiday alone. I've traveled with my parents, partners, kids and other families.I've travelled with my pet and joined tours where knew no one but came out with lifelong friends.
But for a while, my failure to travel alone felt like a mistake. Solo travel 15 celebrated. I've seen a thousand pieces written by adventurous women who claim to have found themselves by crossing countries alone. Traveling solo makes you capable, they say. It pushes you out of your comfort zone. Every woman should travel alone at least once in her life!
And yet, I've never had an urge to do it. For, one thing, I need a lot of people contact. A single day without meaningful conversation can leave me feeling depressed. Proper, engaging conversation is difficult when traveling alone. Even it you re good at chatting with strangers, it isn't always possible. I don't want to worry about being alone on my travels. want support and company during my adventures. I used to see this desire to be with others as some sort of flaw,but now I see it as a valid choice.
Traveling solo builds resilience. But so does life. I am a single parent raising three children while trying to juggle a career. I make endless decisions alone and deal with crises alone. I manage loneliness and fear. I don't need to travel alone to build resilience, I have resilience in spades, I'm sure travelling overseas would push me further out of comfort zone. But you know what else pushed me out of my comfort zone? Being single in a society that values marriage.Earning a living in a difficult industry. Dating men I've met on an app. My life is effortful enough. I don't need my travels to be effortful too.
Travel is incredibly valuable, no matter what your stage of life. It teaches you how diverse the world is and how to appreciate your culture in relation to another. It stretches your mind and gives you a new viewpoint.
And you don't need a solo journey to become an independent woman. I assure you that life will get you there in the end.

Yellowstone Weather
Yellowstone National Park is at high altitude. Most of the park is above 7,500 feet (2,275 meters).
Yellowstone's weather is unpredictable. In summer, it may be warm and sunny with temperatures in the high 70s. At night in any given month, the temperature may drop close to freezing. So it is best to come prepared for cold evenings and mornings, especially if you are camping or hiking. When you leave your campsite, please leave it prepared for possible thundershowers and wind.
A sunny warm day may become fiercely stormy with wind, rain, sleet and sometimes snow. Without enough clothing, and easy day hike or boat trip can turn into a battle for survival.
