  Who is backpacking for? 背包旅行适合哪些人?
 
  背包旅行是一种低预算且随性的旅行方式。以洛林和迈克为例:他们退休后,每人背着一个15公斤重的背包,沿英格兰海岸徒步行走了630英里。再举一例,奥斯曼·佐拉提背包行遍了24个非洲国家,然而他启程时身上只有80美元。背包旅行似乎适合任何人,并不受年龄和预算的限制。听节目,看看你有没有作 “背包客” 的潜质。
  词汇:travel 旅行
  Do you know anyone who has gone backpacking? It's a type of travel that is low-cost and independent, often meaning no fixed1 plans regarding accommodation or destination. The word 'backpacking' comes from 'backpack', a type of bag that you carry on your back. Travellers typically fill a backpack with life essentials, like clothing, plus anything extra needed for adventure. The stereotypical2 view of a backpacker is someone in their 20s, keen to tick off items on their bucket list. But, forget this. You're about to find out that anyone can backpack.
  Last year, my best friend's parents retired3 at aged4 65 and set off on a 630-mile trail along the southwest coast of England. Each carrying a 15kg backpack, Mike and Lorraine hiked along cliffs, explored golden sandy beaches and even cycled. For accommodation, they didn't pre-book but stayed in whatever they could find on the day, which varied5 from B&Bs to camping in fields full of sheep. They did stop for the occasional well-deserved cup of tea – they were in England after all.
  Backpackers are also known for travelling with little money, but few begin with as little as Othmane Zolati from Morocco. In 2015, he embarked6 on an almost four-year journey, but he started out with just $80 (?64). He zigzagged7 across 24 countries on the African continent and filmed his experience, aiming to show the world the diversity and beauty of Africa, all on a shoestring8 budget. He told BBC What's New that he often had to work odd jobs and rely on the kindness of strangers to be able to afford to keep travelling. But it was worth it. South Africa was Othmane's final destination and, on reaching it, he said "It was one of the best moments in my life. It made me know that if you fight for something, you really stick to that goal… then you will reach it".
  So, don't give up. If you want to travel, you can, no matter your age or budget!
