Travelling online

If you haven't got time to go travelling, you can still enjoy it by following a traveller's experiences on their blog.

Here are three of the most interesting and unusual globetrotters online!

Α

At the age of seventeen, Alex Chacón set off from his home in El Paso, Texas and went for a motorbike ride. Alex's thirty-day tour of the USA took in California, Washington and Florida and gave Alex an aim in life: to travel the world on his motorbike.

Although Alex usually travels alone, he has shared his experiences on his blog. While travelling, Alex videos himself doing all sorts of activities against breathtaking backgrounds of remote jungles, deserts and mountains. On one trip, he filmed himself by moving in a 360° circle so that all the famous landmarks would be included.

During Alex's motorcycle expeditions, he regularly stops to take part in volunteering projects at orphanages that he comes across on his route. Furthermore, he uses his blog to raise donations for orphans.

Alex is now planning to cross Africa, Europe and Asia. It seems that by the 5 time he's thirty, Alex will have ridden his bike across most of the planet!

B

Dutch actress Manon Ossevoort has dreamed of travelling from Europe across Africa to the South Pole for years, and she chose a slow form of transport: a tractor. Manon only averaged 5 km/h as she drove, but that allowed her to get to know the hospitable people in villages where she stopped over for the night. She would explain why she was going to the South Pole and ask people to follow her blog and write down their own dreams. She promised to build a snowman when she arrived at her destination and leave all their dreams inside it. The idea was popular and Manon received thousands of dreams on pieces of paper and in emails. Finally, on 9 December 2014, Manon's dream came true, and she pulled up in a big red tractor at the South Pole. She then built a snowman and left a time capsule inside it with all the dreams she had collected. Manon explained on her blog that when the time capsule is opened in eighty years' time, future generations will be able to read something about our lives and our hopes for the future.

Have you ever travelled with no luggage? That was the question Rolf Potts aimed to answer on the 'no-baggage challenge'. However, the task wasn't simply a question of going off for a week to soak up the sun on a beach. Rolf had to travel 50,000 km by plane and get around eleven countries in 42 days with just the things he could carry in his pockets. Would he be able to do it?

Rolf was certainly well qualified enough to try. He was an experienced traveller who wrote a blog about budget travel. Now he planned to update it with regular reports about travelling extremely light.

His first 'no-baggage challenge' entry listed the items he took with him: a toothbrush and toothpaste, a small bottle of soap, a mobile phone and charger, deodorant, sunglasses, a passport, cash and a credit card. His second entry explained that he had got into the habit of washing his clothes before going to bed during his trips. By the third entry, he was really enjoying luggage-free travel.

Potts said that he would never pack any 'just in case' items again, because the imagined situations that they were packed for would never happen.

Đáp án

More tourism would be bad for the planet

For:

- Tourism increases pollution and traffic. More tourists mean more cars, buses, and especially planes – which cause a lot of air pollution.

- Building more hotels and resorts often damages the environment. Natural areas are destroyed to make space for tourist facilities.

Against 

- Tourism brings money to poorer countries and creates many jobs, especially in remote areas where there are few other opportunities.

- It also helps local people keep their traditions alive, because tourists are often interested in learning about different cultures.

9. SPEAKING Work in pairs. Discuss the statement in exercise 8. Use the phrases below to show that you agree or disagree. Làm việc theo cặp. Thảo luận phát biểu trong bài tập 8. Sử dụng các cụm từ dưới đây để thể hiện rằng bạn đồng ý hoặc không đồng ý.

Đáp án

A: I think more tourism would be bad for the planet. It creates a lot of pollution, especially from air travel. And building new hotels often damages the natural environment.

B: I see your point, but tourism also helps many poor countries. It creates jobs and brings in money that local people really need.

A: That may be true to some extent. However, the increase in traffic and waste in popular tourist areas really harms the environment.

B: I’m afraid I disagree. I think if tourism is managed well, it can actually help protect wildlife and nature. Eco-tourism is a good example.

A: I don’t really agree that eco-tourism always works. Some places become too crowded, and that affects both animals and local people.

B: That’s exactly how I feel — if it’s not managed properly. But I still believe tourism has many more benefits than disadvantages.

A: I couldn’t agree more that good management is important. In fact, maybe the problem isn’t tourism itself, but how it’s done.
