Ukuhamba kuphezulu kuluhlu lwezinto eziphambili ngokubaluleka kakhulu kuyo nayiphi na iwaka leminyaka. Ngapha koko, uphononongo lwe-Airbnb lufumanise ukuba i-millennials inomdla wokuchitha imali kumava kunokufumana ikhaya. Ukuhamba kweSolo nako kuyenyuka. Uvavanyo lweMMGYGlobal lwe-2,300 yabantu abadala base-US luveze ukuba iipesenti ezingama-37 zemillennials zenzelwe ukuthatha uhambo olunye lokuzonwabisa lodwa kwezi nyanga zintandathu zilandelayo.

Akumangalisi ukuba abafazi abasebenzayo bangena kwisenzo, nabo. "Ngaphezulu kwekota yabo bonke abahambi kwiiholide zethu ezisebenzayo bathathe inxaxheba bodwa," utshilo uCynthia Dunbar, umphathi jikelele weREI Adventures. "[Kwaye] kubo bonke abahamba bodwa, iipesenti ezingama-66 ngabasetyhini."

Kungenxa yoko le nto i-brand igunyazisa isifundo sikazwelonke ukuba ibonakalise ukubandakanyeka kwabasetyhini kwihlabathi lentaba. (Kwaye iinkampani ekugqibeleni zivelise izixhobo zokuhamba ngokukhethekileyo kubantu basetyhini.) Bafumanise ukuba ngaphezulu kweepesenti ezingama-85 zabo bonke abantu ababhinqileyo abakholelweyo bakholelwa ukuba ngaphandle kuchaphazela impilo yengqondo, impilo yomzimba, ukonwaba kunye nokuba sempilweni ngokupheleleyo, kwaye iipesenti ezingama-70 zixela ukuba zingaphandle iyakhulula. (Izibalo endivumelana nazo ngentliziyo epheleleyo.) Bafumanise ukuba iipesenti ezingama-73 zabasetyhini banqwenela ukuchitha ixesha elininzi-nokuba kuyiyure-ngaphandle.

Mna, omnye, ndingomnye wabo bafazi. Ukuhlala kwisiXeko saseNew York, kunzima ukuzimela kude nehlathi lekhonkrithi-okanye naseofisini-ukuthatha umoya opholileyo ongagcwaliswanga ngumsi kunye nezinye izinto ezingcolisa imiphunga. Yeyiphi indlela endizifumene ndijonga ngayo iwebhusayithi ye-REI kwindawo yokuqala. Ndithe ndakuva ukuba basungule ngaphezulu kwe-1 000 iminyhadala eyenzelwe ukufumana abantu basetyhini ngaphandle, ndaye ndacinga ukuba bazakuba nazo into ethile ndinyuke indledlana yam. Kwaye ndandinyanisile: Phakathi kwamakhulu eeklasi zeSikole saNgaphandle kunye nezintathu zeREI Outessa zokurhoxa, iintsuku ezintathu zabasetyhini kuphela-ndiye ndaqaphela ukuba ndineendlela ezininzi zokukhetha kuzo.

Kodwa eneneni, ndandifuna into ebukhali ngakumbi kuneentsuku ezintathu zokubaleka. Ukunyaniseka, izinto ezininzi "zobomi" bezisiya endleleni yolonwabo lwam luphela, kwaye bendifuna into enokunikezela ngokuseta kwakhona. Ndaye ndaya kwiphepha le-REI Adventures, ndicinga ukuba olunye lwehambo zabo ezintsha ze-19 eziza kutsala amehlo. Ngaphezulu kweyodwa eyenzileyo, kodwa ekugqibeleni ibingelulo uhambo lwesiko lwee-Adventures olundirhwebeshele ngaphakathi. Endaweni yoko, ibiluhambo lokuqala lwabafazi kuphela eGrisi. Andizukuhamba kuphela kwiziqithi zeTinos, Naxos, kunye ne-Insta-perfect Santorini, kuhambo olude lweentsuku ezili-10 kunye nesikhokelo se-REI Adventures, kodwa bendiya kuba nabanye abantu basetyhini abakuthandayo ukunyuka intaba entsha umoya njengoko ndenzayo.

Ubuncinci, ndinguye ndiyathemba aba bafazi babe. Kodwa yintoni endiyaziyo-aba bantu babengabaziyo ngokupheleleyo, kwaye ukusayina i-solo kwakuthetha ukuba ndiza kuyishiya i-crutch yokuba nomhlobo okanye enye into ebalulekileyo endinokuhlala nayo ukuba izinto ziye zanzima. Bendingazi ukuba ukhona omnye umntu ophumelele kwimvakalelo engena kuwe xa izihlunu zakho zivutha kwaye uphantse ukuphela konyuko olunzima xa yazi kukho iimbono ze-epic ezilinde kwindibano. Ngaba bangandifumana bendicaphukisa ngokufuna ukutyhala iintlungu, okanye bajoyine nam ukuya phezulu? Kwaye, ngokwendalo ndingumntu oqalayo-umntu ofuna kakhulu ixesha lokuba yedwa ukuze aphinde atshaje. Ngaba ukuchwechwa kwam neqela okomzuzwana othe cwaka wokucamngca kuya kukhubekisa? Okanye yamkelwe njengenxalenye yesiqhelo?

Yonke le mibuzo yajikeleza entlokweni yam njengoko ndandihamba phezu kweqhosha lokubhalisa, kodwa emva koko ndafumana ukukhaba ngokukhawuleza kwibhulukhwe, ngokuqinisekileyo, isicatshulwa endisibonile ku-Instagram. Yathi, "Ngawuphi na umzuzu, sinokhetho ezimbini: Ukuqhubela phambili ekukhuleni okanye ukubuyela kukhuseleko." Ilula, ngokuqinisekileyo, kodwa yafika ekhaya. Ndaye ndaqaphela ukuba, ekupheleni kosuku, kwakunokwenzeka ukuba ndingahlalisana naba bafazi kunokuba kungenjalo, ukuba siya kubambana ngelixa sihamba ngeendlela kunye nokunyuka kwendawo, kwaye siya kuba namava okuba. eneneni yasenza safuna ukuba ngabahlobo emva kokuba i-adventure yethu iphelile.

Ke, ekugqibeleni, ndenze njengoShonda Rhimes ndathi "ewe." Kwaye xa ndinyathela isikhephe esiya eAthene ukuqala uhambo lwam, ndiphefumla umoya omtsha, onetyiwa woLwandle iAegean, nakuphi na ukukhathazeka endinako malunga nale nto ngaphandle kohambo olungaqhelekanga. Ngexesha lokukhwela kwam inqwelo moya ukubuyela kwisiXeko saseNew York, ndandisele ndifunde isihogo kuninzi-malunga nam, malunga nokuhamba uhambo ngeGrisi, nangokonwaba ngelixa ndingqongwe ngabantu endingabaziyo. Ezi yayizezona zinto ndizithathayo.

Abasetyhini bathanda ukuhamba ngee-badass. Kwisifundo seREI endasifunda ngaphambi kohambo lwam, abafazi bathetha kakhulu ngokuthanda ngaphandle. Kodwa ama-63 ekhulwini kubo avuma ukuba akanakucinga ngomntu ongumfazi ongumzekelo wangaphandle, yaye amabhinqa ama-6 kwali-10 athi izilangazelelo zamadoda kwimisebenzi yangaphandle zijongwa nzulu ngakumbi kunowamabhinqa. Ngelixa ezo zinto zifunyanisiweyo zingamangalisi, ndizifumanisa zizonke. Omnye wabafazi kuhambo lwam wayebubungqina obuphilayo bokuba abantu ababhinqileyo bangaphandle ngaphandle-xa wayeqala ukubhalisela olu hambo, wabeka usukelo lokuphulukana neeponti ezili-110 kwiinyanga ezintandathu. Leyo yinjongo enkulu ngawo nawuphi na umgangatho, kodwa yinto ebekufuneka ayenze ukuze abe sempilweni ngokwaneleyo ukuze anyuke iintaba ebesiza kuqubisana nazo. Kwaye ucinga ntoni? Uyenzile ngokupheleleyo. Xa wayenyusa iNtaba yeZeus (okanye iZas, njengoko amaGrike esitsho), umgama omalunga neekhilomitha ezi-4 ukuya kweyona ncopho iphakamileyo kwingingqi yeCyclades, yayiyeyona nto ndandijonge kuye kakhulu. Iintaba zinendlela yokuzithoba kakhulu, kwaye nangona ukuhamba intaba kungumsebenzi olula-inyawo elinye phambi kwelinye, ndiyathanda ukuthi-inokukhaba iesile ngokulula ukuba uyayivumela. Lo mfazi wala ukuyivumela loo nto ukuba yenzeke, kwaye ungomnye wabafazi abaninzi abangqina oko zi Imizekelo entlango. (Ufuna enye inspo? Aba bafazi bayabutshintsha ubuso beshishini lokunyuka intaba, kwaye lo mfazi wabeka irekhodi lehlabathi ngokuzonwabisa kwihlabathi liphela.)

Ukuhamba wedwa akuthethi ukuba wedwa. Uhambo lweSolo luneenzuzo ezininzi-njengokwenza kanye le nto uyifunayo, xa ufuna, kubaqalayo-kodwa ukuphuma kuhambo wedwa uze udibane neqela labantu ongabaziyo kanye kanye, kwaye uninzi lwabafazi kule nto. uhambo, olufunekayo. Sasikho sonke ngezizathu ezahlukeneyo, nokuba sisebenza-, ubudlelwane-, okanye usapho-sinxulumene, kunye nokuhamba-hamba nabantu esingabaziyo kwavumela ngamnye kuthi ukuba avule kwaye abalise amabali ethu ngendlela ebesingazokwazi ukwenza ngayo nabahlobo okanye, ewe, ukuba sihamba sodwa. Ngelixa sihamba malunga ne-7 yeekhilomitha ecaleni kweCaldera eSantorini, bekukho phantse ukucoca okwenzekileyo. Uninzi lwethu beludiniwe kwiintsuku ezintathu ezidlulileyo zokunyuka intaba, ukusibeka kwimeko ebuthathaka yengqondo eye yemba ngokwenene kwimithwalo yeemvakalelo uninzi lwethu olwalujongana nayo kubomi bethu ekhaya. Kodwa ukuba nabahlobo abatsha kwakusisikhumbuzo sokuba kwakunganyanzelekanga ukuba sithwale loo mizabalazo sisodwa, kwaye kwade kwasivumela ukuba sizibone iimeko zethu ngendlela eyahlukileyo, sinikwe ukuba, kwakhona, sonke sasingabasemzini ngokupheleleyo. Ukutshona kwelanga, bobathandathu safika ekungeneni kwidolophana yase-Oia (ebizwa ngokuba yi-e-yah, BTW) kwaye sathi cwaka sibukele izibane kwiihotele, emakhaya nakwiindawo zokutyela. Kwakungumzuzu ozolileyo woxolo, kwaye njengoko ndandimi apho ndimana ndiyifaka yonke loo nto, ndaqonda ukuba ukuba bendingekho kula manenekazi, ngendibe kakhulu entlokweni yam ukuyeka nokuxabisa ubuhle obulungileyo phambi kwam.

Amadoda awadingi kumenywa. Ndilungiselela imeko yokuhamba intaba ebandakanyayo ngokupheleleyo kuba, enyanisweni, iintaba azikhathali nokuba ungubani na. Kodwa olu hambo lwandinceda ndaqonda ukuba kunokuba yingenelo ukuba ngabafazi kuphela. Kwiindawo ezininzi zohambo-xa sasithatha iklasi yokupheka yaseMeditera ukusuka kumpheki wasekhaya kwisiqithi saseTinos, okanye xa saphazamiseka kwindlela yokuhamba ngeemayile ezingama-7.5 kwiilali zeso siqithi-uninzi lwamahlaya ngaphakathi, amazwi okhuthazo, kunye Izimo zengqondo ezingakhathaliyo zaphoswa phakathi kweqela. Umkhenkethisi wethu, uSylvia, ude wawuqaphela umahluko, njengoko ekhokele amaqela asebenzisanayo iminyaka emininzi. Amaxesha amaninzi, amadoda onke malunga nokufaneleka kohambo lokunyuka intaba, wandixelela, kwaye balapha ukuze bafike encotsheni yentaba kwaye yiloo nto. Abasetyhini banokuba njalo, nam-ngokuqinisekileyo bendifuna ukutyhala imida yam kolu hambo-kodwa bavulelekile ngakumbi ekunxibelelaneni nabanye abakwiqela, ukunxulumana nabantu bendawo, kunye nokuhamba nje xa izinto zingenzeki ' hamba ngokwesicwangciso. Yenzelwe ukonwaba ngakumbi, evulekileyo, kunye nohambo olumemileyo-kwaye ukuhleka ngamakhwenkwe kunye neziqhulo zesini ezaye zaya kabuhlungu, nazo. (Hey, singabantu.)

Ubulolo bulungile kuwe. Xa ndiphuma kolu hambo, ukuba nesizungu ayisiyiyo nento eyakha yawela engqondweni yam. Ndilungile ekudibaneni nabantu abatsha kwaye ndincede wonke umntu azive ekhululekile omnye komnye (kwaye ungabheja ukuba ndiya kuba ngowokuqala ukwenza isiqhulo ngeendleko zam). Ngoko ndothuka gqitha xa, malunga nesiqingatha sohambo, ndazibona ndikhumbula ekhaya ngokwenene. Kwakungenanto yakwenza nendawo endandikuyo-izinto esasizibona, abantu esasihlangana nabo, kunye nezinto esasizenza zazimangalisa- kodwa endaweni yoko bendikushiye ngasemva. Njengoko benditshilo, uninzi lwexinzelelo belugcwele ekhaya, kwaye ndiye ndabona ukuba nangona bendifuna ukubaleka xa ndibhukisha olu hambo, ndaziva ndibuhlungu ngokushiya ezozinto zomyeni wam owayeshiyekile.

Kodwa emva koko, iqela lam lathi gqabagqaba ngeNtaba iZas, kunye nokuzola kuhlanjwa phezu kwam-ngakumbi xa, kubo bonke abantu ababephezulu kwentaba, amabhabhathane amabini afumana indlela yawo kum, edlala ngokuphumla umnqwazi wam. Kwaye kwindlela eya ezantsi, iqela lam lafumana indawo efihlakeleyo eyayikude neendlela - indawo eyayinkulu ngokwaneleyo ukuba ilingane kuthi sonke. Siye sahlala phantsi, imizuzu nje embalwa, sahlala kwindawo yokucamngca ekhokelwa ngomnye wabathathi-nxaxheba abaye baba ngumhlohli weyoga. Ukwenza oko kwandinceda ukuba ndikhululeke ngeemvakalelo ezingathandekiyo-ukuziva unetyala kunye nexhala, ngokuyintloko-kwaye kwandivumela ukuba ndigxile koku kwakhona. Izandi, amavumba, neemvakalelo zonke zandinceda ukuba ndibuyele kwiziko lam, kulapho ndabona khona ukuba akukho nto ndinokuyenza ngezinto ezenzeka ekhaya. Kukho isizathu sokuba ndiludinge olu hambo ngalo mzuzu. Ngaphandle kokucamngca-kwaye ngaphandle kwaloo ntlungu yokuqala yesithukuthezi-andiqinisekanga ukuba ngekhe ndifike kuloo maxesha oxolo.
