“她的头发乱蓬蓬，阳光使之变色。她的肤色永远不再白皙，不是日晒那么简单。皮肤上有好几处晒伤的痕迹，到处都是伤口以及虫咬后的伤疤。但是对于皮肤上的每一个瑕疵，她都可以告诉你一个有意思的故事”。

不要约会一个爱旅行的女孩。她很难被取悦。常规的吃晚餐看电影的约会模式会让她无聊生气。她的灵魂渴望新的体验与冒险。她对你的新车和昂贵的手表没什么兴趣。听你吹嘘这些，她情愿去攀岩，或者跳伞。

不要约会一个爱旅行的女孩。每次航空公司打折，她都会要你去订机票。她不热衷于派对，也不会花超过$100去演唱会。 因为她知道，一个周末去酒吧花掉的 $100可以在其他有趣的地方呆上一个星期之久。

很有可能她没有一个稳定的工作。或者她正在做着白日梦，想要辞职。她不想勤勤恳恳地工作去实现他人的梦想。她有她自己的梦需要追逐。她是一个自由工作者。她通过设计，写作，摄影或者其他需要创造力和想象力的方式去挣钱。不要浪费你的时间跟她抱怨你的工作有多么的无聊。

不要约会一个爱旅行的女孩。她可能已经浪费了她的大学学位并完全转行了。她现在是一个潜水教练或者瑜伽老师。她不确定下一张薪水支票在哪里，但是她不会象机器人一样整天工作。她走出去，接受命运提供的机会，并且挑战你是否也能这么做。

不要约会一个爱旅行的女孩因为她选择了一种不确定的生活方式。她没有计划，没有永久地址。她走一步算一步，并且听从自己内心的声音。她按照自己的鼓点舞蹈。她不戴手表，她的时光由日月控制。 当海浪召唤时，生活暂停，她将在那一刻无视生命里的任何其他东西。但是她也学会了，冲浪并不是一切。

不要约会一个爱旅行的女孩因为她有啥说啥。她不会试图取悦你的父母或朋友。她懂得尊敬，但是也毫不畏惧就世界大事或者社会责任展开辩论。

她不会需要你。无需你的帮助，她懂得怎么扎帐篷，怎样给自己的冲浪板拧上螺丝。她做一手好菜，且不需要你为她买单。她太独立了，不在乎你是否和她一起上路。当她到达目的地的时候，会忘记和你报备。她忙碌地活在当下。她和陌生人交谈。她会遇到很多和她理念接近的来自世界各地的有意思的人，他们和她有一样 的热情和梦想。她会觉得你无聊无趣。

所以除非你能跟上她的脚步，不然不要约会一个爱旅行的女孩。万一你不小心爱上 这样一个女孩，千万不要约会她。让她走。


【英文原文】
Don’t date a girl who travels

She’s the one with the messy unkempt hair colored by the sun. Her skin is now far from fair like it once was. Not even sun kissed. It’s burnt with multiple tan lines, wounds and bites here and there. But for every flaw on her skin, she has an interesting story to tell.

Don’t date a girl who travels. She is hard to please. The usual dinner-movie date at the mall will suck the life out of her. Her soul craves for new experiences and adventures. She will be unimpressed with your new car and your expensive watch. She would rather climb a rock or jump out of an airplane than hear you brag about it.

Don’t date a girl who travels because she will bug you to book a flight every time there’s an airline seat sale. She wont party at Republiq. And she will never pay over $100 for Avicii because she knows that one weekend of clubbing is equivalent to one week somewhere far more exciting.

Chances are, she can’t hold a steady job. Or she’s probably daydreaming about quitting. She doesn’t want to keep working her ass off for someone else’s dream. She has her own and is working towards it. She is a freelancer. She makes money from designing, writing, photography or something that requires creativity and imagination. Don’t waste her time complaining about your boring job.

Don’t date a girl who travels. She might have wasted her college degree and switched careers entirely. She is now a dive instructor or a yoga teacher. She’s not sure when the next paycheck is coming. But she doesn’t work like a robot all day, she goes out and takes what life has to offer and challenges you to do the same.

Don’t date a girl who travels for she has chosen a life of uncertainty. She doesn’t have a plan or a permanent address. She goes with the flow and follows her heart. She dances to the beat of her own drum. She doesn’t wear a watch. Her days are ruled by the sun and the moon. When the waves are calling, life stops and she will be oblivious to everything else for a moment. But she has learned that the most important thing in life isn’t surfing.

Don’t date a girl who travels as she tends to speak her mind. She will never try to impress your parents or friends. She knows respect, but isn’t afraid to hold a debate about global issues or social responsibility.

She will never need you. She knows how to pitch a tent and screw her own fins without your help. She cooks well and doesn’t need you to pay for her meals. She is too independent and wont care whether you travel with her or not. She will forget to check in with you when she arrives at her destination. She’s busy living in the present. She talks to strangers. She will meet many interesting, like-minded people from around the world who share her passion and dreams. She will be bored with you.

So never date a girl who travels unless you can keep up with her. And if you unintentionally fall in love with one, don’t you dare keep her. Let her go.

小编说：这也许就是Adi Zarsadias写给她心爱的男孩，或是未来那个她心爱的男孩的吧。包容她所有的缺点，了解她，陪在她身边。之所以这篇文章风靡全球，正是因为她说出了许多女孩心中的想法，这里面也包括你吗？
可是，可是，这样的女孩不是更应该好好爱吗？
