To travel is to discover that everyone is wrong about other countries


“To travel is to discover that everyone is wrong about other countries.” Aldous Huxley

這句引言是說旅遊令我們發現我們對其他地方原初的印象是錯的,意即讀萬卷書不如行萬里路,親歷其境,驗證真偽。


昨晚偶爾看到一個有關digital nomad的群組,其中一個貼文是一位有家室的比利時人,厭倦了比利時的政治和經濟,想去印尼生活。他/她有網站製作及社交媒體的製作經驗,希望一家可以在外地以數碼遊牧的形式賺取生活費,支付整個家庭的生活。他/她出貼的目的是想問問群組組員的意見。他/她其中的一段貼文是這樣寫的:


“...about the economical and political situation in Belgium, This is probably the worst country in the world politically and economically.


I give 65% of my wedge to the government, our politics are so selfish they think only to earn money with the covid crisis.

Since Covid, people and companies don't mind about services...Nobody cares !


Only big companies receive help from government, small company like me are suffering and nobody cares.


Since the crisis: taxes, energies and real estates are so growing that in several years it won't be possible to live here confortably.


I need to change my mind and my way of life.

I want to start something new.


Even for my little daughter (5years old). I don't want her to live in this selfish country where everything is fake, where everything is like reality show.


I want to give her another point of view that all those fuckin TV show where everybody is so beautifull and plenty of money (or they think they are) !


I would prefere to live in country like Indonesia, Cambodia, ... somewhere in asia and to show her the real life.

I konw we could try to show this also in Belgium but it would never be the same if we would live in another country.

But I want also to give her all the comfort she needs.

So I want to earn money like we earn here, i want her to have school education and to have a nice house and first of all i want her to be secure. But even in Belgium it's impossible to be sure of that.


I don't care living in a small fishing town, but i want everything except living in a country where i'm pretty sure my daughter will grow in a fake country with fake people and fake life…”


Digital nomad「數碼遊牧」是1997年開始有的一個詞彙,意思是透過科技(主要是智能電話、電腦及wifi)作遠程工作remote work以賺取不穩定的收入,既不用固定的工作時間和空間,可更自由地平衡工作和生活。由於貼文者是在Digital nomad群組內貼文,大部份回應者都是數碼遊牧,都是支持他/她的,當中也有些經驗老到的遊牧民族告誡他/她「到處羊毛一樣花」,親歷其境,你就會發現原來也不外如是。我也甚認同這一看法。


親身經歷是重要的,但亦不要過份美化經歷,在腦海要有「到處羊毛一樣花」的想法。要知道,每個地方的管治者都想管治得容易些,當中的政策不是純為人民的,同樣是為管治者的,可能讓他們管治得容易一點。不論是極權國家或是民主國家,只是程度而已。因此,於一個地方居住得久了,便會發現其弊病,就會越不喜歡,就會越想離開。


雖然是這樣,我認為親歷其境是必須的,跟你在書中或別人口中知道的會不一樣。只要起行前要計劃好一點,不要抱太大幻想就好了。


路,必須要行的;地,必須要闖的。畢竟人生是寂寥的。


“To travel is to discover that everyone is disappointed with their countries.”
