美国打工度假是我20年来经历最神奇、最难忘的旅游体验。

在黄石国家公园不仅仅是体验到大自然的馈赠，也结交了许多朋友，其中不少来自台湾、哥伦比亚、厄瓜多尔、西班牙以及美国本土。我们相互分享自己国家的文化，偶尔也会分享自己国家的美食。

黄石国家公园是世界上第一个国家公园，以丰富多元的生态环境以及超级火山而闻名，在抵达黄石的第一个星期我便亲眼见到了麋鹿、美洲野牛、黑熊、黄鼠狼等等野生动物。这里的风景每一帧都犹如风景画，不管是我打工酒店外的黄石湖，还是如彩虹般七彩的火山熔岩，甚至是远处被雪覆盖的山脉，都不禁让我想起 “青山绿水，白草红叶黄花”，虽然诗人描写的是秋日景象，但黄石的春天犹如秋天般多彩，黄花、绿叶、白雪、蓝湖，无一不让我对大自然的奥妙为之感叹。

黄石的夏天开阔了我的眼界，让我原本对世界的好奇心无限滋养放大，如果你读到这里，不管你想去美国哪里，希望你不要犹豫，因为不一样的夏天正在等你。

🔍What is your advice to future WAT participants?

Keep an open mind and heart. Leave your judgments and pre-conceived ideas at the door and embrace changes with positivity. The journey can be life-changing and prompts you to look at things from different perspectives as well as becoming more self-aware. Most importantly, get out from your shell, breakthrough the cultural differences and make new friends with people from various countries.

Word from adventurer 🧡
