Do people travel to the other side of the globe with a one-year-old baby? I wondered if I was crazy.

Before this trip, I had had various adventures — but this trip would he different. The South American adventure would be a unique life experience of mine. I had given up many activities in order to appease a new little person, because Anders’ needs had to come first. At the age of 34, it was a difficult change for me, and I was occasionally annoyed when I realized that my son had stripped (剥夺) so much from me.

Argentina is a long way from my home. It seemed even longer when I was on the plane, sharing a seat with such an active boy, but Anders and I made it without angering any other passengers or getting any dirty looks. And we also took naps on a regular schedule.

I wanted to do some hikes in the Andes in Argentina. I wanted to drive ten hours to the coast to see penguins. However，when I thought about my travel partner, I gave up these ideas. Instead, we just hung out by lakes, picking up stones and throwing them in the water. I took short hikes through the forests of Los Alerces National Park, running with Anders in the backpack, knowing that I had two hours before his tolerance gave out and complaints started.

As I discovered later, traveling with a baby opens new doors that aren’t there for a traveler. Anders helped me to slow and look at the landscape more closely. I got to see the forests through someone else’s eyes. The traveling wasn’t as crazy or as fast-paced as it would have been if I had been alone, but the details were amazing. Now I just have to incorporate (使并入) that into our life back home.

Without proper planning, tourism can cause problems. For example, too many tourists can crowd public places that are also enjoyed by the inhabitants of a country. If tourists create too much traffic, the inhabitants become annoyed and unhappy. They began to dislike tourists and to treat them impolitely. They forget how much tourism can help the country’s economy. It is important to think about the people of a destination country and how tourism affects them. Tourism should help a country keep the customs and beauty that attract tourists. Tourism should also advance the wealth and happiness of local inhabitants.

Too much tourism can be a problem. If tourism grows too quickly, people must leave other jobs to work in the tourism industry. This means that other parts of the country’s economy can suffer.

On the other hand, if there is not enough tourism, people can lose jobs. Business can also lose money. It costs a great deal of money to build large hotels, airports, air terminals, first­class roads, and other support facilities needed by tourist attractions. For example, a major international class tourism hotel can cost as much as 50 thousand dollars per room to build. If this room is not used most of the time, the owner of the hotel lose money.

Building a hotel is just a beginning. There must be many support facilities as well, including roads to get to the hotel, electricity, sewers to handle waste, and water. All of these support facilities cost money.If they are not used because there are not enough tourists, jobs and money are lost.

Italy has more must-see sights than you could squeeze into a lifetime. With so much to do and see, most visitors can’t wait to wander around, taking in everything. Fortunately, getting around this slender, boot-shaped country is easy, thanks to superb transport services. Here’s what you need to know about getting around in Italy.

Travel by train for the stunning views in Italy

Italy boasts an extensive rail network spanning the length of the country, meaning most major cities-including Rome, Florence, Naples, Bologna and Palermo-are connected by regular train services. Best of all, you can sit back and soak in the gorgeous scenery in between them.

Buses are the most inexpensive way to explore Italy

Though slower than trains, buses are a cheaper form of transport in Italy, and they provide access to smaller towns and villages not served by Italy’s rail network. Buses are run by private companies with a web of routes that stretches to most places of the country.

Getting around by car means maximum freedom

Having a private vehicle in Italy means you can travel at your own pace and visit regions with minimal public transport, which is particularly handy in the mountains. Parking can be hard to find in urban areas and local drivers have a reputation for being impatient and quick to use their horns.

Cycling is a great way to explore the countryside in Italy

Cycling is a great way to explore every comer of villages and backroads in the countryside. It’s very popular in northern Italy, including in the Alps and Dolomites, but less so in the south. Bikes are not allowed on motorways but they can be carried on some ferries, and on regional trains displaying the bicycle logo.
