女生靠社交网络免费穿越美国

I met up with Rule at her final destination: Audi’s Powell Street Promenade in downtown San Francisco. She was surprisingly exuberant for someone who spent the last 14 days coordinating free journeys Westward. How did she do it?

我在终点遇见了Rule：站在位于旧金山市中心的鲍威尔步行街上，她对于自己在过去的14天里做了一次免费的西部旅行感到异常兴奋。而她是如何做到的呢？

There were a handful of services that made the trip possible: Facebook, Craigslist, Ridejoy (a ridesharing service), and CouchSurfing. When Rule began her journey in Boston, she didn’t know what to do--how could she start organizing the trip without WiFi? So she spent a little bit of her emergency cash on a cheap bus ticket to New York City that came with WiFi and a power outlet. Rule ended up hitching a ride with a photographer that she found on Craigslist all the way to Chicago, where she used Facebook to find a friend’s couch on which to crash. Soon Rule discovered a woman on Craigslist who was giving away a free bus ticket to Madison, Wisconsin--Rule accepted it and continued her journey, staying in Wisconsin with a couchsurfer who later drove her to Minneapolis.

一系列的服务设施让这次旅行成为可能：Facebook, Craigslist（资讯黄页网站）, Ridejoy（自行车共享服务网站）以及CouchSurfing（沙发客网站）。当Rule在波士顿准备出发时，她完全不知道自己该做什么——她该如何在没有WiFi的情况下组织行程？所以她用了紧急基金里的一点钱买了一张到纽约市的车票。车上有WiFi，还有插座。在去芝加哥的路上，她在Craigslist克雷格列表网上找到了一位愿意让她搭车的摄影师。在那里，她还通过Facebook找到了愿意让她睡一晚的朋友。之后Rule又在Craigslist上遇到一位想要免费出让一张去威斯康星州麦迪逊市的车票，Rule得到了这张车票并继续她的旅程。在威斯康星州里，她遇到了一位沙发客，最终载着她抵达明尼阿波里斯市。
