Ngati Mukukonda Kuyenda, Kampu Ino Ikhoza Kukhala Yoyenera!
Ndinali wowerengera ndalama ndisanayambe kukhala mtolankhani woyendayenda, kotero mwina ndikuwerenga zinthu zomwe zimangobwera mwachibadwa. Nditangomva za Otsatira 'Century Club' (TCC), lingaliro la "mayiko osonkhanitsa" linali losangalatsa kwambiri moti ndinapita mwamsanga ku webusaiti ya TCC kuti ndiphunzire zambiri.
Cholinga cha TCC ndi chophweka - aliyense yemwe wapita ku mayiko 100 (monga momwe tafotokozera ndi TCC) padziko lapansi akuyenera kukhala membala mu gululo.
TCC si gulu latsopano. Yoyamba inakhazikitsidwa ku Los Angeles mu 1954 ndi gulu la anthu ochuluka kwambiri padziko lonse lapansi. Kuyambira pomwepo mfundoyi inakopa mamembala ochokera ku United States ndi kuzungulira dziko lonse lapansi. TCC ili ndi mamembala oposa 1500, omwe ali ndi mitu pafupifupi 20 padziko lonse lapansi. Kwa ife omwe amakonda kukwera, gulu ili ndilopambana chifukwa timayendera maiko ambiri omwe ali mndandanda wawo. "Kusonkhanitsa maiko" kumatipatsanso chifukwa chabwino choyendetsera MORE!
TCC ndizoposa "mayiko osonkhanitsa." Chilankhulochi ndi- "Ulendo wa padziko lonse ... pasipoti kupita ku mtendere mwakumvetsa." Mamembala amachokera m'mitundu yosiyana, koma onse amakonda kukonda komanso kufufuza ndikukhala achangu pa moyo. Amakhulupiriradi kuti chidziwitso cha miyambo ina ndi mayiko ena chimalimbikitsa mtendere. Ambiri mwa anthuwa ndi okalamba, ndipo ndinalimbikitsidwa kuĊµerenga kuti ena a iwo adayenda kwambiri atayenda pantchito.
Ndi mayiko angati alipo? Zimatengera mndandanda womwe mumagwiritsa ntchito. United Nations ili ndi mamembala okwana 193 (November 2016), koma chiwerengero cha mayiko odziimira padziko lonse okhala ndi mizinda yayikulu ndi 197. Mndandanda wa "Travelers Club" wa "Travel" Club uli ndi mbali zina zomwe sizili mayiko osiyana, koma zimakhala zandale, zandale, kapena zamtundu wina kuchoka kudziko la makolo awo.
Mwachitsanzo, onse a Hawaii ndi Alaska amawerengedwa kuti ndi "mayiko" omwe amagawidwa ndi TCC. Mndandanda wamakono wa TCC, umene unasinthidwa mu Januwale 2016, chiwerengero cha 325. Pamene gululo linayambika, kudaliyidwa kwakukulu kwa momwe adayenera kukhalira kudziko kapena chilumba kuti akhale oyenerera. Pomalizira pake anaganiza kuti ngakhale ulendo wochepa kwambiri (monga doko loyendetsa sitimayo kapena ndege yopuma ndege) angakhale woyenera. Lamulo ili likuwonjezera mwayi kwa okonda anthu oyenda panyanja kuti akonze maiko mwamsanga.
Mamembala mu TCC amabwera m'magulu osiyanasiyana. Anthu amene apita ku mayiko 100-149 amaloledwa kukhala amembala, mayiko 150-199 amitundu, ndalama 200-249 mamembala a golidi, 250-299 platinum, ndipo oposa 300 ali mamembala a diamondi. Amene adayendera maiko onse omwe ali mndandanda adzalandira mphoto yapadera. Ndinadabwa kuona kuti mamembala ambiri a TCC akhala "m'mayiko" oposa 300. Ndimangoganizira chabe nkhani zosangalatsa zomwe amafunika kunena! Mamembala a gululi amapanga maulendo angapo pachaka ku malo ena ovuta kwambiri. Popeza kuti maiko ambiri a TCC ndizilumba, ena mwa maulendowa ndi maulendo.
Sindinathe kuyembekezera kuti ndikadutse mndandanda kuti ndione maiko angati omwe ndapitako.
Ndinkalakalaka ndikuchezera maiko onse 50, ndipo ndakhala ndikufika ku 49 (ndikuyang'ana North Dakota, koma sindikuwoneka kuti ndikufika pa sitimayo). Tsopano ndikhoza kulota maiko ambiri omwe ali pa mndandanda wa TCC ngati n'kotheka. Nditayamba kuyang'ana mndandanda, sindinadziwe kuti ndingakumane ndi malo angati, monga San Blas Islands ku Panama, sindikanawerenga popanda mndandanda patsogolo panga. Mayiko ena (monga Italy) ndapita kawirikawiri; ena (monga Swaziland ) ndinakhala osachepera ola limodzi. Ndinkakumbukira zinthu zabwino zodziwika za nthawi yopuma ndi maulendo apitalo pamene ndinayang'ana mndandanda kuyambira pamwamba mpaka pansi. Zinali zokhumudwitsa pang'ono kuti ndione zazing'ono zomwe ndakhala ndikuziwona, koma zimandipatsa chifukwa chabwino choyendera! (Zowonjezereka: Ine tsopano ndili m'mayiko 127 a TCC kuyambira November 2016).
