Travelling is an
activity that can be enjoyed by anyone. It can bring a new sense of life into a
person and give you a completely new view on the world.
The most common
reasons why people travel are to get away from their current situations and
locations, to enjoy new experiences, learn new languages, try new food, and get
acquainted with new cultures.
Another important
reason for travelling is the search of a new job. Some people travel to the
major cities to pursue their dream jobs.
Some people travel
to experience different seasons. Spending a few weeks of winter in a summer
destination has also been gaining popularity.
People travel to
challenge themselves and to find out new things about themselves. Compared to
previous decades, people travel more nowadays because the economies are better
and the advancements
in
transportation make it easier to do so. One can choose between going by coach,
by train, by plane (by air), by ship (by sea). Each of these means has its
advantages and disadvantages. Travelling by
coach is rather convenient and cheap. You can take food with you or buy it at
the stops. There are some modern conveniences in the coaches such as toilets
and TVs. But sleeping in an armchair can cause problems especially to those who
are car-sick. Travelling by
train is also quite popular as it's not expensive. People can choose between a
carriage with sitting places and a carriage with berths (upper and lower
berths). Travelling by
plane is an exciting experience, very convenient for those who are not airsick.
Travelling by plane is rather expensive though people can choose between
economic class, business class. The price depends on the food served and the
number of people around. People can also choose an aisle scat or a window seat
if they are available. Keep in mind that you may suffer from jet lag (feel
tired and slightly confused after a long journey by airplane) especially after
travelling between places that have a time difference of several hours. Travelling
by ship is an unforgettable experience. It's a great chance to sec marvelous
seascapes. Besides, the dawns and sunsets in the open ocean are terrific. You
may travel by cruisers, yachts and liners fitted up with all modern
conveniences and entertainment facilities. The disadvantages are the cost of
the ticket, the storms and the sea-sickness.
