Travelling

Travelling is very popular in the 20th century and that is why it is so common. People all around the world travel for various reasons: One of them is tourism - especially during holidays. Others travel for scientific purposes. Many people like travelling because it is exciting.

On the other hand travelling has some disadvantages - it may be dangerous: we can meet bad people, we can get lost, be murdured or our money may be stolen.
There are many means of transport to choose from. Young people like hitchhiking or just hiking. Some people prefer going by car, by air, by train, by bus on a motorcycle or riding a motorbike. In London we can travel by a double-decker.

When going abroad we must get necessary documents. First of all a valid possport and a visa. We must change money to hard currency in a bank or at an exchange office. When we fly, we must get air tickets.

Most people all around the world speak English and in Europe german. Travelling does not mean only going abroad but also seeing interesting places in our country or commuting to work or to school.

Through travel agencies people have their trips, tickets and accommodation reserved. We can arrange varous kinds of trips e.g.: Cultural trips, recreation stays. Many foreign tourists travel to our country, mainly because of beautiful nature, cultrual and historic monuments.

For travelling we can use many kinds of luggage according to the kind of trip. We use knapsack for a longer sports journey. We use a rucksack when going for a walk or to school. We use a suitcase when we go by a coach. I prefer riding my bicycle because it is the cheapest and it does not spoil nature.
