Introduction
People have been traveling since ancient times from all over the world. Surely in those times people were traveling mostly for the need of trade, while nowadays millions of people spend their holiday traveling abroad. Children and adults are dreaming about holidays in the foreign country, because they want to visit other continents, modern cities and the ruins of the ancient towns. People travel to enjoy picturesque places or just for a change of science. It is always interesting to discover new things, different ways of life, to meet different people, to taste different food or to listen to different musical rhythms.
Those people, who live in the countryside, usually travel to big cities, because they want to feel the wing-ding of the city, so they usually spend their holiday visiting museums and art galleries, going to the shops and dinning at the exotic restaurants, meanwhile city-dwellers, on the contrary, prefer restful holiday, somewhere in a quiet place where they would be able just to bathe and laze in the sun.
Types of traveling
In modern-days, people needs for traveling very differ from those who lived in ancient
times. There were no cars, plains, trains or bicycles in ancient times, so people just saddled up their horses and traveled to the other city or foreign country. During all that year, since ancient times till now, technology made a huge progress and there are many ways of traveling a person can choose from. People decide which way of traveling to choose, according to their needs, wishes and destination. They can choose from:
Crossing: a boat journey to the other side of the sea.
Cruise: a holiday spent on a large ship, which visits a number of places.
Expedition: an organized journey that is made for a particular purpose such as exploration.
Flight: a journey made by flying, especially in an aero plane.
Hitch-hiking: a travel by walking, with occasional rides in passing cars.
Journey: a trip or expedition with an intended distance and date.
Package tour: a holiday, arranged by a travel company, in which your travel and accommodation are booked for you.
Tour: a journey in which a short stay is made at a number of places, the traveler usually returning finally to the place from which he had started.
Trip: a journey that you make from one place and back again.
Voyage: a voyage by see or along the river.
Hike: trip by foot.
Advantages and disadvantages of traveling on foot
Traveling on foot is good because it is one of the cheapest ways to get somewhere. Surely using this way of traveling you must have enough time because it is the slowest way of traveling. But if the place is 100 or more km away, then everyone prefers a faster way of traveling. Traveling on foot is good for your health, but if you have to travel about 100 or 200 km away using only your foot – it wont be very healthy for you. Anyway, everyone can try.
So traveling on foot is the best way to travel only for short distances.
Advantages and disadvantages of traveling by ship
Traveling by ship is one of the most interesting and romantic way of traveling. Traveling by ship is good, because you live in a cabin where a bed and bathroom is, and there you can get a good rest. You also do not need to worry about the food, because there is at least one restaurant in all cruisers. Another advantage of traveling by ship is impressions that people can receive during the trip. It is unspeakable sense to feel the deck of the ship under your feet, to see the rise and fall of the waves and to feel the fresh sea wind blowing into your face. Also, if you are traveling for a several days you can enjoy the beauty of the sunset and the sunrise; you can laze on the deck getting a sunset or just walk on the deck and do not worry by air-pockets.
Surely traveling by ship has and disadvantages too. One of this is that traveling by ship is quite expensive in comparison with traveling by bus or by train. Another bad thing about the voyage is being seasick. Lots of people get seasick, especially when the sea is rough.
Traveling by ship is the most suitable way of traveling for those people, who are romantic, like sea and do not afraid storms and getting seasick.
Advantages and disadvantages of traveling by train
If you are going to travel by train, you can choose from traveling by express train, local train, and slow train and through train. Traveling by train is good, because trains always run on time; furthermore, you can reserve a seat in a compartment where you can rest. With a train you have speed, comfort and pleasure combined. You can sit comfortably in a train and watch a view of the whole countryside. If you are hungry, you can have a meal in a restaurant-car. You can also meet and talk to lots of people. It is worth to travel by train for the students, because train tickets are not very expensive and, also, there is 50% discount for the tickets.
Traveling by train has disadvantages too. It is quite uncomfortable to travel with trains that have no cabins,
just sitting places. Because sitting places in old trains are wooden and hard, so during a long trip you can get a backache. Another disadvantage is that all the time, during your trip, you will hear a noise, which split from the railing.
