Every day hundreds of people travel from one place to another. They travel to work or on business. People all around the world travel for various reasons: one of them is tourism – especially during holidays.

People want to see the most beautiful sights of world´s famous metropolis. Some people travel on business, for political, cultural or family reasons. Many people like travelling because it´s exciting, when they can see new places, meet new people and friends, eat something unusual and see the way of life in various continents. Besides they can get new experiences.

Travelling is also an interesting way of spending holidays. In every season of the year the airports, railway stations, seaports and bus stops are full of people travelling for long or short distances.

On the other hand, travelling has some disadvantages, too – it may be very dangerous: we can get lost, be murdered or our money may be stolen.

Young people like hitchhiking or just hiking. People prefer traveling by car, by train, by bus, by air, riding a motorbike, bike or horse. In London we can travel by a double-decker bus.

Some people love more romantic means of transport, travelling on the yacht, canoeing, gliding, hot-air balooning...

In the Europe it is very popular now to travel by residental cars in which you can have everything for your personal use.

The most common and the most wide-spread sort of travelling is going by car. If you have a car, you are absolutely independent. You don´t have to follow any timetable, you can travel by car when you need and when you want.

In some countries travelling by boat is popular. It´s quite cheap, it but can be uncomfortable too, when the weather is bad. If you can travel for short distances, you may take a ferry, for long distances ocean liners are more convenient.
