WHY DO PEOPLE TRAVEL?

     Have you ever asked yourself how would be our lives without travelling? Living always in the same place, with the same people? Sincerely, I can't imagine the life in this way. It's been ages since the human being started to travel, looking for new settlements, where their lives were more comfortable, conquering other countries or battling the enemy. Nowadays, have our reasons changed? Of course, now we have a lot of different motives to travel. If we would ask in airports or bus stations, we were surprised about the amazing reasons to travel.

 

     To start with, we must take in account the big quantity of people travelling each day by plane, car of ferry because of their job, visiting customers, doing business or simply managing to find a new work.

 

     Another interesting reason to travel is to meet your relatives or friends during the summer or at Easter, sharing with them your holidays or your free time. Many of us have family living abroad and this is a good opportunity to travel.

 

     In addition, many people, specially students, decide to improve their studies or to get a master's degree in a University in another city or country, then they have to travel and, from time to time, they come back home.

 

     We can find another relevant reason to travel: health reasons. In some cases, people have to travel looking for an appropriate medical treatment in a foreign hospital, or in another city. Yet, there is somebody that looks for better prices, for example, in South Africa there exists a very good plastic surgery, really inexpensive, then people go on holidays there, going back home with a new appearance, surprising neighbours and friends.

 

     On the other hand, the motive that moves more  people is leisure. The big majority travels mostly because they want  to visit new places, beaches, cities or countries, wanting to know other cultures, other gastronomies. To sum up, they want to go sightseeing.

 

     Finally, I'd like to tell that for me, travelling is one of the most greatful experiences. I feel very well when I travel, even though I can find little disadvantages that I forget quickly. I encourage everybody to travel as much as possible; after a trip you will live more relaxed enjoying the memory.
