Travel: Essential and For Pleasure

Travel is something which people do every day. It is very difficult to avoid the need to travel. It may be a trip to school, university or to work. Travelling can often take a long time, especially when you need to cover great distances. People often enjoy travelling abroad for holidays. But for some people travelling is not fun at all. Some people suffer from travel sickness. This means that they will become very unwell each time they travel.

Travelling can be either affordable or costly. It often depends on how far you want to travel and the choice of transport. Using a bicycle will not cost anything as you power it by using your legs. However, the use of a bicycle can be hard work and can take a lot of time to travel long distances. Cars and motorcycles are faster modes of transport, but are more expensive to use because gasoline is needed for them to work. The longer you wish to travel, the more expensive and time consuming it will be.

The use of a plane is necessary for people wanting to travel very long distances. A pilot will fly a plane from an airport for many thousands of miles to take people to places far away. Traffic is not a problem for airplanes, but it can take a lot of preparation to travel by plane. People often need to arrive at the airport three hours before departure. A train is another mode of transport and it is ideal for travelling long distances within the same country, or between countries.

A train driver will stop at train stations on route to allow passengers wishing to proceed to the scheduled destination to board the train.

You can travel to a number of destinations by using the sea. People often depart from a harbour in a ferry driven by a captain. If the journey is a long distance, people may choose to sleep on the ferry while they wait to arrive at their destination. Some people choose to go on a cruise for their holiday, which would involve stopping at many different city ports for a short amount of time. People who need to travel short distances may choose not to use any transport at all. People often use their legs to take them to places nearby. This is often encouraged because certain modes of transport damage the environment.
