Millions all over the world like travelling.

They
travel to see other countries and continents,
modern cities and the ruins of ancient towns,
they travel to enjoy picturesque places or to
learn about other cultures. It's always
interesting to discover new things and different
ways of life, to meet different people, to try
different food, to listen to different music.
People who live in the country side often like
to go to a big city in order to visit museums
and art galleries, things they don't have at their
hometown. They like to buy in elegant shops
and to dine at exotic restaurants. People from
the city often like a quiet holiday by the sea or
in the mountains where they can sunbath or
walk. Many tourists love taking photographs
of everything that interest them - the sights of
a city, old churches and castles, views of
mountains, lakes, valleys, plains, waterfalls,
forests, different kinds of trees, flowers and
plants, animals and birds.
People travel by train, by plane, by ship or boat and by car. All means of travel have their
advantages and disadvantages. And people choose one according to their plans and preferences.
The fastest way of travelling - is travelling by plane, but the most comfortable is travelling by ship
and the cheapest is travelling on foot.
If we like travelling, we see and learn a lot of things that we can never see or learn at home,
though we may read about them in books and newspapers and see pictures of them on TV. The
best way to study geography is to travel and the best way to get to know and understand the
people is to meet them in their own homes.
