Travelling is the act of going from one place to another. There are many reasons why people travel. Some of them need to commute to work or to school. Some peolpe need to travel because of work (businesstrips). They want to learn foreign languages, to get to know new cultures or to see different ways of living. For many of us travelling is a true hobby, because it is really exciting. Nowadays we are able to travel even to distant countries. We can spend our holidays far far away if we have enough money. We can have a nice relaxing holidays by the sea. We can stay there in hotels (five-star hotels are the best but the most expensive), or we can stay in an apartment or villa, of course we can go camping ( live in a tent). which is quite cheap but not very comfortable. On a holiday by the sea we can spend a lot of time on the beach, sunbathing, swimming in the sea, take a trip on a yacht etc. We can go out for the meals to different restaurants. We can also have full or half board in our hotel. It is possible to have all inclusive which means that we can have breakfast, lunch, dinner and also snaks and drinks in the hotel.
Some people prefer to go sightseeing on holiday. They can go to ancient cities and go on sight seeig tours of castels, cathedrals or art galleries. They can see a lot of historical monuments. I think it can be a very enriching experience. I would say that it is worth having a guide on a holiday like this.
If we prefer not to travel alone, we can take advantage of the service offered by travel agencies. The travel agency will usually take care of all our needs (accommodation, transportation, health insurance, accident and baggage insurance). Disadvantages of travel agencies are that you might not have enough free time for yourself.
We can travel in many ways. The simplest way could be to go everywhere by foot. We do not need worry about missing the bus, running out of gas, our car breaking down or getting into a car accident or a trafic jam. But it is not the best idea if we need to travel long distances. Another possibility for travelling is to go by car. Almost every family today owns a car. In the Czech republic we are allowed to drive a car from the age of 18. First we need to pass a driving exam in other to obtain a driver's licence. We can also travel by bus but it may be a little bit uncofortable. We usually use city mass transit buses rather than long-distance buses (coach). We can get around town also by tram, trolleybus and in Prague also by subway train, or we can take a taxi, but it is quite expensive. When we prepare for a trip to distant country or to a different continent, we can travel by car, by coach, ship or aeroplane. The most attractive option is usually to travel by plane. Planes can take us to our destination in a relatively short period of time and it is quite comfortable. Now there are many companies through which you can buy tickets for a reasonable price. A very special type of travelling is hitch-hiking. Mostly it is used by young people who are not afraid to take a risk. I would not try hitch-hiking because I think that is is too dangerous.
