TOURISM

Our life has become very monotonous and routine. Day after day we take care of mundane matters such as work, study and household chores. People complain about lack of free time and as a result very often we see crowds of gloomy, exhausted and bored by their routines people. What can inspire us and arouse new emotions? The answer is obvious, it`s travelling.

If you want to experience a whole new environment, to see new places and meet new people, travelling is the right way. Travelling on business allows people to get more information about achievements of other companies. Some people travel for educational purposes or they visit their distant relatives and friends.

Nowadays people can travel in different ways. They usually travel by air, by rail, by sea or by road. All means of travel have their advantages and disadvantages. And people choose one according to their likes and financial possibilities. Of course, travelling by air is the fastest and the most convenient way, but it is the most expensive too. Travelling by train is much slower, but it has its advantages. Modern trains have not only very comfortable seats, but also you can see much more interesting places of the country you are travelling through. Speed, comfort and safety are the main advantages of trains and planes. That is why many people prefer them to all other means. Travelling by sea is popular mostly for pleasure trips.

As for me I prefer travelling by car. I think it`s very convenient. You don`t need to reserve your tickets. You don`t need to carry heavy suitcases. You don`t depend on the timetable. You are free to stop and change the direction whenever you want.

As far as reasons for travelling are concerned, people travel to see other countries and continents, modern cities and the ruins of ancient towns, to enjoy picturesque places. It is always interesting to discover new things and other ways of life, to meet different people, taste different food, examine various architectural styles, visit museums and art galleries. Travelling is a remarkable key to understanding other cultures, a wonderful opportunity to learn more about the world we live in.
