Travelling is very popular in the 20th century. People can travel on their holidays or they want to see the most beautiful sights of world’s famous metropolis and places, meet new people and friends, for fun, eat something unusual and see the way of life in various countries. Some people travel on business, for political or cultural reasons. Others travel for scientific purposes.
Travelling has also some disadvantages. It may be very dangerous, we can meet bad people, we can get lost, be murdered or our money may be stolen. For some people travelling is very expensive.
There are many means of transport to choose from. Young people like hitchhiking or just hiking. Some people prefer going by car, by air, by train, by bus, on a motorcycle or riding a motorbike, a bike or even a horse. In London you can travel by a double-decker, in Prague by tram and in Brno by trolley-car. Other kinds of travelling is going on a yacht, canoeing, gliding, hot-air ballooning, windsurfing, skateboarding or roller-skating. In Europe it is very popular now to travel by residential cars in which you can have everything for your personal use.
The most frequent public means of transport are buses and trains. The network of bus and train stops covers most inhabited places. Public transport is cheaper, but also less comfortable. The bus and train stops in major cities are called stations. In big cities underground (subways, tube) with several different tracks have been built in order to relieve the trams and buses. They are the fastest means of urban transport and the underground trains usually go every five minutes on average. I think it is the safest transport. The taxi (cabs) in big cities can just be called by phone or hailed while they pass by in the street.
In trains you can have a seat reservation. Overnight in train is more comfortable in condrette on berth in sleeping car. You can eat here in dinning car.
Water-transport: You can use boat or ship. But more practical is ferry, when you have a lot of luggage or car. The advantage of this transport is that it is an inexpensive and the disadvantage is that you can become sea-sick.
Air-transport: Planes and helicopters are the fastest way of travelling for long way. An air ticket provide you a comfort. The disadvantage are a limited weight of our luggage, dependent on the timetable and the expensive tickets. Before you go inside the plane you must be checked, show the passport and have a boarding card.
When going abroad we must get necessary documents. First of all a valid passport and a visa (to some countries we still need a visa which we can get at a local embassy in Prague). One of the most important things is to take health insurance. Besides, we must change money to hard currency in a bank or at an exchange office. We can use travellers chequer, cash or credit cars. When going by train (or fast train, or express), we must buy tickets (single or return, first or second class), and when we fly, we must get air (or flight) tickets and find out our flight number and departure time.
You may to take hold map of country, plan of town and guidebook. But these things are often selling in that place where you going to stay.
We should know foreign languages because it is important for making ourselves understood. Most people all around the world speak English and in Europe German can be used as a world languages as well.
Travelling does not mean only going abroad but also seeing interesting places in our country or commuting to work or to school. People usually commute by train or bus, in big cities they can go by tram or the underground or take a taxi.
In our state there are many state and private travel agencies. Through travel agencies people have their trips, tickets and accommodation reserved. This tours are called package tours.
But for someone is better to travel individual - make own route. You can stop where you want to and you can change your plans.
A lot of students that travel don’t stay at the hotels, but in Youth hostels that are convenient for not se rich people. The payment is for overnight and breakfast. That is the reason of calling this hostels Bed and Breakfast.
In hotel you can pay only for half board or full board and stay in single room, double room and twin room.
Maybe you prefer to rent a room in a private house.
For travelling we can use many kinds of luggage according to the kind of trip.
We use a knapsack for a longer sports journey, we can fix a tent and sleeping bag to it.
We use a rucksack when going for a walk or to school.
We use a suitcase when we go by a coach and we need not carry it so often. We use it when we take a fine dress or suit for our evening entertainment and we do not want it to be enfolded.
When you want to see monuments of history or interesting places in a short in you can go on Express tour. You travel by a bus with a toilet, buffet and TV. But I think, that it is very frustrating and exhausted, because you sleep in a bus.
In our family we always used to discuss our holiday plans together. We like and respect one another and each member of the family has his or her own experience. The more we talk about our common problems the better solution we are able to come up with.
I like prepare things for travelling I usually pack my luggage one week before we’re leaving. I catch travel fever. I would like to take on holidays lot of things, but I must choose the most important ones, because I don’t want to have more luggage, than I am able to carry. Before my departure I buy a map or guide book. I take some food sometimes, but I prefer going to a restaurant. When I go to seaside I pack many dresses and when I go to camp or cottage I pack sports clothes. Of course I can’t forget about swimsuit, sun glasses, suntan cream, airbed, flippers and straw hat.
The most I like is air transport. It is fast and comfortable, but expensive. I also like travelling by train.
Every summer holidays and almost every Christmas holidays we are going by the sea. When I’m at the seaside I like to pick shells and pebbles. I’m sunbathing, than I’m sun-tanned and sometimes sunburned. Someone when is at the sea or bank of a river like to do other things. For example row in boat, punt, raft or paddle in canoes and kayak. Very nice must be sale down the river.
I have been in Greece, Italy, Spain, Poland, Germany, Portugal, Turkey, Bulgaria, Croatian, Latvia, Austria, Switzerland, Sweden, Great Britain, Egypt, Tunis, Dominicans Republic, Haiti, USA, Thailand, France, Grant Canary and Rumania. It is a lot of places and but I want to see more countries, I want to now more cultures and more people. For example Scotland, India, Australia and some African countries like Zaire. But I like also holidays in Czech Republic. I love sunbathe by the river or lake. I like walk about in mountains and be in a nature.
The most beautiful holidays were this Christmas holidays in Dominicans Republic. I see there very exotic nature. I love the blue s
