The most dangerous the safest the fastest the slowest the most expensive the cheapest the most comfortable the most uncomfortable the most exciting the most boring the best the worst by bus by car by train by plane by ship by bicycle by motorcycle on foot on horseback is Traveling

Traveling is very popular nowadays. Go to a railway station, a port or an airport in this country or abroad and you will see hundreds of people who want to go somewhere and to get there as quickly as possible. The fastest way of traveling is by plane. With a modern airliner you can travel in one hour to a place which takes a day to travel by train. Traveling by train is slower than by plane, but it nevertheless has its advantages. You can see the country you are traveling through and not only the clouds as you are flying. There are sleepers and dining-cars in passenger trains which make even the longest journey enjoyable. Some people like to travel by ship and enjoy a sea voyage or a river trip. Many people like to travel by car. Traveling by car also has its advantages: you will never miss your train, ship or plane; you can make your own time-table; you can stop wherever you wish. Traveling by car is popular for pleasure trips while people usually take a train or a plane when they are traveling on business. Traveling means getting about town too. There are many ways of getting about town. You may use tram, bus and trolley-bus routes, taxi service or the Metro. Trams, trolley-buses and buses stop to pick up passengers at special stops. Sometimes the tram, bus or trolley-bus you are on do not take you right to the place you want to go. In this case you have to take another tram, bus or trolley-bus. It means you have to change trams, buses or trolley-buses. In the Metro we often have to change for other lines.

For me there is nothing like travel by air; it is more comfortable, more convenient and, of course, far quicker than any other method. There is none of the dust and dirt of a railway or car journey, none of the trouble of changing from train to steamer and then to another train.

With a train you have speed, comfort and pleasure combined. From the comfortable seat of a railway carriage you have a splendid view of the whole country-side. If you are hungry, you can have a meal in the dining-car; and if a journey is a long one you can have a wonderful bed in a sleeper.

The journey by bus very popular. It is convenient to travel from city to city and from country to country. In the journey you can admire the endless landscape and at the same time comfortable to relax. It is also nice to have a guide who will tell you about interesting new places.

Couchsurfing is a global community of 7 million people in more than cities all over the world. Each of them can invite another person from community to visit his homeplace, native city or be invited somewhere, for example to visit boarding country. It is really interesting.

History Couchsurfing has begun in 2004 as a small project by founders Casey Fenton, Daniel Hoffer, Sebastian Le Tuan and Leonardo Bassani da Silveira. This group of students in Iceland had the idea, that people anywhere would want to share their homes with strangers (or, as they like to call them, friends you met yet).

People can use this program only if they are under 18 years old. Most of the users are the students - young, energetic people. At the free time couchsurfers exchange the information and photos, communicate with each other and compare notes after their last traveling.

Why do people travel? Forms of travel Destinations Before your journey The End

Why do people travel? Bussiness Study
Many people travel for their international companies as managers or bussinessmen.There are many international companies, so people who want to be a good bussinessmen must also like traveling. In modern age, many students study at foreign universities in whole Europe. They take long kilometers to study at best universities. Students also travel to get better in foreign languages, for example English learning courses.

People like staying at the seaside, lying on the beach getting suntan and just relaxing ... That is another reason while a lot of people travel to holiday destinatons like Costa Brava in Spain, Chalkidiki in Greece and many other. Celebrations, funerals, anniversaries or just meetings with friends.

It is fast, comfortable and in nowadays also cheap, so it is the best way to travel.However, there is a danger falling down the plane.Well it is up to you, how you decide ... We have modern busses equipied with television, bar or toilets.They are safer and cheaper than trains, but there are a lot of stops in towns along the way, so traveling can take longer time.

Train car ship Sitting on the train means comfort and socializing for many people.You can have some refreshments served to you directly in your compartement.If you travel at night, you can sleep in a sleeper car to get some rest through night. The dominant form of transport in the 20th and 21st century has been undoubtely car.You can take a car and go anyway you want.Car is symbol of independence and freedom especially in America, where each member of the family has own car. Before air travel was possible, people used to travel long distances by sea. In the first half of the twenty century, grand passanger ships made regular voyages between all the continents.

Motorbike Bicycle Motorbike has one advantage, but many disadvantages, like a form of transport.Advantage is that you are original and well-looking with motorbike, but disadvantages are rain, snow, and motorbike can consist of only two passangers, but as you can see from the photo, it doesn't have to be true ....  Large number of road users have replaced their noisy, smelly four wheelers for a much cleaner and more efficient machine - the bicycle.Countries like Netherlands or Switzerland are famous for protecting their environment and you can see thousands of bicycle in the streets. .... and one illegal type of transport is hitch-hiking ... 

People visit capital cities to know and see history, architecture and life of this city.Tourism is one of the main incomes of capital cities like Prague, Wien or Bratislava. Every year thousands of tourists visit holiday resorts to have a relax after hard whole-year work. In nowadays also a lot of Slovaks like a holiday by sea. Favorite destinations of Slovak people are Bulgary, Croatia, Greece, Italy, Turkey or Spain. People like sea, sun, sand, having fun or just a week or two weeks off spent by sea.

Spending some days on mountains during winter is the best way to relax and income new energy for thousands of people. Tourists like skiing, snowboarding, ice-skating or sledge.Winter sports are widespread also in Slovakia thanks to High Tatras.Well-equipied hotels offer to customers also swimming pools, saunas, vital worlds and programs for long winter evenings. New type of spending your holiday in modern age is agrotourism.Especially inhabitns of big cities find this way of holiday as a best relax.You are accomodated on farm without television, computer or mobile phone. Program of your day is simple, you have to look after animals living on the farm, you can learn a lot about typical agricultural works and you are always on fresh air.
