Most travelers and holiday-makers take a camera with them and take pictures of everything that interests 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.

TRAVELING
There are many ways of spending holidays. Some people like going to the country, others prefer sitting at home and watching TV all day long. But more and more people travel. There are many reasons for traveling. Some people travel on business, others travel to visit their families, but most people travel to see the world and different countries.
There are also a lot of ways of traveling. People can travel by car, by plane, by ship, by train, by coach or on foot. Traveling by plane is the fastest way of travelling. This is the best way to get to a foreign country fast. Modern planes are comfortable and it is very nice to fly to the destination point.
The most comfortable way of traveling is by ship. Modern liners have everything to make people feel nice and comfortable. There are swimming-pools, bars, restaurants and even shops on board a modern liner. People enjoy spending time on the deck looking at the ocean and talking. Sunsets and sunrises are beautiful in the open sea. There are some disadvantages of traveling by ship. The main disadvantage is that traveling by ship is the most expensive way of travel. Tickets cost a lot and some people cannot afford them. Some people can be sea-sick and this is another disadvantage.
Traveling by train is rather popular now, too. People go from one city to another by train if the distance between them is too big, or if they do not have a car. Modern trains are also rather comfortable and traveling by train is convenient and cheap.
Traveling by coach to Europe is rather cheap. There are special international tours by coach when you travel through several countries. Instead of one foreign country, you can see a few of them. However, it also has disadvantages. Some people feel sick in coaches and their trip can be spoilt. It is also not very comfortable to sleep on a seat. Sometimes tourists do not have enough time to see the sights of this or that city.
My favorite way of traveling is traveling by car. I think this is one of the most comfortable means of traveling. You can enjoy the view looking through the window and this way of traveling is rather fast. You can travel to different cities and towns of your native country and even abroad. In summer I like traveling on foot. This way of traveling is called hiking. I take a tent, backpacks, food and start walking. This kind of travel is slow, but you spend a lot of time outside and you do not have to think about tickets. During such hikes, one can see a lot of interesting places and meet new people. It is so nice to sleep in a tent in the open air, too.
If you decide to travel by any means of transport you"ll have to prepare for the trip. If you travel by plane, train or ship, you have to book tickets beforehand. You can do this over the phone or in a travel agency. If you travel by plane, you have to be at the airport two hours before an international flight and one hour before a domestic flight. The officers will check your luggage and you will have to get though the passport control. When you go by train, it is easier, because you have to go through ticket control only.
Traveling is always nice. It gives you an opportunity to see foreigners and interesting places. I love traveling!

Traveling is becoming more and more popular nowadays. Even ten years ago we couldn’t expect that we would be able to travel almost everywhere. Millions of tourists go to different places during the year.

It is said that traveling broadens your mind and it is absolutely true. Even a short trip where you get to know different people and different cultures may change you completely.

It has become a usual thing, for example, for American graduates from school to have so called “gap year” when they don’t go to the university but spend the whole year traveling.

Traveling has become much cheaper now. Thousands of people now decide not to go to the travel agency but to organize the trip by themselves. They book the flight and the hotel, organize the entertainment part and enjoy it.

While there are still people who prefer organized expensive voyages, there are people that prefer low-cost travel. It is the type of travel when you find the cheapest tickets on the plane, travel with your backpack, stay at the host family and have someone from the local people show you their culture.

For many people traveling becomes the way of living. They spend months and years traveling without coming home and seeing their family. They work, travel and enjoy their lives. And in my opinion it is the most important thing - live and enjoy your life.

For many, tourism is becoming a way of life. They spend months and years traveling without ever coming home or seeing their families. They work, travel and enjoy life. And, in my opinion, this is the most important thing - to live and enjoy life.
