TRAVELLING: WHAT A PASSION! The new trend of the moment is travelling: for holiday, for job or to find yourself. More and more people decide every day to prepare the suitcase and to leave their home to discover new places. We are talking about people of all ages: teenagers, young and adult people, but also old and retired people. The question is: which are the reasons that push people to travel? The most important one is surely the development of methods of transport. First of all, if in the past people could travel only by car, ship or train, today they can use also the airplane. This is a real revolution, because flying, people can travel to far countries in a shorter time. Moreover, today there also a lot of high speed trains which people could use to reach other cities in their country. However, unfortunately, the prices of the major part of the flights are very high and often, people prefer travelling by car, instead by train, because in this way they don’t have to respect a timetable. On the other hand, another possible factor that has contributed to the rise in international travel could be the role of the media. Thanks to TV programmes, films or magazines, people have known other cultures and they can satisfy their curiosity only travelling. To sum up, in my opinion, people’s curiosity plays an important role in the wish to travel but, without the development of methods of transport, this great increase in international travel wouldn’t have been possible.
