Travelling.
Thousands of people spend their holidays travelling. They want to enjoy fun-filled holidays. People often choose a country that has something for everyone. They travel to enjoy picturesque places and also to see old monuments and historical places.
They travel by ships up and down the rivers, make voyages along the seas and oceans. They hike in the forest, climb over the mountains. They admire the beauty of snow-cowered mountains, of sunny valleys, vast forests.
A
lot of people travel by their own cars along the roads of their state or some foreign countries.
Nowadays people have many advantages for travelling in every country there are lots of travel agencies.
There you can order tickets to every point of the world. These agencies also make discounts to the children and to the students.
There are many ways to travel one of them is hiking. Hiking is becoming very popular. People like to spend their days off in the country. There are picturesque places near every town with forests, lakes and rivers.
It is pleasant to spend a day chatting, joking and singing with friends on the bank of the river or a lake and cooking food on an open fire.
They return home cheerful and well-rested.
In my opinion the best way to travel is by plain. You can easily book a ticket in a booking office. Travelling by air has some advantages of course. It is more convenient and much faster than any other means of travelling. Before you board the plane you hand your luggage. You don't take it with you. The stewardess greets the passengers and shows them to their seats. She asks the passengers to fasten their seat belts and not to smoke when the plane takes off. During the flight some of the passengers read, others chat or look out of the window enjoying the beautiful scenes from the height.
Now I will describe my most exiting journeys. If you are looking for sandy beaches, sparkling water and clear sky without the bother of expensive hotels you must go to Spain. Spain isn't a country that can easily be ignored by the most demanding visitor. It is the destination of thousands of visitors who come every year to experience the beauty of one of the interesting countries in the world. The streets of Spain are not so noisy as in New York, but there are also the sounds of car horns beeping. But in general it is a quiet country with friendly people. The weather there is hot that's why I took all light clothes with me for e.g.: sandals, sun-hat,
T-shirts, shorts etc. There were a lot of swimming pools that's why I included swimming costume.
Sunglasses were always with me, because of the straight sun rays. The most exciting thing about Spain is how much there is to see and do there.
For sightseers there is a cathedral of Sth. Family, Daly's museum, there are hundreds of art galleries. Lovers of fun and extreme can visit a park entertainment: Port Aventura. Alternatively if you are a sport fan you can visit a football stadium Barcelona and watch a football match.
The night life in Spain is equally brilliant, with a wide variety of restaurants, bars and nightclubs to choose from.
Spain is a lively and exciting country to visit with something for everyone, and is recommended to anyone seeking fun, variety and adventure.
I have many good impressions and no complaints about my last journey. Everything was wonderful because we relaxed on golden beaches in the shade of palm trees. I feel very happy and fortunate. The most important is that I hadn't dull moments.
But there is a proverb which says: "East or West home is best!" And I agree there is no more convenient and best place as home. I can say that my house for me is my sweet home!!!
Travel Wise
Many of us look forward to our summer holidays all year. We can’t wait to get away from our everyday lives, to visit new places, try new things, or just to relax and lie in the sun. But how many of us think about the effect our holidays have on the place we visit?
Although tourism has many benefits, such as bringing money into the local economy, there are also negative effects. Tourism can do all sorts of damage to the environment, the culture and the people of a country, especially in places which aren’t prepared for large numbers of holidaymakers. In recent years there has been a large increase in the number of independent travelers who want to get off the beaten track and this has meant that many remote destinations have to adjust to new visitors.

It certainly isn’t all bad news though. The last few years have also seen a huge increase in ‘eco-tourism’.
This is tourism where holidaymakers try to have a positive effect on the people and places that they visit. If you are really committed to this idea, then you can spend your holidays helping out on an organic farm in
Britain, or taking part in conservation projects in Africa or the Amazon rainforest. Don’t worry, though, if this doesn’t sound like your idea of a holiday. Wherever you go and wherever you want to do, there are still ways to make sure that you have the best possible impact on your holiday destination.
If you are heading off to a place for the first time, it is an excellent idea to find out as much about it as you can. A guidebook is a great place to start. As well as learning about the local places of interest, you can read about the way you will be expected to behave and dress. This can save you from making embarrassing mistakes and means that you are less likely to upset or offend your hosts. Don’t stop at the guidebook, though. If you can, listen to some music or read some read some literature from your chosen destination.
Knowing a little about the place that you are visiting before you leave can make your holiday much more enjoyable when you arrive.
It is also important to think about how you spend your money when you are on holiday. Whenever you can, try to put it into the local people’s hands. You can do this by eating and drinking local products rather than imported brands, staying in locally owned accommodation and using local guides. In some parts of the world, you might be relatively well off compared to the local population. Even in places where you are expected to haggle or bargain, you should always pay a fair price for things. Remember that what might be a very small amount of money to you, can 48 make a big difference to some people.
Another important thing for the eco-tourist is to have as little effect on the local environment as possible.
This is easy to do if you follow some common-sense advice. Don’t leave litter lying around and use biodegradable products whenever possible. If resources like water or fuel are in short supply, then use as little of these as you can, and of course you should never buy products made from rare plants or endangered animals. If you are lucky enough to visit a truly exotic destination such as a coral reef, remote mountain or desert region, or a rainforest then you should try to leave it exactly as you found it, so that future visitors can enjoy it just as you did.
Eco-tourism organisations say that respecting the culture and environment of the places that you visit will lead to much more rewarding and enjoyable holidays. If we try to encourage the local economy, leave the environment undamaged and are aware of the different laws and attitudes in the places we visit, then all of us can enjoy our eco-holidays’ much better now and in the future. With more and more of us planning holidays in new locations every year, we should all do our bit to make sure that we are always welcome wherever we go.
