Learning Some TRAVELING SKILLS

What is travel? Travel is the traveling of individuals between very far away geographical locations. Travel can either be one-way or round-trip, by foot, car, plane, train, boat or any other means and is one way or multiple ways to get from one point to another. Traveling by land, air or water involves moving from a specific location to another at a fixed speed. Moving by land is usually accompanied by the elements such as temperature, weather, and traffic jams; whereas, air or water travels by itself and is typically more relaxed and less disruptive.

When people talk about traveling, they usually refer to one of two forms of human activity: walking and riding a vehicle. People have been traveling for thousands of years, beginning with the earliest stone tools that may date back to the Paleolithic Era. Today, traveling can involve road travel, cycling, hiking, skiing, strolling, bicycling, riding a horse, cart or other vehicles, flying on an airplane or boat and any other number of activities. As stated above, there are different ways to travel and most often, when people refer to “traveling,” they are referring to traveling by one or more means. For instance, when someone mentions a vacation, people usually think of visiting relatives, going on an extended vacation, renting a house or condo, spending time in the spa or doing some form of escapade at a world class resort.

In today’s modern world, the majority of travel in the United States takes place in car. Approximately, 45% of all American trips are car trips. When traveling, whether by automobile, plane, train or boat, the traveler expects to encounter some form of interruption along the journey. The ability to read, write and listen in English is considered a basic prerequisite for traveling but many Americans take pride in speaking and reading their native language.

For those who have the desire to travel, taking the time to learn and practice traveling phrases in american english is a great way to save time and money when travelling. Learning the correct pronunciation of a particular word or phrase while travelling can help avoid unnecessary communication problems. Another way to save time when travelling is to plan ahead.

Many people prefer the preferred spelling of certain words and/or phrases while travelling and while making a packing list, it is important to ensure that the correct spelling of the words or phrases is noted.
