From A to B

There is one thing I still wanted to talk about when it comes to travelling and that are the ways you can travel. There are so many different ways you can get from A to B but not all have the same value. What I mean is that every single way of traveling has its own special features for example if you go by car from Austria to England you will most likely have to take a longer break somewhere along the way, the upside is that you can visit places and make the journey part of the adventure. The reason why I want to write about this is because I think the journey is an important part of your travels. It can consume quite much time so in my opinions it is very important to look at all the options and then decide what suits you best.


Let’s begin with going somewhere by car. It may be a fast and even cheap option if it comes to shorter distances but the problem is that at least one of the people going with you has to drive so the journey will probably be much more exhausting, even take turns driving. Beside that though there are quite some advantages. For one if you go by car you can take as much language with you as you want, unless it doesn’t fit into the car anymore, than that 

might me a bit too much, unlike if you go by plane where you have to pay for every kilo your language weights more than it should. Furthermore, if you have planned out the rout you are going to take you can just plan in short or longer stops, visiting places that lay on the way. The lovely little town somewhere in Belgium you heard your friends talk about, why not take a detour and see for yourself? Last but not least, when you finally reached your goal you have your car with you and don’t have to rent one or use public transport to go places. So going by car has in fact many positive sites and few negative sites to it and even though you can’t go really far away, like from Europe to America, it’s still worth considering.

The second option is going by train or bus and again you can’t really go that far unless you want to spend day after day doing nothing else but watch the landscape go by. Using public transport like trains is for many people not only one way to travel but also their only way to get to work. But let’s leave work aside for now. Going by either train or bus can come very cheap which might be good for young people who don’t yet earn their own money. You don’t even have to drive yourself because someone else already does that. The problem is though that you should probably not take too much language with you

because you somehow have to get it to the bus/train and away from it again. Neither can you just say you have heard about a place worth visiting and ask if you could go there for a bit, not on a bus and even less on a train. What you can do thought, at least if you go by train is that you could just get off at one stop, lock your language somewhere and get on the next train again after having visited the village where you went off the train. Especially for train rides there are several different discounts which can make your traveling experience even cheaper. This option, going my train or bus can be quite enjoyable, watching the landscape go by, not having to do anything and it can be really cheap (but if you don’t look long or close enough it can be awfully expensive). The downside is though that it takes a long time and you can’t take too much language with you.

The third and last one I want to talk about is flying. I personally hate it but this entry shouldn’t really be about what I like or dislike. Flying, a very quick way to get to places very far away. You could go practically anywhere on earth by plane, from Europe to Australia, from Australia do America, to Africa, China, Russia and Canada. Flying can be really expensive thought, at least for young people unless they find an offer somewhere for example going to Greece for one week, staying at a hotel plus flight, for so and so much money. But even despite the fact that you can go places you wouldn’t be able to go to any

other way and that it, in comparison to other options, doesn’t take too long to get there, many people don’t like flying. There are enough who enjoy it, the feeling when the plane takes off, seeing the ground underneath and the

sensation while landing. Going by plane can be very tiring though, the check in, security, finding your gate, hoping to not miss your plane and little space on the plane itself. If you add now that your language can only have a certain weight and that you are afraid of flying, it can be quite horrifying. Nevertheless is it a very save way to travel and go somewhere far, far away so in fact flying is quite a miracle.

Reading all that what’s your favourite way of traveling?

Personally I am afraid of flying but really like the fact that I can go places I couldn’t go to any other way. I also greatly enjoy going by train, especially if there are friends with me.
