People on our planet like to travel . Children and adults , young and old cannot live without travelling . Why do people travel ? Some people travel because they need a change of air , others because they are tired of making money . Many people start travelling because they want for a few weeks to be really happy . Such people travel for pleasure . Sometimes people travel on business . Our planet is a wonderful place for travelling . People sail small bouts across seas and oceans , they cross the deserts , explore the North Pole, they conquer the highest mountain tops . Some people cross the countries they live in , others cross the whole continents . They travel by trains , planes , ships , cars , bicycles , on foot . Many people make travelling the part of their life . We admire such people , because they usually have strong will , good reaction , they are not afraid of hardships .
