REASONS WHY PEOPLE GO TO THESE PLACES
TEXT A
WHY DO PEOPLE TRAVEL?
Written by Matty G
Most people at some point in their life will have an urge to travel. This may be a two week
holiday to somewhere warm to top up your suntan or this could be a life changing year
long trip. Everyone will have their own reasons for travel but most are triggered by
something. This may be an event or could be a sudden change of feeling giving you the
desire to fly the nest and set off on an adventure.
After speaking to people I have met travelling, I have discovered, what I believe, are the
main reasons why people go travelling.
Visit Family
Some family members move to another country. It can be on the other side of the world or
just in another country next to yours. No matter where they are you will want to visit them
at some point or another. The great thing about family visits is not only that you get to
catch up with loved ones you get to see how they live and get up close and personal with
their new culture. These new cultures could also encourage you to explore different parts
of the world yourself.
Spend time with friends
A Gap Year or world trip can be described as the best time of your life. The memories you
will make are enough to last you a life time, what better way to enjoy these memories than
with friends. Planning a holiday with friends can be a great way to say goodbye before
heading off to college / uni or just a great thing to do together as something you will always
remember. I mean who wouldnt want to travel from country to country relaxing of different
beaches every day with your best friend. I know I would.
Escape the colder climate
No matter where you live chances are you will, at some point, moan about the climate that
you are in. Im too hot or Its too cold. Lots of people travel simply to escape the climate
they experience on a daily basis. People who live in colder climates race to the sunshine
to top up their tans and countries which are constantly hot may travel to places to try
activities such a skiing which they could not do in their home country.
Discover a new culture
Some people like adventures and to escape their normal monotonous life. They like not
knowing what they can expect and want to deepen their knowledge in other lifestyles. How
do other people live? What do they eat? What are their habits, norms and values? What
are their houses like? And what better way to do this than by exploring the world.
Wanderlust
Wanderlust is a strange word but what does it mean? Descended from the German word
Wander meaning to walk and Lust which is described as A very strong or irresistible
impulse. In short it means that you travel because you have the urge to. You may not have
one particular factor that made you book a flight. All you know is that you want to travel
and you want to travel NOW!
Whatever the reason you decide to travel I have no doubt you will have the most amazing
time and will catch the Travel Bug and never want to stop.
