The word travel can hold a lot of connotations for a lot of people. And all of them are different. There are people who love to travel, and if given the opportunity to do so, they will take it at the drop of a hat. At the same time there are people who just don't like to travel. They enjoy their familiar surroundings, and it will take a pretty good reason to force them out of them.

So why do people travel? People travel for pleasure and people travel for work. These are the two main reasons. There are others, such as traveling to visit a relative or friend, to attend a happy occasion or even a sad one, to watch your favorite football, rugby, gold or any other form of team take part in a major sporting event. Or even take part in one yourself. People travel to see the world, to discover parts of it that they have only read about in books.

Whatever the reason and whatever the framework, traveling is a form of adventure, even for the unwilling.
