  1. This article clearly shows that the author must be really passionate about travelling.

    It's difficult for me to relate because I am not much of a traveler, although I heard many stories about those 70s backpackers and trips to India. Even Steve Jobs described it with detailed in the interviews for his biography. At first sight it looks really cliché, but many people including Jobs emphasize the influence that Travelling to Asia have had on their lifes – maybe there is something to it.

    Author seems to be really disgusted by modern trends. I think: It looks different, times are different. Would the author rather use the iPhone or 70s telegram service ?

  2. Right now, I am the person who doesn’t travel a lot but I‘m always well prepared for my journey.
    I have never use travel agencies before but I have heard that you must be carful with them.
    I would definitely never try hitchhiking because I prefer trains or cars.
    I don't agree that everything has been discovered. Still on Earth there are so many places undiscovered and every day you can find something new. You can't go on a journey and think " yeah I saw it on google” or something like that. To see something in real is something worth to seeing no mater how many pictures you saw of it.
    For me there are a lot reasons for traveling. For me there are a lot reasons for traveling. I travel because I love to see for fun or I love visiting new places and discover new things because it is a lot of fun.

  3. Traveling is in my opinion one of the greatest things in life. It is not only mu hobby but mostly eye-opener, something that inspires me and makes me amazingly happy. I used to prepare all plans for holiday trips by myself, but I see that it is changing. While me and my family is getting older it is much easier to buy all inclusive trip in travel agency instead of taking care of everything by ourselves.

    I absolutely disagree that everything has been discovered. We could say as well that there are pictures of everything, or nobody can invent anything, because everything is already found. Life is unexpectable and this is great.

    What i do not like in trips prepared by travel agencies is that all cities are shown only from the best side. Guides only shows the most popular places, everyone is sent to the best advertised restaurants. But I prefer to see reality. How looks like daily life of born citizen, how looks other streets then only main ones. And very often I am shocked because of the contrast.

    I travel to run from everything that I have to deal day by day :)

  4. I really like to travel but usually I don't have many opportunities to travel, because most of my friends rather prefer to stay at home, but I have some friends who like to hitchhike, 2 years ago they travelled across whole Europe. Maybe I could go with them in the future but I rather prefer to use my own car to travel than hitchhike. I also like to use my bicycle to travel but only for short distance around 50-200km and 1 day trips. Maybe next year I would try myself in a longer trip around 1000-1400km I think it would be fun.

  5. 1. How do you travel ?
    Plane, car, train, bike, motorbike, rollerblades, boat. anything that moves
    All Inclusive, self-organized or travel agencies ?
    Depends. When I want to rest, I go with agencies and all inclusive. Other times, I organize something myself
    2. Do you agree with the fact that everything has been discovered ?
    Lol. Yes and no. For me, no. there are so many things yet to be discovered by me :)
    3. Why do you travel?
    Fun. Nothing else. No bigger pictue. I want to see things,i want to take pictures of things. There is so much on this world for all of us to see.

  6. When I travel its usualy by car or by plane. Almost always I chose the All inclusive package. I love to relax during my holiday but sometimes I also visit around. I am sure there are still places around the world where humans havent yet been.

  7. I love to travel and explore new places. My biggest dream is to meet as many interesting places. Usually my travels are organized by me and my friends, but smometimes we choose all inclusive option. Personally I prefer trips with lots of attractions and activities.

    I disagree that everything has been discovered. Perhaps all the places have been visited by someone, but not by me. For me, the world is still full of mysteries and places to discover. Still I see new places in the pictures on the internet and in everyday life.

    Why I travel, heh that's odd question. To know other places, people, cultures etc.
    However I don't like all inclusive nor travel agencies. Best trips are self organized. It costs a few days of preparing but it worth. I'm not attached to one place or hotel. I can visit every place i want to and all trip is much cheaper. That my opinion.
    I can't agree with fact that every place has been discovered. On the earth is much places i.e tropical forests or some islands where humans never been.

  9. Usually I travel to safe and proven places. Holidays it is a time of rest for me. I travel mainly to those places, which are probed and known.

    Certainly, there is still a lot to discover. But for me it is rather not an adventure.

  11. 1. I prefer traveling with my car. It make me independent. Often I make spontaneous decisions. if I was on a trip, eg. bus I could not do that. If the trip is short and the weather is good I prefer outdoor activities. Then the bike is perfect.

    2. Yes I agree.

    3. I like to travel, to explore, to learn the culture, to see a different world than the one that I see daily. Travelling teaches self-reliance, develops knowledge. If I travel abroad also I practice the language in practice.
