From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Travel is the movement of people between distant geographical locations. Travel can be done by foot, bicycle, automobile, train, boat, bus, airplane, ship or other means, with or without luggage, and can be one way or round trip.[1] Travel can also include relatively short stays between successive movements, as in the case of tourism.
Etymology
The origin of the word «travel» is most likely lost to history. The term «travel» may originate from the Old French word travail, which means ‘work’.[2] According to the Merriam-Webster dictionary, the first known use of the word travel was in the 14th century. It also states that the word comes from Middle English travailen, travelen (which means to torment, labor, strive, journey) and earlier from Old French travailler (which means to work strenuously, toil).
In English, people still occasionally use the words travail, which means struggle. According to Simon Winchester in his book The Best Travelers’ Tales (2004), the words travel and travail both share an even more ancient root: a Roman instrument of torture called the tripalium (in Latin it means «three stakes», as in to impale).[citation needed] This link may reflect the extreme difficulty of travel in ancient times. Travel in modern times may or may not be much easier, depending upon the destination. Travel to Mount Everest, the Amazon rainforest, extreme tourism, and adventure travel are more difficult forms of travel. Travel can also be more difficult depending on the method of travel, such as by bus, cruise ship, or even by bullock cart.[3]
Purpose and motivation
Reasons for traveling include recreation,[4] holidays, rejuvenation,[5] tourism[4] or vacationing,[4] research travel,[4] the gathering of information, visiting people, volunteer travel for charity, migration to begin life somewhere else, religious pilgrimages[4] and mission trips, business travel,[4] trade,[4] commuting, obtaining health care,[4] waging or fleeing war, for the enjoyment of traveling, or other reasons. Travelers may use human-powered transport such as walking or bicycling; or vehicles, such as public transport, automobiles, trains, ferries, boats, cruise ships and airplanes.
Motives for travel include:
- Pleasure[6]
- Relaxation
- Discovery and exploration[4]
- Adventure
- Intercultural communications[4]
- Taking personal time for building interpersonal relationships.
- Avoiding stress[7]
- Forming memories[7]
History
Travel dates back to antiquity where wealthy Greeks and Romans would travel for leisure to their summer homes and villas in cities such as Pompeii and Baiae.[8] While early travel tended to be slower, more dangerous, and more dominated by trade and migration, cultural and technological advances over many years have tended to mean that travel has become easier and more accessible.[9] Humankind has come a long way in transportation since Christopher Columbus sailed to the New World from Spain in 1492, an expedition which took over 10 weeks to arrive at the final destination; to the 21st century when aircraft allows travel from Spain to the United States overnight.
Travel in the Middle Ages offered hardships and challenges, though it was important to the economy and to society. The wholesale sector depended (for example) on merchants dealing with/through caravans or sea-voyagers, end-user retailing often demanded the services of many itinerant peddlers wandering from village to hamlet, gyrovagues (wandering monks) and wandering friars brought theology and pastoral support to neglected areas, traveling minstrels toured, and armies ranged far and wide in various crusades and in sundry other wars.[8] Pilgrimages were common in both the European and Islamic world and involved streams of travelers both locally and internationally.[10]
In the late 16th century, it became fashionable for young European aristocrats and wealthy upper-class men to travel to significant European cities as part of their education in the arts and literature. This was known as the Grand Tour, and included cities such as London, Paris, Venice, Florence, and Rome. However, the French Revolution brought with it the end of the Grand Tour.[8]
Travel by water often provided more comfort and speed than land-travel, at least until the advent of a network of railways in the 19th century. Travel for the purpose of tourism is reported to have started around this time when people began to travel for fun as travel was no longer a hard and challenging task. This was capitalized on by people like Thomas Cook selling tourism packages where trains and hotels were booked together.[11] Airships and airplanes took over much of the role of long-distance surface travel in the 20th century, notably after the Second World War where there was a surplus of both aircraft and pilots.[8] Air travel has become so ubiquitous in the 21st century that one woman, Alexis Alford, visited all 196 countries before the age of 21.[12]
Geographic types
Travel may be local, regional, national (domestic) or international. In some countries, non-local internal travel may require an internal passport, while international travel typically requires a passport and visa. Tours are a common type of travel. Examples of travel tours are expedition cruises,[13] small group tours,[14] and river cruises.[15]
Safety
Authorities emphasize the importance of taking precautions to ensure travel safety.[16] When traveling abroad, the odds favor a safe and incident-free trip, however, travelers can be subject to difficulties, crime and violence.[17] Some safety considerations include being aware of one’s surroundings,[16] avoiding being the target of a crime,[16] leaving copies of one’s passport and itinerary information with trusted people,[16] obtaining medical insurance valid in the country being visited[16] and registering with one’s national embassy when arriving in a foreign country.[16] Many countries do not recognize drivers’ licenses from other countries; however most countries accept international driving permits.[18] Automobile insurance policies issued in one’s own country are often invalid in foreign countries, and it is often a requirement to obtain temporary auto insurance valid in the country being visited.[18] It is also advisable to become oriented with the driving rules and regulations of destination countries.[18] Wearing a seat belt is highly advisable for safety reasons; many countries have penalties for violating seatbelt laws.[18]
There are three main statistics which may be used to compare the safety of various forms of travel (based on a Department of the Environment, Transport and the Regions survey in October 2000):[19]
| Mode | Deaths per billion | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| Journeys | Hours | Kilometers | |
| Bus | 4.3 | 11.1 | 0.4 |
| Rail | 20 | 30 | 0.6 |
| Air | 117 | 30.8 | 0.05 |
| Ship | 90 | 50 | 2.6 |

Which sentence is correct?
Origin of travel
Middle English (Northern and Scots), originally the same word as travail (by semantic change from “to toil, labor,” then “to make a laborious journey,” then “to journey,” a change that did not occur in French and other Romance languages). The spelling travel is due to a shift in accent in the 14th century; verb senses were first recorded in 1250–1300; noun senses were first recorded in 1400–50
usage note for travel
The word travel has come to exemplify a common spelling quandary: to double or not to double the final consonant of a verb before adding the ending that forms the past tense ( –ed ) or the ending that forms the present-participle ( –ing. ) We see it done both ways—sometimes with the same word ( travel, traveled, traveling; travel, travelled, travelling ). As readers, we accept these variations without even thinking about them. But as writers, we need to know just when we should double that final consonant and when we should not. Because American practice differs slightly from British practice, there is no one answer. But there are well-established conventions.
In American writing, when you have a one-syllable verb that ends with a single vowel followed by a single consonant, and you want to add a regular inflectional ending that begins with a vowel, you double that final consonant before adding -ed or -ing : stop, stopped, stopping; flag, flagged, flagging. This principle also holds for verbs of more than one syllable if the final syllable is stressed: permit, permitted, permitting; refer, referred, referring. If that syllable is not stressed, there is no doubling of the final consonant: gallop, galloped, galloping; travel, traveled, traveling.
British spelling conventions are similar. They deviate from American practices only when the verb ends with a single vowel followed by an l . In that case, no matter the stress pattern, the final l gets doubled. Thus British writing has repel, repelled, repelling (as would American writing, since the final syllable is stressed). But it also has travel, travelled, travelling and cancel, cancelled, cancelling, since in the context of British writing the verb’s final l, not its stress pattern, is the determining factor. Verbs ending in other consonants have the same doubling patterns that they would have in American writing. An outlier on both sides of the Atlantic is the small group of verbs ending in -ic and one lonely -ac verb. They require an added k before inflectional endings in order to retain the appropriate “hard” sound of the letter c : panic, panicked, panicking; frolic, frolicked, frolicking; shellac, shellacked, shellacking. Canadians, of course, are free to use either British or American spellings.

We know that unfortunately international travel is a mid to long term vision, so if can establish a hub between New Zealand and Australia I think that would be a very positive move, i’m hoping that we’ll get to a stage where our state borders can be relaxed and then we can potentially have a phenomenal New Zealand and Australia cooperation which would allow us to pull our economic resources, pull our trade opportunities but also move together into the future.

Are we missing a good definition for travel? Don’t keep it to yourself…
What is your definition of travel?
So with this article, I wanted to touch upon the concept of traveling itself, as that is what my blog is about. I hope this will make sense, and that you will recognize your traveler-self in there.
According to the Free Dictionary, traveling is to go from one place to another, as a trip; journey. This definition is pretty straightforward, but I think that traveling goes way beyond this.
Do you think that going somewhere must be of a certain period length to be defined as travel? Do you have to actually leave your country to be traveling? What if you go to the next town?
I personally think that traveling happens when you are going anywhere, whether it is 1 hour from home, at the other side of the country, or abroad. However, I think that there is a distinction between traveling inside your country and outside (may be except for the U.S. as it is so big). When I went to Lyon for my studies, it was still in France, but at the other side of the country. I did not see it as traveling really, as I was going to live there for a few years. But still I have noticed differences in behavior and in mindset, to which I adapted and learned from. When I went to Germany or even the U.S. the differences were much larger. It was a completely different culture, and you feel different mainly because you are so far away from home.
Whether your travel distance is short or long, the purpose is the same. The difficulties and challenges might diverge, depending on where you go and how far the host country’s culture is from your own.
Getting out there
Traveling takes some courage. It means going out of your comfort zone, and getting out there, somewhere you do not know anything about. It takes guts to leave the known for the unknown, which is why some people are not into traveling. Some are born with the travel genes, and they are the ones who take advantage of all the possibilities offered to us. No, traveling is not something easy.
Discovering
I think that we can all agree on what I think is the primary goal of travels: discovering. Whether it is for professional or personal purposes, traveling involves discovering new things. By going to foreign territories, you will discover a new culture, new people, new habits, and new customs. Something different from home, to which you are not used to. But different is good, and that is what strives most people to move around. I mean, discovering is simply about opening yourself to others, accepting and learning from differences, and tolerating. You will end you gaining so much experience and learning about yourself as well, which will allow you to grow.
Adapting
Discovering a new culture, new people and new customs then means that you need to adapt. Indeed, we all have different education and opinions, but when you are in a foreign country, you are the minority. This means that you should adapt to the natives’ way of living. It is important not to impose your culture to the host country, as this could be seen as rude and disrespectful. Take advantage of this opportunity to be abroad to learn as much as you can from other people. They can bring you so much! When learning about their culture, you will also be able to share your culture with them, doing a two-way exchange. Do not miss out on what they can bring you, knowledge is what matters the most.
Escaping
I think that another important factor of travel is to escape. When you have been somewhere for some time already, whether it has been for 10 years or 2years, the routine has been created. Your life did not get boring, but you still established an everyday life that does not change much from one day to another. The remedy to this everyday life for certain people is to leave, escape by traveling somewhere. Getting to discover some new places and people will bring you a feeling of freshness and will bring you new energy to come back to your life and go on.
Meeting new people
Besides discovering new cultures and exchanging with people, traveling also involves meeting new people. Whether it is short-term encounters or long-term friendships, we all find people along the road with whom we bond and create memories. Those memories are what matter the most, and something that we share with these specific people, making it very special. Enjoying travel with others makes the journey better. It also means that you get to learn even more from others, who will most likely help you learn about yourself as well. Its just great. I love going somewhere alone and just meet new people, exchanging, going out, sightseeing and having fun. Even if it does not last, and you know you will probably never see them anymore, you just make the most out of this moment.
Freedom
The ultimate purpose of travel is freedom. I think that traveling results in the freedom of the mind and of the body. You are in free circulation, you are not worrying about responsibilities, tasks, or anything related to everyday life. When I think of this aspect, I mostly have backpacking or going around the world in mind. I would definitely see myself leaving with only a backpack and going from countries to countries. The only dependence that you’ll have will be transportation and housing, but that is essential to any travel. The feeling to just going somewhere because you want to is something exceptional. Not really having a goal, just seeing places and visiting, means for me to be free. You are free of movement– which I especially think of since as a European, it is quite easy to go from one country to another.
I have tried not to be too confusing in writing the different factors involved in the way I define travel. We can agree on the fact that travel is difficult to define! It is a small word, but it means so much! But now, I would be interested and curious to know how you would define traveling.
So, in your opinion, what does it mean to travel?
