Travelling is a part of life of each of us. If you don’t live in a town you work or go to school you have to commute. Travelling could be also a hobby. Lots of young people like to travel through Europe or America or if they are rich round the world. They found new places, new culture, meet new people. A lot of people travel for their holiday for example to the see or to the mountains. Some people travel abroad to learn new language or to earn some extra money for examle AU-PAIR. It is a job for some people, for instance travel agents, managers professional sportsmen, singers etc. Some people travel far away from their home because of starting new life in a place where they can be free where nobody knows them and where they can be on their own.

Going abroad, travel agency – You have got two possibilities - you can go with travel agency or you can go alone - arrange your own holiday.
With travel agency - package holiday – everything is done for you, you need only money, because the travel agency cares about everything - accommodation, booking, ticket for plain or other kinds of transport. But it could be sometimes very dangerous, because if the travel agency bankrupts, you can stay in the foreign country without help. In this case you have to find out our embassy and ask for help. Or it could happen, that you pay for comfort holiday and you get terrible accommodation without bath, air condition…
But it has got a lot of advantages - you have got special program, you can do a lot of trips with a tour guide a get more information about the town, sights, habits...
Own holiday - you have to care about everything only alone, you have to book the place for accommodation, full or half board, tickets or travel with own car, you have to have own insurance, map. But you can do everything what you want, you aren’t depend on other people.
Necessary documents and things: valid passport, visa, we must change the money, insurance for traveling and for whole stay, phone number for embassy
