Travel is one of the most beautiful experiences a human can have in his life, as it opens up new horizons, increases his knowledge and culture, and gives him a chance to get to know different people, places and cultures. Travel is also a means of entertainment and relaxation, as it frees the human from the pressures of daily life and enables him to enjoy the scenic nature and comfortable atmosphere. Travel is also an opportunity for development and challenge, as it urges the human to get out of his comfort zone, face new and difficult situations, and develop his skills and abilities.

But why do people travel? Is there one reason that unites all travellers? Of course not, the reasons for travel vary from person to person, and from time to time. Some people travel for social reasons, such as improving living conditions, studying, marriage, or visiting relatives and friends. Some people travel for health reasons, such as treatment, getting rid of stress and anxiety, or improving physical fitness. Some people travel for tourism reasons, such as seeing natural and animal reserves, coastal cities, or historical and cultural landmarks. Some people travel for personal reasons, such as fulfilling a dream, changing a routine, or discovering oneself.

That’s why we say that travel is a state of human states, as it is part of its nature and personality. Every human has an inner motive that makes him want to roam and go out and explore. But every human also has circumstances, preferences and a goal that determines his destination and way of travel. Travel is not an end in itself but a means to achieve a goal. And the goal is what makes travel enjoyable, useful, and fruitful.
