It's always interesting to discover new things, different ways of life, to meet different people, to try different food, to listen to different musical rhythms. Second reason to travel is to meet people and experience new cultures. When I travel I always try to find some friends from other countries. Then we keep in touch in social networks, talking about our countries, our interests, which also helps me to practice my English – another advantage of travelling.Thousands of people travel every day either on business or for pleasure.
