Men have traveled ever since they first appeared on the earth.
Long ago, they did not travel for pleasure but to find new places where their cattle could feed, or to keep away from their enemies, or to find more favourable climate(气候). They traveled on foot. Their journey were long, tiring, and often dangerous. They protected themselves with simple weapons, such as wooden sticks or stone clubs, and by lighting fires at night and, above all, by keeping together.
Very soon they discovered easier ways of traveling. They rode on the backs of their tame animals; they made boats out of tree trunks so as to travel across water.
Later they travelled, not for necessity, but for the job and excitement of seeing and experience new things. This is still the main reason why we travel today.
Travelling, of course, has now become a highly organized business. There are cars and splendid roads, express trains, huge ships and jet planes, all of which make travelling comfortable and safe.
