- Why do we travel?
- What is the difference between travelling and holidaying – if any? travelling is an experience. It can be spontaneous or can be planned; can be in a short distance or as a long journey. Travelling doesn’t necessarily mean to have fun — it could be a suffer, or a time to reflect. Travelling can be to a new place, or to familiar places, a revisit. Holidaying is fun-seeking. It usually involves planned trip to a favourite destination where people can enjoy and relax especially when they are off work.
- Why do people write about where they travel to? people learn when they travel, because they mingle with all walks of life, and encounter different cultures and societies. They all inspire people so much that they have the urge to note down such experiences.
The Peninsula by Seamus Heaney When you have nothing more to say, just drive -> writer's block or a breakdown in communication For a day all round the peninsula. The sky is tall as over a runway, ->similar to taking off a plane The land without marks so you will not arrive ->unspoilt But pass through, though always skirting landfall. ->traveling is more about the journey At dusk, horizons drink down sea and hill, ->Tremendous sense of peace and calm The ploughed field swallows the whitewashed gable And you're in the dark again. Now recall ->the landscape stays with the witness The glazed foreshore and silhouetted log, ->sense of peace That rock where breakers shredded into rags, ->power and solidity of the landscape which overpowers the tide The leggy birds stilted on their own legs, ->no sense of urgency Islands riding themselves out into the fog ->personification, not as ominous And drive back home, still with nothing to say ->nothing changed seemingly Except that now you will uncode all landscapes ->traveling may be an escape or way to find solutions By this: things founded clean on their own shapes, ->nature left to its own devices Water and ground in their extremity
