Travelling with pets

Mary — Sun, 30 May 2010 14:22:39 +0000

People often travel either by themselves, or with other companions. Some though, travel with animals. Pets often will travel with their owner, although how far they travel depends on the animal. Cats, birds and rodents are unlikely travel companions, due to their willingness to ‘do their own’ thing, as well as rodents having many predators. Dogs are the most obvious pets which will follow their owners to far and away depths, with little fuss. Usually, travellers will take their pets abroad when the heat isn’t as hot as it could be, as some pets have a much lower tolerance to hot weather compared to a human’s.

Travelling, with good organisation

Whilst travelling, it is important to have the right tools and equipment. Secondly, also having the relevant amount of equipment is important, as it can be the difference between keeping you alive, and not. Organising yourself before a travel is a necessity, for example; travelling for a week without any organisation would mean lack of, too many tools. Bringing too many tools can weigh you down, and even though there will be plenty for the journey, it will also slow you down. Having too few tools obviously means you would have to find some other means of obtaining them, possibly spending money that needn’t be spent.

Useful lighting equipment

On a travel, some people like to bring lighting equipment. Lighting equipment has several uses, including: helping vision at night time, reacting with cooking equipment, providing heat and fuel for fire. The types of lighting tools vary, and the types used by travellers vary, for different reasons. Many like using lighters on travels, as they are small, can be packed easily, used easily, and when they run out, thrown away well. Opposed to lighters, are matches. The argument of which tool is better includes the fact that there are more of matches, whereas lighters have to be bought separately.

Travelling in cold climates

Most see travelling to foreign, hot and beautiful landscapes. Though some take a rather absurd route, which are cold climates. Two of the most popular climates to be travelled includes the Himalayas, and the Antarctic. The Himalayas are a very difficult set of mountains, which can get to below freezing temperatures, the higher you climb. The Antarctic is one of the coldest places on the planet, with constant crater shifting, which is supposedly due to global warming. Except from avalanches, polar bears, wolfs and visibility, a traveller’s worst danger when taking on cold climates is the freezing cold temperature itself.

Historical sites on travels

Some people travel to view large and beautiful landscapes, whilst others travel to test their own strength and resolve. Some though, travel to locations to see religious and historical sites. There are several destinations in the world which are travelled due to their history, including: Rome, Turkey, England, USA, Scotland and Germany. Some travellers even go to Auschwitz, the Jewish slaughter facility during World War II. Several of the world’s famous sites include: Statue of Liberty, Tower Bridge, Eiffel Tower, Leaning tower of Pisa, Stonehenge and Berlin. For travellers, it is more of a case of seeing the sites themselves than the travel itself.

Travelling via vehicles

Many assume that when you travel, you do so by walking with a rucksack on your back and a walking stick in your hand. However, there is another way of travelling, and that is by vehicle. When travelling over large distances, travelling in a car or on a bike is a lot easier (and allows further travelling). When biking it, a traveller can still have a rucksack on their back, though the weight has to be well proportioned, and the cyclist must have good upper body strength when cycling uphill. In a car, a tent can be brought, as well as cooking utensils, making it easier for travellers to carry their equipment.

Types of travel

When travelling abroad, the people we go with usually lead to a different experience in that destination. There are four types of travelling that people can go on, and they include the following: by yourself, with family, with a boyfriend/girlfriend or with friends. The reason the travelling is different is because the style of humour and contrasts if behaviour radically change. Secondly, the venues in which you visit change due to the interests of the group (i.e. a group of mates may want to go to a club, whereas a family/couple may prefer a bar, or restaurant outside of town etc).

Travelling in the same country

Travelling to destinations in the same country doesn’t appeal to all of us, however, there are those who prefer this to travelling abroad. In your own country, you have your own comforts, weather, language, environments and cuisine. The most travelled place in the UK is down south, due to it being a warmer climate, although most of the UK is travelled due to the history, landscapes and sights to be seen. Most young travellers will travel in England, to get used to the concept of travelling, as well as it being an easy stepping stone to start from (i.e. preferred to a far away country).

Items for travel

Mary — Sun, 04 Apr 2010 14:19:46 +0000

There are several items which should be brought when travelling, to ensure safe travel and enjoyable travel. These simple elements include: tent equipment, food equipment, cleaning items and a set of clothes. The most important travelling item to bring, of course, is money. Tent equipment is vital as it is a shelter for the most hardcore travellers, keeping us warm. Food equipment, such as pans etc are important as when a bar or supermarket is not in site, allowing us to keep ourselves well fed and hydrated, whilst constantly travelling. Cleaning items, and a set of clothes are important as hygiene should always be kept to a high level, whilst spare clothes should be kept incase of dampness, spillages etc.

Traveling abroad

Mary — Fri, 02 Apr 2010 14:18:22 +0000

Travelers who like traveling abroad are usually experienced travelers. This means that for many years, they have visited several countries, treaded different and difficult ground, and learnt how to survive without home comforts. Traveling in a foreign country isn’t just learning how to put up a tent, pace yourself or adapt to a different cuisine, but it also involves speaking that countries language, and knowing your way around. Not all travelers sleep in tents, so making sure to bring the relevant amount of currency is helpful, as well as learning how to organise your finances whilst away (i.e. over a period of weeks/months etc).
