Everyone deserves a break and that’s the main reason we look for holidays, long weekends as the year begins where we definitely don’t plan for unplanned leaves and eventually end up with taking offs over the busy fixed schedule. We are social animals and look forward to see each other where we all need to travel even if its related to work and above all the distance doesn’t matter as far as one has a significant purpose with a strong reason to travel.
I personally feel travelling is a choice that we all make as per our convenience, so for me when it comes to travelling there comes a list of things to keep in mind where selecting the mode of transportation is the basic factor which is usually opted by the experience of the traveller and need of time. My parents had ensured that my childhood summer breaks were with various means of transport starting from the public, private and personal vehicle as a result even today I feel confident to travel in any of the services where I personally opt for public transport as I feel it’s more reliable as there I meet new people and get a chance to witness the human nature whereas travelling in private vehicles is something that I would choose when I have to reach somewhere at the scheduled time especially for work, event or there’s a lot of luggage and when it comes to opt for personal vehicle; I choose that very wisely as it’s the fact of parking that bothers me the most; so here I prefer driving a moped or car depending upon the situation and of course walking is something that I always prefer for short distance.
I believe that when it comes to the fact of travelling, the choice has to be made by the traveller as per the situation and I decided to pen my thoughts over my experience of travel so far in life.
And, here we go to explore some facts,
- Public transport —Ensure that you leave before time as it lacks punctuality but will definitely save few bucks. I personally never feel alone in the journey as its always crowded and safety of belongings is a concern so I suggest to carry few items and avoid using mobile phones as its the best chance to observe the human behaviour as major section of the society travel using the public modes of transport like bus or train. The best benefit is when you are on a new route where you can always ask for help from the fellow passenger about your destination else google maps will do the task for sure and the second advantage is that you get to know the route and places in between your destination by just grabbing a seat. I accept the fact that hygiene is a concern when using public mode of transport where I believe that personal habits play a key role so one can always sanitize and take precautions by being aware in the journey.
- Private transport — Ensure that you book the service in advance so that you can save time and have a comfortable journey for the price you pay by opting for private cabs or services. One can also opt for shared cab facility depending upon the availability and number of bags you carry or book a cab service for day to explore the place which you like at your will without worrying about the route and parking as the driver would take care of it and we enjoy the journey especially when your family is accompanying you for the journey.
- Personal transport — It completely depends on what you own and eventually it’s the only self-help option left when you don’t like to be dependent on anything during your journey. I opt for a moped especially when I have multiple stops on the way and car while visiting the grocery store for monthly shopping as the number of bags are more! I would recommend to check for the parking area when you decide to use your own vehicle as that’s the major concern while travelling to new places and mostly checking out google reviews of that place can help us to take a call on it. Also, you need to ensure the condition of the vehicle by taking care of its timely maintenance especially for long trips. A great amount of responsibility and checks come into place while driving your own vehicle as you lead the way following directions as per google maps dealing with traffic!
P.S: I would suggest to choose your type daily commuter, explorer or tourist before you begin the journey, also plan the budget and days with comfortable pair of footwear, bag and clothing as per climate, take tips from blogs or vlog to get idea about that place in advance, create a checklist of items to carry depending on your travel. Stay hydrated and refresh yourself with a nap, music or just grab a book during the travel time and eventually add memories to your life journey. Thanks for reading until end!
