Romanticizing Travel:
There is a risk of celebrating and romanticizing the travel, when in reality people transfer or give credit to the travel, when in reality they love their final destination. Few people like to sit in buses, trains, planes and automobiles for extended period of time, this is the nature of travel, sitting on our butt, and waiting to arrive.

Travel Defined:
Travel is movement of people between relatively distant geographical locations for any purpose and any duration, with or without any means of transport. Travel also includes relatively short stays between successive movements. Movements between locations requiring only a few minutes are not considered as travel.

Etymology
The term "travel" originates from the Middle English word travail. The term also covers all the activities performed during a travel (movement).

Purpose of travel include recreation or tourism, research travel for the gathering of information, for holiday to visit people, volunteer travel for charity or, migration to begin life somewhere else, religious pilgrimages and mission trips, for business trade or commuting, and other reasons, such as to obtain health care or fleeing war. Travel may occur by human-powered transport such as walking or bicycling, or with vehicles, such as public transport, automobiles, trains and airplanes.

Motives to travel include relaxation, discovery and exploration, interpersonal relationships and getting to know other cultures. Travel may be local, regional, national (domestic) or international. In some countries, non-local internal travel may require an internal passport, while international travel typically requires a passport and visa. A trip may also be part of a round trip, which is a particular type of travel whereby a person moves from their usual residence to one or several locations and returns.
