TRAVEL

Author's Note: I came up with the idea about traveling because I was thinking of how much people travel in there life time and what people think of as traveling.

During 50% of Americans lifetime they travel more than a million miles. Even though most think traveling is getting in a plane or in the car and going across a country to some other state , and that’s the only kind of traveling they do. While that is true traveling can be anything like getting in the car and driving across the street or walking a mile to your friend’s house. You’re traveling to those places: but most people don’t think of it that way they think it’s just a trip across town to the grocery store or to the lake. But, that is traveling also, along with traveling very far in a plane or a car.

If you walk or if you run somewhere every day, most people would say they are just going for a walk or for a run. But I believe that when they do that they are traveling if you physically move whether you think it is or not I believe that if you’re physically moving you are traveling. This has an exception though if you are running on the treadmill or doing something in relation to that and aren’t actually going anywhere you aren’t traveling. So that means that that time you spend doing those things don’t count as miles you have traveled.

While walking or running are two ways I believe you can travel don’t forget about those short trips you make across town in your car every day! Most people believe that those little trips they take in to town for groceries, and for gas. That is traveling because it is those trips that make up the millions of miles you travel in your lifetime. These count for traveling because it is miles being added to your car that you are traveling in.

Even though little every day trips are a big way to travel most people travel by train and subway everyday because they don’t have a car. So most people who travel that way are traveling to work or to their homes to get to where they need to go. This is traveling even though you are not driving you are moving from point A to point B. You aren’t moving like walking or running but you are getting somewhere because when you step on that moving object and then you step off you're in a totally new location.

Traveling I truly believe is done in many different ways and it is hard for people to understand 

 how easy it is to travel millions of miles in their lifetime. You can travel physically like walking or running or in a moving vehicle, you really have to stop and think about how many times you travel in a day in a week or even in a month, it adds up. I could barley believe when I actually stopped and thought about the many different ways I travel. Even though traveling by plane and car are too great ways to travel I knew that there were many more.
