THE PLEASURE OF TRAVELLING

Travel is, first and foremost, a necessity.

And this necessity to find out about the world was sparked off when people became aware of their function in a world full of other people, both near and far,  who had  different  customs.

Travel  became  an  essential tool  for acquiring  knowledge  and  personal enrichment  and  it  has  been  the  greatest  driving force behind progress.

Then   there   came   pleasure, when   the   decision   to travel  was  the  result  of  material  and  moral  freedom and  a  rational  choice  combined  with  excitement, which  almost  always conditions  the  nature  of  travel.

It  is  the  pleasure  of coming  info  contact  with something new, beautiful, interesting, imaginable, but also unimaginable.

It is the pleasure of discovering new environments, a natural world that is unfamiliar and always varied, the places that a  people have constructed over the centuries to meet their own private and public needs.

But it is also the pleasure  of  meeting   other  people, interfacing   with them, finding out about them. understanding their a  customs and activities to build together a better life and better tools for life and living.
