Travel

Travel is the transport of people on a trip/journey or the process or time involved in a person or object moving from one location to another. Reasons for travel include:

• Visiting friends and family
  
• Trade
  
• Commuting–going to various routine activities, such as work or meetings.
  
• Migration—travel to begin life somewhere else; nomadic people do this
  
• Pilgrimages—travel for religious reasons
  

Research— travel for the gathering of information.
The word originates from the Middle English word travailen (to toil), which comes from the French word travailler (travail).
