Project Time With Jacky!

For this post and future posts, I will be sharing my research about the topic of Traveling. I am currently doing a major project that explores in depth this subject and how it relates for many aspects in our lives!

When you think of traveling what is the the first thing that comes to mind? A vacation trip to the tropics? An adventure through the amazonian jungle? A cruise to the Bahamas? A flight to France? These are all great examples of traveling, but it can be much more simple than that. In the dictionary travel is defined as "To go from one place to another, as on a trip; journey". This place could be from your house to your friends house. When you are traveling now a days, there are multiple ways to do it. You could be fancy and fly a jet plane to your friends house, or drive a car, or ride a bike. If that doesn't float your boat, you can do it old-school and just walk there. Walking would be in the very beginnings of travel, it is the simplest way for us humans to do so. However as time went on we advanced to find easier ways to travel. It is kinda a hassle to walk 50 miles don't you think? Instead of walking on feet that distance, we could perhaps ride a animal to speed and process and make it less of a hassle. Humans started to use animals like horses for traveling purposes, then it advances more into machines and boats. We would use boats and ships to travel over great distances over seas, but you couldn't travel much on land with a boat. With an automobile you could travel all over your continent, but you can't drive on the ocean. Now we can travel through the skies with our airplanes, this certainly would have helped during the age of exploration. During Age of Exploration many countries had the desire to travel this very reason. God, Glory and Gold. People wanted to spread the word of god, conquer news lands to find glory, and also search for the riches of the world, becoming wealthy. Traveling also has to do with some cultures, such as Native Americans. Their tribes were always moving around the country, and these people are known as nomads. It also varies with cultures, like in Egypt and desert areas, they use camels to travel, while in America they would use horses.

This is some of the research I conducted today to gather information for my project.
