I feel sometimes if your mode of journey isnt comfortable it can ruin your travelling experience and you wont enjoy traveling anymore :P

It really depends. But travelling ought to be fun than a hassle.So before travelling you must prepare everything. If you don't want to be stress then you must save for it so that it'll be nice, easy and comfortable. One which will not require you to wait, push by people, or ruin your mood.

Oh that's pretty sad, I can relate to your post because I often experience this kind of traveling mode too. I worked right now in the city which is 8 hours from my home town, so every time I take a vacation the traveling procedure is really punishing as I have to catch up with the bus with so many people joggling on the terminal, sometimes I think not to return home but every Christmas i really have to go home to spend holidays with my family.
But in general traveling is fun and thrilling, I love to travel to many places provided the transportation is very convenient.

Well, I think it depends on how you take things. It can be hectic and stressful but it can also be fun. There are times when I travel and the people I am with isn't fun to be with so with this, I don't get as much fun as I want. But there was a time when I travelled overseas alone and and I have to take the bus and even walk, but I did enjoyed a lot because I set aside the negative stuff and just enjoyed the scenery. From that, I learned that in travelling, to really have some fun, I have to like be more focused on the "fun" stuff to totally enjoy. :-)

I like to travel, but I'd prefer traveling by plane. I don't want to tire myself in the travel itself otherwise I will no longer the moment when I reach my destination. A 2-3 hour travel my bus or train is okay though. Anything longer than that is not my ideal travel experience.

Hi,
I should say travelling is fun and tiring.
Why do I say so? Because, when the day for travelling is coming,of
course, I still don't feel the tiring part,but when
come to the day when I reached home and have to unpack
the things,then the tiring part comes in.
However, everytime when I travel back to my hometown to visit
my parents and siblings, I also feel extremely happy because
I am going to meet my family members after waiting for so long.
I can eat nice food and enjoy my life there.
My life seem so wonderful at my hometown.
I guess your last trip back to visit your parents is tiring because of the seat
you are having in the bus. Last seat is always feel uncomfortable.
It same goes with taking plane.I always avoid the last row seats,so narrow
and packed and feel uncomfotable.

Hi,I have some similar feel about travle,Unlucky things happan all the time.
But i think tourism is not only just recreation,but also a kind of learning.It can be said that the process of tourism is the leadning process,training process,molding process.We can have an access to a variety of things,mine a variety of knowledge.The meaning of travel is that it allows you to feel that the road of life,people will be more profound in the way of contact nature,enjoy life more happy,more in-depth about their own.

Sometimes my mode of transport is not so comfortable so I arrive with many aches and pains. A few hours later I am relaxing doing lots of enjoyable exploring in my destination. Traveling by plane on a long haul journey isn't at all comfortable. There is a lack of space around the seat and getting much sleep is challenging. One time I got a cheap flight to Italy. To get on it I had to spend the night sleeping on the airport floor and then check in during the early hours of the morning. When I arrived I caught a bus all the way down to Croatia. That night I got on an overnight bus trip all the way down to Dubrovnik. There were many twists and turns but I arrived with the desire to have a fantastic time with very much fun.

traveling is fun only when you have done reservations in advance and also it depends on the company you travel with...sometimes even your good journey is turned to bad one if the people sitting with you are very boring and troubling you unnecessarily....it also depends on the purpose of traveling..if u are under pressure ..its bit difficult...and if it is for vacation...then surely it is a pleasure

It's usually hectic wherever I go, especially if I go with my friends or family. there are so many arrangements to do, booking hotel,what need to be brought, plane tickets etc. That's why sometimes I prefer to travel alone than travel in a group. Difficult to decided what's the destination and gather them all.

I think traveling is fun.. but sometimes it is hectic when we don't find any places for staying.. because sometimes hotels are full of guests.. so that time i feel some hectic situations.. but at all i think traveling give me fun.. and i enjoyed my traveling whenever i go..

I enjoy traveling, I love to travel a lot! If I am only rich and I can afford to travel 6 countries a year why not?! But if its by bus, the farthest that I can manage is 8 hours with breaks of course so that I can stretch and pee after every 2-3 hours.
