Travel

Travel is the change in location of people on a trip through the means of transport from one location to another. Travel may be performed for recreation (as part of tourism or to visit friends and family), as part of business or for commuting. Travel may occur by walking or other human-powered mode, or through mechanical vehicles, either as private or public transport.

The word originates from the Middle English word "travailen" ("to toil"), which comes from the French word "travailler" ("travail"). A person who travels is called a traveler (US) or traveller (UK).
