FESTIVALISTS

Some people like to go on package holiday and some people prefer hitchhiking. Some people like to spend their time being active, doing sports and others like visiting as much as possible. But there is one more category that we often forget to mention when we talk about ways of spending our summer vacation. Festivalists. Festivalists are people who enjoy and frequently attend festivals. Nowadays there are more and more people who like to spend all their holiday on going from one festival to another. And summer festivals also have become something more than just a backup for beer and food. They are places where you can observe what has been important in culture in the last year and what will be important in the next one. You can buy one ticket and see shows and concerts that you probably wouldn't afford separately. Let's take a look at some of the most popular summer festivals from different genres that you can attend in 2014. Edinburgh Fringe Festival is one of
PACKAGE HOLIDAYS VS. INDEPENDENT TRAVEL       Holidays. It's a special time that everybody needs. But people are different so ways of spending holidays to. We can distinct two general ways. I mean package holidays and holidays on your own- backpacking. Let see it closer. PACKAGE HOLIDAYS   This is very well organised way of spending holidays. Travel agency makes all formalities for you, so you don't have to worry about looking for hotels, restaurants, planes and other things. You just need to choose place, term, some extra attractions and of course you pay for it.

This is why they choose big hotels with swimming pools, restaurants, discos and everything wh

The problems of traffic jams

The problems of traffic jams Monday morning, half past six a.m. I wake up, get ready and leave the house. I must be on time at university. I go fast to the bus stop. Few minutes later scares me a view of columns of vehicles. I know one, today I will be heavily delayed. It is a description of the morning, many of us. It has an impact on the organization of the whole of our day. Traffic jams are the global problem, but authorities and society more and more try to solve this difficulty. Harmful effects of traffic congestions are delays , first of all. Lots of people spend whole hours to arrive at workplace or school. In big cities the biggest difficulty is for people, who lives on the lateral parts of the city and in the suburbs. What is the worst, often it isn't dependent on us. Wasting time is closely linked to the traffic jams. In the morning we must wake up much earlier than we could and afterwork, rather than go home and rest after hard day, we stuck in the car or

Traveliving

   If you leave a place, where you lived most of your life, travel long and thoughtfully, staying in new places as much as you want, yours way of life can be called Traveliving. There is no clear plan, there is no hurry, there is no "To see everything there, there and there," there is only the approximate direction - "If you like here, you can stay, but if you don't - you'll go somewhere else, don't know where."    Traveliving - this is life in the journey.    Now, thanks to the Internet, the range of skills that can help you earn money without being tied to a specific location on the map, has grown considerably.

In the long journey, you also can make friends, is also possible to meet a loved one, is also possible to have a baby. First of al you should just understand that overcomi
THE ART AND HORROR OF HITCHHIKING So you wanted to travel hundreds of kilometers without spending a dime on transport. You figured out that in order to get a free ride sometimes having a thumb is enough. You googled websites such as Hitchwiki and learned some useful tips from more experienced hikers. Next day in the moring you rolled up your sleeves, raised your thumb up, and tried to lure any vehicle that passed by. WHEN YOUR THUMB FAILED Soon one gracious dark blue Volvo female driver stopped at your signal and allowed you to get comfy in the front seat. She gave you a ride until the point she had to go in other direction and you got off. Ok, then you had to wait for another lift. This time it was  a metallic gold VW Golf that stopped. You got in the front seat and thanked the driver. In return, the driver pulled out his kitchen knife and thanked you for getting in. Suddenly, you woke up and thanked God that it was only a dream.   I don't want to bellittle
