Hello! My name is Max. My favourite way of travelling is by car. I think this is one of the most comfortable means of travelling. You can enjoy the view, looking through the window. Furthermore, this way of travelling is quite fast. You can travel to different cities and towns in your native country and even abroad. In summer I like travelling on foot. This way of travelling is called hiking. I take a tent, backpacks, food and start walking. This kind of travelling is slow, but you spend a lot of time outside and you do not have to think about tickets.
