English travailen, travelen (which means to torment, labor, strive, journey) and
earlier from Old French travailler (which means to work strenuously, toil).

travails, which mean struggle.Today, travel may or may not be much easier

tourist and being a true world traveler.

incident-free trip, however, travelers can be subject to difficulties, crime and
violence. Some safety considerations include being aware of one's surroundings,
avoiding being the target of a crime, leaving copies of one's passport
information with trusted people,obtaining medical insurance valid in the country

foreign country. Many countries do not recognize drivers' licenses from other

foreign countries, and it's often a requirement to obtain temporary auto
insurance valid in the country being visited. It is also advisable to become
oriented with the driving rules and regulations of destination countries.
