　　I prefer real travel to a country over virtual travel from the comfort of my home. I do, however, see advantages for both modes of “travel”. Real life travel hold a great excitement at all stages. Planning on paper is fun, but nothing can take the place of really landing in a foreign airport and feeling the blast of air from a new climate on your face. Of course, the traveler reading their way into a country will never run of money partway through a trip. Nor do they have to worry about robbery or terrorism. While a real life traveler experience the excitement of buying food and getting directions, sometimes in a foreign language, the home-based traveler has all the maps, dictionaries and videos to refer to. Naturally, the home traveler can stop anytime. However, the virtual traveler can’t bring home the souvenirs of a trip such as music, food and new friends he discovers on a trip. For me, taking a trip somewhere always beats virtual travel.
