I prefer to travel by car. I think It's more reliable than a plain. I travel by plain if I doesn't have an other opportunity to move. Last time I flew by plane in 2018.

Hi everyone! I have hardly ever traveled by train, but generally I have been travelling by airplane or bus. But, I prefer airplane, because is more faster than bus.

To be honest, for the moment, it isn't yet necessary for me to travel by train or plane.
