During ancient period people travelled long-distance justify with example
Answers
Not having money or knowledge of native languages at potential destinations was a powerful disincentive to travel.
Most travelers knew somebody or could at least arrange connections along the way. Members of aristocracies had relationships and alliances which spanned regions, so they could find relatives or friends of the family they could use as local intermediaries. Members of some ethnic and religious groups took advantage of or established small communities in distant lands which served the same purpose. For example, one might find enclaves of Jews, Sogdians, and eventually Muslims across Central Asia during various periods who served as nodes in long-distance trading networks. A Sogdian merchant from Samarkand, for example, might not speak a word of Chinese, but he could likely establish connections with the Sogdian enclave in Dunhuang. Churches and religiously motivated organizations could provide hospitality for members of their religion as well. Monasteries provided lodgings for travelers in Christendom and Buddhist regions, and there were Muslim groups which performed similar functions. Some religions provided a linguistic framework as well. Even when the vernacular changed, someone educated in Latin could likely find someone influential to talk to in the Catholic world, while someone who knew Arabic could find someone influential to talk to in the Muslim world.
