Hi everyone and welcome to the English Danny  Channel. This video is part of our new phrasal  

verbs series and today's topic is travel. If you  haven't already be sure to subscribe and be sure  

to like this video if you find it useful.  Okay, let's get started. Alright, so  

like I said before, the topic of today's  video is travel. We have some very useful  

phrasal verbs for you that you can use when  you talk about travel. When you want to travel,  

you'll know what certain things are called.  They're just very useful phrases for you to know.  

Alright, so the first phrasal verb that  we have for you today is set off, or set  

out. Okay, these two phrasal verbs they actually  mean the same thing. And the definition is  

to start a journey or an adventure. So, you  can use this whenever you start traveling.  

You set off or you set out. So for example, I  set off on Wednesday and will arrive on Friday.

Our next phrasal verb is: look around.

Alright, look around means to visit  a place and look at the things in it.  

Okay, so you can use this word for many different  places. You can use it for a big place like a  

city. I'm going to look around the city means  that you're going to just explore. Look at,  

look at all the different things in the city.  But you can also use this word for small places  

like a school or a room even.  You can look around the room.  

So let's use it in a sentence, for example:  I had a few days to look around the city.

Alright, our next word is to look  something up, or it's called look up.  

Now, lookup actually has a few  different meanings. It can mean  

different things, but in this in this  way-this context, look something up means  

to try to find a piece of information by  looking in a book or on a computer. You can even  

use a smartphone to look something up.  Okay, so let's look at the example:

I was lost, so I looked up the directions.  

So, you can see here that this is very useful  for you when you are traveling because you need  

to look up many things. You need to find a  lot of information when you are traveling.  

Alright, our next word is get away. Get away means  to go somewhere to have a holiday or vacation.  

If you are American often because you need to  rest. You will use this phrase if you feel tired  

or stressed. Okay, you can say that: I need to get  away. It means you need to go somewhere to have  

rest. To have a vacation. Okay so for example:  I feel that I need to get away for a few weeks.  

Maybe this is because you feel  stressed from work or you just  

really haven't traveled in a long time and  you just want to relax. Then you can get away.

Alright, and our final word is to take off  something. Now take off again, take off can  

mean many different things, but this is about  time. Usually, the definition is to use a period  

of time for a purpose that is different from what  you usually do. Okay usually if you are working  

then if you take off a few days, then you're doing  something different besides working. For example,  

I decided to take off next weekend for a vacation.  So, usually this person works during the weekend,  

but they decided to take off next weekend for a  vacation. So, they will not work. Alright everyone
