The Importance of Traveling for Jobs

If you lived in a small village or hamlet, it might be hard to get certain things. And there's only so much you can get. So people are going for trade reasons. There might be a bigger market in the next town. People are traveling for jobs too. Travel was not an easy thing for peasants. If you couldn't afford a horse, for example, it takes a long time. Outlaws might be in the woods.
