Traveling by road is the usual method. Traveling by road is faster than traveling by water when talking about shorter distances. Traveling by water is a little slower, but is faster than traveling by road when traveling long distances. It could take you a couple days to go to another country by boat and a week when on road. Both travel by water and road are used by people to transport goods. Sometimes they need to bring supplies over-seas and sometimes they just need to transport them to the next town over.
