Very few people traveled long distances. Most villages were one or two days travel from a market town, and occasional trips to sell surplus agricultural goods and to buy items not available in their home village would have been made.

What are three values associated with the middle class?
Middle class people are often associated with working, white collar, blue collar, or some education.
What not good about living at the medieval village?
Everything was not good. The Middle Ages was a stinky, dirty, dangerous place. The village would have had animals running around, muddy streets mixed with garage and feces of animals and human. The food was over cooked mushy and rotten. Often it had maggots or other things on or in it. The water was bad and if it came from a river it could have a dead horse or body floating in it. People didn't take baths and there were no toilets. It could be dangerous at night because there were no lights.
What is the modern myth about bathing in the middle ages?
There is a widespread belief that people did not bathe in the Middle Ages. This myth arises because bathing went out of practice during the Renaissance, when people worried that it was unhealthy and rich people could afford perfume. Since we have a tendency to regard the Renaissance as a period of improvement, we often ascribe anything about it that was unpleasant to the Middle Ages. During most of the Middle Ages, however, people regarded cleanliness as next to godliness, and kept themselves very clean. There is a link below.
