Short answer: fasting and donating are central; celebrating happens at the end; travel is not a Ramadan practice (it can exempt you from fasting).

Details:
- Fast — Yes. Muslims fast from dawn to sunset each day of Ramadan (no food, drink, smoking, or sexual relations). The fast is called sawm.
- Donate — Yes. Ramadan is a time of increased charity (sadaqah) and many pay zakat (obligatory alms) or give extra to help the poor.
- Celebrate — Sort of. The month is mainly for worship and self-discipline, but there are communal iftars and special nightly prayers (taraweeh). Ramadan ends with a major celebration, Eid al-Fitr.
- Travel — No as a practice. Traveling is not something Muslims do because of Ramadan; rather, someone who must travel may be permitted to postpone their fasts.
