Road Trips


I like road trips especially when i go with my family and friends. We discover new places new cities and other people and how do they live. But i like it more when i drive by my self and play the music and enjoy the trip. Other thing, i experience other life style and just stick with what i have. Further more, i don't care about the time and just drive until i arrive my distance. The bad thing is when i go back home i had a bad feeling and wish that i didn't do this trip

Here is some pics from my last road trips with my fam and my friends.

If u r intersted in these kinds of trips u can have a look at some of these books :

The Open Road, The Endless Ocean, Eternal Skies. As someone who has had a life long love of travel, and who doesn't plan on staying a homebody anytime soon, this lens combines my love of travel with some of the best travel writing I've read and enjoyed, as well as some of my own travel stories.

Through Painted Deserts, by Donald Miller. This is one I actually found in the "Christian Non-Fiction" section, which can be unfair. There's no question Miller is a Christian, but he's a writer first and foremost, he's not preachy, and his questioning of his own faith, of reasons for existence, of who and what he is or is becoming is reminiscent of the fantastic soul searching that came from the travel writing of the Beat generation. Miller's account of his trip is great, going through the moments of beauty, the necessity of good road trip music, and admitting his moments of embarrassment and fear as freely as any other part of his journey.

A Walk Across America by Peter Jenkins. This is one of the all time modern classics in travel literature, as Peter Jenkins recalls the story of his 1973-1975 walk from New York to New Orleans. For many readers, this remains a rare travel book that grips you and keeps you. Known as a travel writer who will walk anywhere, including Alaska and China, Peter Jenkins says, "I started out searching for myself and my country and found both." That sums up what travel writing should be all about.

Blue Highways: A Journey Into America, by William Least Heat-Moon. This is an auto-biographical travel journey taken by Heat-Mean in 1978. After separating from his wife and losing his job, Heat-Moon decided to take an extended road trip around the United States, sticking to "Blue Highways," a term to refer to small out of the way roads connecting rural America (which were drawn in blue in the old Rand McNally atlases). So Heat-Moon outfits his van, named "Ghost Dancing" and takes off on a 3-month soul-searching tour of the United States. The book chronicles the 13,000 mile journey and the people he meets along the way, as he steers clear of cities and interstates, avoiding fast food and exploring local American culture on a journey that is just as amazing today as when he first took the journey.

Public Transport

Hi blogers as youtubers loooools,

In this post I'm gonna talk about the public transport buses, trains, cars...whatever.I like the transport system here in the UK it is easy and u can go every where, just push the stop button. The thing is, there is no freedom for someone like me, i like to have my own car whatever it costs me.I do not want to Wait for a bus or walk to the bus stop. some times the bus doesn't show up and because of that I'm late for a class or something important, but that happen only in the morning.

Other thing i like is the trains, i can find a train to any where here in the UK but i hate it when there are some train changes and the other thing when a train in terminate or they just cancel the trip. Last Holiday when i was going to travel to Saudi and i took the train to London. The train broke just like that and stopped in the middle between Nottingham and London and i have a flight just after 2 Horus. u may say why u didn't go early ?? i say the Trina was stopping every 15 mins for 20 mins each ... then when the train has terminated they said we are sorry there is a bus u can take to King's cross London and it will take 2 hours .. Oh god the I'm gonna miss the flight.. after that i found a taxi to London and he took £70 .

Nothing is complete and in the end it's a good way to travel and cheap as well.
