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.

Crying on the Street

Hi again,

When we arrived here , everything was different, the life style and how everything is running. I thought i will struggle with this different life in the UK but it was simple, just do it in order and stay organised and keep everything in mind and work harder.





First i decided to discover Nottingham and search for a house, it was not hard but not easy. I went to the University in the first day, and it was a good start knowing new people and see how it is going to be in the course. One thing i hate here is walking,
i hate walking but thank you god there are buses but some times when i wake up late in the morning and go to the bus stop and wait in that cold weather i almost kill my self loooools.






The first month was good and everything is going in the right way, but i started to miss my family and feel lonely. Once i went to have a cigarette outside the house late at night and thinking about my mother and father, i stayed outside there for two hours of depression just crying and thinking about them, i did not feel my self and it was very cold, but there were good feelings after all that crying and sadness. I came here just to make them proud of me and that is the only thing that gives me the power to go ahead and succeed.

No Gains without Pains

When i had the chance to study in the UK i was like a child, asking everyone who had an experience there, searching in the webs to find out what should i do and where i can go . I found good info but it was not enough for me.


I was staying all the night awake just thinking about this new country. I had some problems to get everything completed and once i was full of difficulties and i had a car accident in front of the British Consulate, i went home and told my mother i gave up I'm not going . She was encouraging me and said ''No Gains without Pains'' then she left me alone. I was thinking this hard i can not do this but when she said that it was like waking me up from a nightmare.

After all that everything was ready and my flight is in the next day. I was sad because of leaving my family and my country. My sister did a party for me but i was sitting with them and show them that I'm happy. When i was ready to go to the airport, it was a hard moments. I was hardly holding my tears and trying to save them from falling in front of my mother.


To Be Continued

First Time

Hi everyone, This is me Mohammed and welcome to my blog.
To be honest, this is my first time writing about me and my life so forgive me if there are
any mistakes or something like that.

First i want to talk about my self , i was born in Alnamas which is located in the south of Saudi. I lived there for 8 years then me and my family moved to Jeddah. I love music, movies, food, cars and any thing related to it, traveling, met new people and make different friendships and many things that i can enjoy.
I'm a student in KAU but now i study in The UK in the Universty of Nottingham. I have learned alot here - in the UK - and my life became different and my personality as well.



I miss my family especially Mom and my little sister Mariam, she is two years old now, when i first traveld to the UK she was trying to talk but not clearly and now she is speaking alot but in a children's language. A month ago, my mouther phoned me and said there is someone wants to talk with you, she was Mariam saying my name ''hammad .. hammad .. we went to the sea and there were alot of water'', she was repeating that sentence and i was speechless and could not say a ward. I was almost crying and want to respond to her but i could not, I was happy and sad in the same time. I miss her and miss all of my family and friends and Jeddah.
