My fascination with traveling all began two years ago. I was at a Barnes and Noble and came across Kerouac’s legendary novel, “On the Road.” I figured enough people have recommended it; I might as well see what all the hype is about. Sure enough, they were right—the book is awesome! The plot is based on Kerouac’s pickup-and-go attitude and everything he encounters while exploring all that America has to offer. I was fascinated and I wanted more. Next, I got my hands on a copy of “The Electric Cool-Aid Acid Test,” which is of the same flavor. These stories fascinate me, so I did what every other recent college grad does—traveled. While most people want to backpack through Europe, bouncing between hostels and drinking absinthe, I instead decided to take a deeper look at America the beautiful.
Hitch hiking is something of the past. With all the crazies and nut jobs out there today, you would have to be out of your mind to catch a ride with a complete stranger. Plus, I just got a new truck. And what better way to break in my new ride than by taking a nice long road trip. I didn’t want to plan my trip too much. You need to leave room for adventure and spontaneity.
