Can you really change your life ? Or is it more about letting life change you?
Six months ago I posted a story about how something I couldn't imagine before became a part of my everyday life - Taking money for sex. Since then I've quit...

As odd as it may seem, some of the best road trips have been just me, myself and I.
Not that there is anything wrong with having a good road trip buddy and those trips can be great in their own way. But I am, as many people have called...

It has an allure and charm all its own, rugged and desolate to the urban and busy, the panoramic views to the towering skyscrapers, the open road calls to me.
To be on my journey, with no hard and fast goal or destination yet is as...

I've had my heart broken plenty of times. When I was younger, I swore not for that to happen to me, but it did. I made some mistakes, and I learned from them as well. Little did I know that here was a man who was coming for me...

I don't care to drive, but I love to be the passenger on a road trip. I love to observe everything- nature, the changing scenery, people, cities, countrysides... everything! Someday I hope to own an RV and just travel until I find the...

I love driving. It's a huge stressbuster for me, a huge release of pressure and anxiety... it's just me and the road.
There's not a better feeling for me than having my shades on, the sunroof and windows down, and my iPod cranking...

When I was a litle girl, my mom always liked to go for drives. My little legs hated this. I wanted to run, to play...to be unrestricted, out of the little box the backseat made for me. As I got older, I read in the car, passing these...

Summer is the right time to jump in the campervan and lose myself in the endless roads of North America. Just get up and drive and see what the world has in store for the day. Perhaps end the day with a cold beer in some dusty...

There's something special about hitting the back roads and by-ways. Seeing the countryside reveal its beauty as you drive on. I love to explore along some quiet country lane or hitting the dirt roads and tracks just to see where...

I love just getting out and taking back roads. I've had vacations at cabins and resorts, and they're restful. But I love seeing new places and meeting new people. It would be fun to travel to other parts of the world, but I can't...

I love the open road
Where changing and moving parts
Coalesce into one unique experience
When ten thousand things become two
Yin and yang, driver and car
Thought and feeling flow into action and direction...

Before I had kids and had a lot more freedom I would fill up the tank and just drive. Almost never on main roads, but back roads, old state highways and what not. I found some really amazing places, met incredible people and wonderful...

When you travel down it, not only do you experience a physical journey, you also go on a journey inside yourself... and I think that sums up all those painful essays we penned on the topic.

My brain runs hot and random. I even have a hard time spelling because the letters of the words in my mind look like alphabet soup (random, tilted). Varied thoughts are constantly flashing through my head and if I don't grab it when it...

After I explore of all of Europe (by train, not road) I plan on taking a cross-country America trip. With lots of notebooks to get lots of peoples' stories. I'll need wonderful good music for the road.
