  • On the Road: Driving Across the U.S., Part 5

    It overwhelms me to say that I have less than two weeks left of this trip. It’s overwhelming because a) I can’t believe that I actually drove across the country and b) I don’t know what I’m going to do after this road trip. Even still, as I mentioned in the other posts, driving from…

  • Seamlessly Florida Keys

    The Florida Keys is the quirkiest place I have ever been to in my life – it is just so random.

    With a little over a month left of the road trip, I have managed to drive through the East Coast without any major problems…knock on wood. It has been an interesting experience to say the least. I have learned many things about driving, travelling and life in general while on the road, but, what I…

  • King Neptune Reigns Over Virginia Beach

    I met King Neptune in Virginia Beach – the fourth stop on my U.S. road trip. I couldn’t have missed him if I wanted to: located on the boardwalk at 31st Street and Atlantic Avenue, the statue of the sea god towers at 34-feet and presides over the ocean. With his gaze cast upon the…
