Twelve titles at the click of a button: Tom Wolfe's Lysergic Acid Punch; Travels with Charley, by John Steinbeck; Going through fatigue, by Mark Twain...
What if we traveled just to travel? poetry and jazz and route 66 with Jack Kerouac.
"(...) But then they danced through the streets like crazy tops, and I wavered after them as I have been doing all my life while following the people that interest me, because the only people that interest me are the ones that are crazy, the people who are crazy to live, crazy to talk, crazy to be saved, wanting everything at the same time, the people who never yawn or talk platitudes, but burn, burn, burn like fabulous yellow rockets exploding like spiders between the stars and then you see a blue light burst and everyone goes "Ahhh!" In the path.
No doubt: everyone should go on a road trip at least once in their life (to travel without schedule, be your own DJ, move without luggage limit, stop when you feel like it or rediscover Spain on secondary roads ). Let the adventure begin!
