Road Trip !!

Dear Reader, 

A car, packed bags, snacks and a playlist can only mean one thing…ROAD TRIP ! My friends and I decided to hit the road last weekend and leave Miami behind us to go to Tallahassee. Now this was a major step for us, being our first trip without parents or school. Giving us a taste of freedom and of the road. 

Last Friday morning we jammed packed the car and set off towards Gainsville to pick up a friend along the way. With high sugar snacks and singing songs on the top of our lungs we survived the first 5 hour drive. We had lunch in Gainsville before heading back on the road, and while eating I saw the most appropriate sign inside the restaurant that I could not resist from taking a picture of.

What are the odds to find this sign during a road trip ?
Getting back on the road from Gainsville to Tallahassee was a creepy drive, with no stops and a suspicious fog covering the forest surrounding us. But after a 2 and a half hour drive we finally arrived to destination, Florida State University. Where we met up with our friend and went up to her dorm and meet her dorm mates. For the rest of the weekend I got to meet so many nice and awesome people, got to go to university parties and experienced the dorm life (aka a huge sleepover.) 


Traveling has always been the best way to learn about the world and other cultures. But never have I known until now that road tripping is the best way to learn about yourself. There is just something magical to pack the bare necessities and hit the road. Because even if you do come back to where you started, you are never the same as when you began. Comment down below where you will like to road trip to as well as check out my little video of our drive up to Tallahassee…and I will talk to you next time.

Bookishly Yours,
