Week 1 Post 1: My Template

The reason I chose this theme was because road trips have always played an important part in my life. Traveling to different countries can be pretty expensive for most college students but taking road trips with friends is quite fun and inexpensive. In the past year, I've gone to San Francisco and Washington state with my friends. Although it might not seem like much, those road trips were something I will never forget. Staying in different places you've never been to can give you a sense of excitement.

The background picture of my blog includes a picture of a road. To me, this symbolizes not knowing what's ahead in life and having to get out of your comfort zone to experience something new. This is how I feel about road trips and being on the road in places I've never been to. That's why they're so important to me because they give me the opportunity to explore a new city or country. I suggest more people take road trips because they are able to clear your mind from anything you might be struggling with. 

I plan on being able to travel to many more states and countries in the near future. I haven't had the time as I've been working a lot more lately but I'm eager to finally be back the road. I enjoy the hikes, food, and other activities new places have to offer. It's all about just getting of your comfort zone and exploring someplace new.

  1. Your theme is very calming. I too love to go on road trips. Growing up in a military family, I have traveled most of my life.

  2. Hi Rodrigo,

    I really enjoyed the reason you chose your theme. I love traveling to different states and getting to know somewhere thats completely foreign to me. Most people think that state travels are boring but I think the US has so many hidden gems, especially in states that no one would really expect to be "cool".

    Talk soon

  3. Hey Rodrigo,

    I thought you did a great job in describing your connection to the theme you selected. I haven't had the opportunity to travel to a lot of countries, but I've been fortunate of having taken many road trips throughout my life. Reading your blog was nostalgic and very relatable to someone who has experienced the adventure one can get when they embark on the roadtrip. I love exploring towns and finding all the spots that isn't your typical tourist selection and I think taking road trips gives you the freedom to explore all over to find all those hidden hole-in-the-wall places. Hope you keep that love for travel and continue to go on new adventures
