Well, in that case then I don't think it would be a good idea to park on the side of the road because it will definitely create a problem for other cars. I suppose you might be able to get away with it if it's a lonely road that isn't too busy.

I suppose it does depend on how wide the road is. If it isn't too narrow and can allow for safe parking on the side, then I don't see why there should be a problem especially if traffic coming from both directions has a clear view of your car from a distance. Sometimes it's just not possible to find...

I always have fun planning meals for such road trips. There are a lot of meals that you can have cold so you can still be able to enjoy a healthy meal on the road. Of course if you know where you're going and you're sure there are places that serve affordable and healthy hot meals, then that might b...

I don't think that going on camping trips alone is advisable. It's always a good idea to have someone else there just in case something happens and one of you can get help.

I am all for adventure, but for me safety will always come first. I love having new experiences and going to places that are 'off the beaten path' so to speak, but if there is any risk of danger like the rebels in the mountains I definitely would not go. Other than that, the normal risks associated ...

I know what you mean. That's how life tends to unfold for most people. As soon as they have a family to think of and to take care of, they start to change the way that they do things. No more spontaneity and no more living on the edge because now they have a lot of responsibility in the form of thei...

It has been my past experience that the unplanned trips are usually some of the best ones because of that spontaneity factor. It's just so much more fun to experience something on the spur of the moment than something that you have planned every detail of. Of course some people prefer the opposite a...
