I) The travel and the reason some people are taking a trip II) The help traveling may have on the coming of age of someone I) Traveling and the reason people take the road People travel by a lot of different way, for a lot of different cause.

The more common way to travel is by car, we see a lot of people moving or going on a trip with their car accompanied by their friends or family, maybe because it’s the more efficient way and it may be a good vibe to be with people you want in your life. But an other way is by hitchhiking, like in the Jack Kerouac extract from his book, “On the road”.
