Yeah, the buses can be really uncomfortable. Those seats on the Greyhound bus are hard as a rock. The trains are also my favorite mode of transportation. I met a lot of great people riding the train who I were able to learn a lot from. I’m going to start taking the train more often, if it’s an option.
i love traveling. i prefer planes by a longshot because i am super, super impatient when it comes to travel and i can't sit for longer than maybe 3 or 4 hours before i start getting antsy. i haven't gone much further west than minnesota or any further south than myrtle beach so i don't know how i'd fare on a trip to, say, las vegas? or seattle? i'd have to find out. but i love going to new places.
If I had the funds I’d be traveling constantly. There’s nothing that makes me happier than getting out and going somewhere. I hate the feeling of being stuck in one place for more than several months. It makes me feel trapped. By traveling I can shake that and just enjoy being in the moment.
