Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Earth

Saturday, April 11th, 2009

Hitchhiking is a way of traveling when you are short of money or just want to experience an adventure you will never get when traveling with comfort. Both these causes lead to one result – you come on the road and try to catch a car.

Some hitchhikers know the exact point where they want to turn out to be, but some never know where and when their trip will finish. Some piece of advice before you begin your trip.

1) If you know your destination point, you’d better to think over your route not to find yourself far away from the desired city.

2) Be extra careful, because the hitchhiking is always a risk. Take you mobile and try to be in touch with your friends or relatives (if connection allows, of course).

3) Be careful with your money – don’t store all them in one place.

4) Don’t take too much luggage – you’ll be tired very soon.

5) Take all you may need – if your route passes far from the cities you may have no chance to by all the necessary things.

6) When you travel alone the risk increases twice – so, may be it’s better to have a fellow traveler. There are a lot clubs and communities of hitchhikers (for example, in Internet) where you not only can find a fellow traveler but also receive a useful advise.

What attracts people in hitchhiking is the feeling of freedom and the opportunity to have the real adventure. It’s a challenge in some way and some people like to accept it. Some hitchhikers like to have a chance to meet new people and to make friends.

The Advantages of Missionary Travel

Wednesday, April 8th, 2009

Missionary travel is one of the best ways to travel and experience other people and cultures for anyone who wishes to stretch their legs and be of service to others at the same time.

The advantages to missionary travel are many and one of the great things that it offers is that you are guaranteed to always have something purposeful to bide your time with while you are traveling. You can rest assured that your church will have all the hot spots of injustice ready to go for you when you arrive so there will be no need to waste any time scouting them out on your own. Drug addiction, prostitution, poverty, gang violence, and Pagan practices run rampant in many foreign countries so you can rest assured that there will be no shortage of souls to save.

If your church offers missionary travel, than there will also be food and housing available for you when you arrive at your destination. Making new friends that share your beliefs is one of the other benefits of missionary travel.

Missionary travel is a great personal test for yourself that you can take that will prove invaluable in your later years and while others may choose to stay behind in your home town to enjoy their creature comforts you will be off building memories and character. If you are going to move up in standing in your church and plan on one day being a respected elder then missionary travel is one notch in your belt that will always put you in a command position.

Completing a mission for your church is a right of passage that will always set you apart from the crowd and it means that you have paid your dues and that your mettle has been tested.
