One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

on my way back home I steped down in LAX with no money (Not even $0.25 to make a phone call) and decided to travel coast to coast. I did California, Arizona, New Mexico, Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama and Florida. I did this in a month! It is the most amazing traveling experience I have done in my life
