Traveling has never been easier and more affordable, thanks to so many factors that have contributed to the popularity of this activity. Whether you prefer to fly, take a boat, or drive, there is always something to discover. And speaking of driving, there is something to be said about taking to the road and enjoying the freedom that it offers.

Going on a road trip – especially an extended one – is much better if you had the comforts of home. That’s where caravans and RVs come into the picture.

Goop City by Gwyneth Paltrow — Goop City

Truth be told, I couldn’t care less about Gwyneth Paltrow. Okay, she made for an awesome Pepper Potts in the Iron Man movies. I especially love how she delivered that line about occasionally taking the trash out. But for the rest, I can’t really be bothered.
