Welcome

So you are probably wondering, "What the hell does Healthy Road-tripping mean?" This is still something I am pondering myself. But I know it can AND will be done, without spending an hour every morning making all your meals for the day. I know I'm too lazy for that, so chances are you are too lazy as well.

So this idea started formulating when I joined Americorps NCCC last year, which you can read all about on my other blog (Aine's Adventures). This experience I wouldn't take back for anything in the world, I got to live in Los Angeles, Utah and my favorite place: New Orleans. BUT in order to get to New Orleans we were faced with a long and tedious road trip of five days in a 15-passenger van. Oh how I miss Goldie Locks, our beautiful and courageous van. So by the time this loooong road trip was over I never wanted to see another french fry in my life. Especially as a vegetarian there was NOWHERE to eat, as we would pass yet another Taco Bell and McDonalds and Wendy's and maybe if you were lucky there was a Subway.

From these torturous days of eating absolute crap I decided that there really needs to be a website where you can look up the route you are taking and you can find healthy alternatives right off the major highways. How will I make this happen? I have some ideas, but I'm really not sure yet. Until then I will share some info on healthy chains, which can actually exist, and other awesome produce deals in the Boston/Northeast area. So by the end of the summer I promise I will make this website happen to the best of my abilities! I have been the co-webmaster for Mydorchester.org for eight months now so we'll see what I can create. Wish me luck!
