A Rant and a Road Trip

A Rant and a Road Trip chronicles an alternative holiday, you might say-a heart-on-the-sleeve road trip. It’s not so much about where Brendan O’Leary went, but what he found when he got there and the people he met along the way. This journal covers five weeks spent on the road, drifting from town to town and motel to motel, living out of a suitcase and, for the most part, never knowing where the next stop will be. But believe it when O’Leary tells you that it can be a very liberating experience, seeing “another town, another diner, another motel,” the story continuing as he travels to new places. Nothing can beat the feeling that comes from unexpected discoveries made while traveling. As you travel through the pages of this journal, you’ll see what O’Leary sees and feel what he feels. From New Jersey to Texas to California, O’Leary shares his thoughts about the places he visits and the people he meets. Written as very personal journal entries, O’Leary examines the essence of America through his experiences and shares the ups and downs of living life on the road.
