ghost riders travels with american nomads

Haha everybody Is talking about Bill XDD about the choice of being in the road full time is something weird to me, I mean, maybe they are happy when they are moving but when it comes time to work in order to stay alive they are not happy because like the mountain guy said 'I make enough money in order to not work' similarly to what the Wall Street guy did. On the strength of this film I've just ordered his book, Ghost Riders, and am thoroughly looking forward to getting stuck into it. And if you do watch it, also like me, you'll look high and low for other documentaries written/presented by Richard Grant one the credits roll. I couldn't recommend it high enough to those who, like me, view the free-living travelling life through rose-tinted spectacles. It's 90 minutes of freedom – an escape for the mind.Īll this along with the beautiful scenery and kind of quirky slide-guitar soundtrack, it just culminates in one really beautiful, heart-warming (in places) piece of film-making. Some stories aren't as happy as others, but all are handled with interest and tenderness. It's the (broad spectrum of) people he meets too – They've decided to de-shackle themselves from the usual drudgery of every-day, 'regular' life – the bills, mortgage, 9–5 job etc. I love the meandering journey he takes us on, both geographically and in his style of presentation. It think the presenter/writer, Richard Grant, has a lot to do with it. There's something incredibly special about it, though I can't put my finger on what that is. He ended his email by saying, 'At any rate, that's my story.Your turn.' Kind of reminded me of young Comfrey in this film-intelligent, personable, likeable. I look forward to hearing from him again.

He has already written to me, and I can see that he will one day write that book, as his wrote entertainingly, articulately.

Or maybe it's because he is a nomad, one who, by his own report, has been on the road for at least a couple of years, his 90-pound pack on his back, his face reddened by exposure to the weather. At least, that's who I attribute such an attitude to. He must have had a good mother to make him as comfortable as he seemed. I was impressed by him, especially by his openness and willingness to engage in conversation with what, to him, was an elderly woman. We started talking, exchanged a couple of tales of our own personal adventures and decided to become penpals via email.

He came into the library where I was a patron, asked the desk to use the computer and managed to get a guest card so he could do that. I watched this documentary because today I chanced upon a young man who is a genuine modern American nomad.
