Loved this story....

So, I thought, why not a drive accross Qatar. We'll hire a Karwa and drive from one end to the other. I am looking for "journey buddies" and also suggestions for interesting places to visit on the way..

Two New Yorkers gave a taxi driver the $5,000 (£3000) fare of a lifetime to drive them across the United States to California.

John Belitsky, 31, an investment banker, and English professor Dan Wuebben, 32, said they wanted to something "magical". They hired cab driver Mohammed Alam at New York's LaGuardia Airport for the 3,000-mile road trip, which took six days.
