1) Last June she drove with her older brother from their house in Oregon to her brother's new apartment in North Carolina.

2) She realized only afterwards that she should have listened to her mum's advice.
3) The trip really changed my life since it showed me that there is a big world outside. In addition, it offered her the chance to know herself and the person she was travelling with better.
4) The first reason why she decided to take the trip was to keep her brother good company and to get to know him better. Another reason was to have a holiday outside her home town.
5) As she didn't know how to read a map, they went the wrong way several times. They spent their time listening to music, eating sandwiches and chatting about the school.
6)They mainly drove through boring highway and they occasionally stopped for gas (to fill up) at an interesting place and got put to explore.
7) They spent their first night in a motel whereas on their second night they stayed in a small hotel in Nebraska.
8) They spent their final night in Nashville, where a big vountry music festival was taking place. When they arrived in North Carolina, they didn't have a lot of money left.

9) The T-shirt cost me a fortune.
I went on a bus sightseeing tour in Berlin.

#6. a typo, "got put to explore. " = got out

#8. typo = "a big vountry music" = a big country...
