Sometimes, life’s paths aren’t just about reaching destinations — they become a journey that travels through the heart.
My name is Jamshaid Jagwal, and what you see on this website isn’t just information — it’s my love, passion, and lived experience.
About Me – Jamshaid Jagwal & My Journey With New Jersey Rest Areas
The first time I looked at a map of the United States, some states instantly captured my heart. Among them was New Jersey — a place that, even from a distance, felt close to my soul. As I explored its streets through Google Maps, every turn and corner started to feel familiar, like I was reconnecting with something lost or waiting.
I’m a traveler, not by foot, but through the lens of maps and imagination. I’ve wandered snow-capped mountains, empty deserts, and bustling cities — all through Google Street View. It’s how I connect with the world.
But one place I return to again and again is New Jersey Rest Areas.

New Jersey Rest Areas – A Mission From the Heart
I know every rest stop in New Jersey like the back of my hand. Whether it’s a service plaza, scenic overlook, or a simple wayside rest area, I’ve explored each one virtually. Every day, I stop for a few minutes at one of these NJ highway rest areas, take a break, and move on — not physically, but with the same feeling as if I’m really there.
And every time I think: what if someone else is tired, in need of a break? What if I could help them?
That’s the reason this website exists.
Why I Built This Website
Today, travelers often struggle to find the nearest, safest, and cleanest rest areas while on the road. Which exit? Is it open? What facilities does it have? These questions often lead to missed stops and unnecessary stress.
I thought — why not build a site that doesn’t just show directions, but gives peace of mind too?
This site offers complete information about New Jersey Rest Areas, covering every direction — North, South, East, and West — whether you’re traveling on the New Jersey Turnpike, the Garden State Parkway, or any major interstate like I-78, I-80, I-295 or I-287.
You’ll know where to stop, what’s available, and what to expect.
My Promise – Your Comfort Is My Joy
If you ever stop at a rest area listed on my site, I ask for one small thing…
Send me a photo from that rest stop.
I’ll proudly add your photo to my website — not for popularity or clicks, but to celebrate that something I created helped someone like you. That feeling? It would mean the world to me.
Your photo will be proof that a simple effort made a difference.
Who Am I? A Digital Explorer
I don’t run a company. I don’t sit in a fancy office.
I’m just someone who loves the journey, who believes in making paths easier for others.
The internet is my compass, and Google Maps is my vehicle.
Until the day I can physically travel the roads of America, I roam them online — every day, with the same love.
And New Jersey is not just a location for me — it’s both a destination and a path I walk in my dreams.
In the End…
I’m sitting 23.5 hours away in my homeland, Azad Kashmir — maybe on some mountain, I once carved “My Love New Jersey.

New Jersey Rest Areas are more than pit stops — they are places of peace, safety, and breath for every traveler.
On this website, you’ll find more than locations and directions.
You’ll find a companion who understands the road — and who’s already waiting for you at the next stop.
Thank you for visiting.
You may not know me,
But I already know your journey —
And I’ve made the road a little easier for you.
