ZIGZAG by Ellen Wittlinger is a great story about a girl on a journey of self-discovery. 17-year-old Robin is bummed when her boyfriend (whom she feels is above her) goes to Italy for the summer, but she agrees to take a journey cross-country (Iowa to a planned destination of California) with her aunt and two young teen cousins, all of whom are experiencing some problems in their lives.
  Also, Donald Gallo did an anthology, DESTINATION: UNEXPECTED, which was all stories about journeys, long and short. Some of the stories include Margaret Haddix's story about a girl from rural Appalachia who travels to a college summer program and Joyce Sweeney's story about a boy from a poor part of town who takes the bus to a different part of the city.
