I shared 9 Qualities of My Perfect Road Trip recently which are 9 things I try to include on every road trip. This post will go more in depth on each of those areas with specific examples to inspire you for your next road trip!
I reflected on trips I’ve taken over the years – what I learned, what was hard, what I remember most, what was the most filling. I looked at the similarities between my trips and pulled out pieces of what for me, makes my ideal road trip. Here’s what I found…
Teddy is a huge Penn State football fan so we took a trip to see Penn State play on the road in Iowa during the 2021 football season. Rather than just going to the game and coming home, we decided to make it into a mini road trip.
I’m one of the last people to jump on the Youtube train. But after I started to watch travel videos, I got hooked.
