I've taken 8 major road trips in my lifetime, spanning from 2011 to 2022, and I have learned many lessons along the way. Three were cross-country, from Indiana to California/Arizona, and the other five encompassed a multidate of states (one was 16 states total) and stops. Now, I'd like to share those lessons with you! …

While Sedona (I Left my Heart and Soul in Sedona.) is still one of my favorite places ever, Montana is hands down my absolute favorite state in all the United States 🙌🏼. I’ve seen photos of this beautiful state for years, only being able to picture visiting it in my mind. Being able to finally …

The “4 Corners’” lesser known, less popular cousin, few know about the three states that meet in the Midwest. Almost everyone knows about the “4 Corners” in the Southwest, but I had never heard of the “3 Corners” until I researched things to do for my last cross-country road trip. It’s where the states of …

The expansive Utahan desert, right outside of Grafton. Tucked down a bumpy, 3-mile partial dirt road, sits a little known and extremely cool ghost town.

We visited this epic beast on the last day of our 2019 East Coast road trip. Although we were driving 12 hours straight from Washington D.C. to Indiana, this was something I’ve …

An iconic roadside stop just outside of Amarillo, Texas, Cadillac Ranch is worth the stop. More or less a car Stonehenge (Stonehenge: Not Just a Pile of Rocks.), it’s located in a large, flat, cow pasture, and can be seen from the interstate. However, the cars are actually located quite a ways into the field …
Although I’ve made this drive before not once, but twice, the experiences and sights were still brand new and different. It really makes me stop and think about the things I likely missed in my previous trips, literally anywhere, and what I’d discover by going back. Also, I suspect that going through these states at …

**Those who've read my previous road trip blogs know they are long, and this one is no different! If you read until the end: Thank you!!!** Most road trips I take with my friend are jam-packed and hectic, with stop after stop after stop. We decided to do this one a bit differently, spending more …

Manhattan from the boat. Amazing view. If I had to sum up New York City in two words, it’d be: controlled chaos. I’ve been to many major cities in the United States and Europe – most notably Chicago, L.A., Las Vegas, London, Copenhagen, Berlin, and St. Petersburg Russia – and NONE compares to NYC. I …
Hello everyone! I recently took around 6 weeks off from writing due to a case of writers block as well as, ya know, life (especially life with a toddler). Anddd as my luck would have it, just as I was getting my mojo back, I have to jet off to Illinois this weekend, and then …
