Don’t let the title “Loneliest Road in America” fool you. Nevada’s Highway 50 has been a major thoroughfare since the Pony Express connected the West. And when mail by horse faded with the dawn of the telegraph and automobile, the route blazed a new trail as the first transcontinental highway, from New York to San…
With the largest natural freshwater lake west of the Mississippi, millions of acres of pristine wilderness, and the epic Glacier National Park, Western Montana doesn’t have to do much to impress its visitors. But with that kind of beauty and friendly locals who want to share it, Glacier Country has become one of our favorite…
Not many people talk about the wonders of Saskatchewan, but clearly, they didn’t get very far off the Trans-Canada Highway. We started our Saskatchewan road trip from the far north of the province because we knew it had vast boreal forests, glacial lakes, and some of the world’s oldest rock formations. Working our way south,…
Tennessee! Not only is this state home to The Great Smoky Mountains, their famed whiskey, the birthplace of country music, blues, & rock n’ roll, but it’s also home to the majority of Anne’s family! With aunts, uncles, and cousins on one side of the state and our siblings and nieces on the other, this…
Slovenia is all the hotness right now. This tiny Balkan country made National Geographic’s Best of The World 2023, was named European Region of Gastronomy 2021, and its capital hit the number one spot for 2022 Best European Destination. And as the first country to be declared a “green destination” and the only one with…
As a couple that gave up pretty much everything (house, job, community, most possessions, etc.) to follow a dream, we are always on the lookout for our tribe. We scoured the globe for badass traveling duos to share their favorite place and piece of advice in our book Ultimate Journeys for Two. We’ve made a…
Is it just us, or was 2021 somehow harder than 2020? That first stroke of midnight 364 days ago felt like a fresh start for the world…but instead, it became a waiting game of “When will this get better?” Upon realizing there wasn’t going to be an “end date,” we got vaccinated and moved forward…
Traveling every day since January 2102, we’ve gained a treasure trove of memories. We’ve seen the sunrise over 20,000-foot peaks, walked the streets of ancient civilizations, and met hundreds of people we now call friends. Countless moments brought a smile to our faces, though there are a few that have left a deep imprint on…
The Grand Circle road trip is like wrapping the best of the Southwest’s national park system up in a bow. Ancient volcanic mountains, protruding plateaus and buttes, and deeply carved canyons reveal themselves in a rainbow of colors. Civilizations dating back thousands of years, followed by the Navajo, Apache, Spanish, Mormons, crystal readers, and adrenaline…
On April 13th 2017, we took the big leap to buy an RV and start a cross-continent road trip. 102,368 miles through all 50 states, 6 Canadian provinces and 2 Mexican states later, we can say it’s been an absolutely life-changing experience. We’ve hiked glaciers, scuba dived a barrier reef, roamed with buffalo, climbed in…
“So, you two are in Chicago and driving to LA…are you gonna take Route 66?” My dad posed this question and we felt silly that taking the country’s most iconic road trip hadn’t even crossed our minds. We had just hit our 50th state and the Main Street of America was a brilliant homecoming. Zigzagging…
