America is an amazing land, in many ways I think it’s greatest cities areĀ a microcosm of what the world should look like. But what I find most fascinating is culture. Here we are all in the same boat politically, economically, and socially but each place in this great country has the potential to be a world unto itself. I want to discover and live through this great land before it is gone.
I have fallen into a trap believing that happiness can only be found by traveling the country through the open road. Not to say that the open road is not a discovery in itself, but that I don’t need to throw myself into a 6 month long escapade through the United States of America to find it’s treasures. The concept of the road trip is an impractical one for me and, while it may be more practical later in life it, now is the time to act and I must explore, discover, live.
The concept is simple: Get a map, pick a place, fly there, rent a vehicle if need be, tent in KOA’s, and spend at least 5 days discovering. You’re there, you’ve done it, now go.
