The more I travel internationally, the more I appreciate traveling within the United States. That wasn’t the outcome I expected when I started spending so much time overseas, but it has become increasingly obvious over the years. Travel has a funny way of highlighting things that I once took for granted.
It’s easy to overlook because most of us simply expect it, but America is an extraordinarily easy country to explore.
I’ve driven through lonely stretches of the desert where I didn’t see another car for half an hour. I’ve watched the sun rise over the Atlantic and set over the Pacific on the same day (and vice-versa). I’ve flown over Alaska, wandered through the Lower 48, and stood in Hawaii marveling at how all of this somehow belongs to the same country.
A great solo travel tip spotted this week on Live and Let's Fly.
