  3. I’m a huge road tripper myself but still have yet to make it down to the deep south, I’ll def have to throw this on my road trip bucket list. Was this a trip you already went on or one you have coming up?

  4. Did you ever visit Denver? I heard it is a great city. I keep asking travel bloggers to get as much info as possible.
    I am slowly gathering information to build my USA itinerary. Hope I get to visit them all one day.

    Great itinerary by the way. Hope you loved every second of the trip.

  5. I am an adventurous soul who loves to travel. I have been fortunate enough to see many places around the world, but there is one place that has been on my bucket list for a while now – New Orleans.

  6. What I love about this blog is it’s not only incredibly entertaining, but also a wealth of information, with a lot of wonderful people who I wish I could sit across the table from and listen to their stories.
