US Roadtrips
Disclaimer: last time I owned a car was in 2006 right before moving abroad. I don’t need it, I don’t miss it. Both in London and in Chicago it would be an unnecessary expense. Also in most of my previous trips I’ve preferred using public transports to move around: buses, train, shared buses… Moving to the US I’ve discovered this, to me new, way of travelling: After a relatively short road trip with a mate from Chicago to Nashville in 2019, I really got into road-tripping in 2020 when I drove solo, the Route 66. Long desert roads, incredible everchanging landscapes: road trips in the US are different.
