Check out the states I’ve been to!

Traveling to 27 states across the U.S. has been an incredibly enriching experience for me, especially through road trips that offer a unique way to connect with the diverse landscapes and cultures of each region. Among my favorites, New Mexico stands out with its enchanting desert vistas and rich Native American heritage, while Colorado offers majestic mountain scenery perfect for outdoor adventures. Utah and Nevada offer stunning natural wonders — from the surreal rock formations in Utah’s national parks to the vibrant nightlife and desert beauty of Nevada. Wyoming’s expansive open spaces and tranquil environments provide a perfect escape from urban life, and Oregon captivates with its lush forests and rugged coastline. What makes these journeys memorable goes beyond the destinations themselves. I cherish the simple pleasures of the open road—the feeling of wind in my hair, the spontaneous conversations with travel companions, and the discovery of hidden gems like natural hot springs where I found peace and rejuvenation. For anyone considering taking a multi-state road trip, I recommend planning routes that allow for spontaneous stops at lesser-known sights and taking time to soak in local culture. The best moments often come from unplanned detours and the camaraderie shared over late-night campfires or giggles sparked by road trip antics. By embracing both the popular attractions and the quiet moments in between, you create a deeply personal and joyful travel experience. This journey has not only broadened my appreciation for the incredible diversity across the U.S. but also enriched my life with friendships, laughter, and a stronger connection to nature.
