I’ve been traveling my whole life. My mom never shied away from throwing us kids into the car and just going for a road trip. I’ve been from one end of the US to the other. I know, I know. Only the US? But, anyone who’s driven from one end of the US to the other knows how much of a task that is and how different the culture is from one area of the country to the other. If you aren’t aware, from San Francisco, CA to New York, NY it’s almost 3000 miles (4800 km). That’s further than Lagos, Portugal to Narva, Estonia. There are 7 other countries you’d pass through on that drive. The US is vast.
