Everyone should get to know their own
country, as well as the continent they live on. However, if your motherland is
as vast as the USA, that is not easy.
Not to mention the whole of North America.
Road trippin’ has long ago become a part of American culture and legacy and an
indispensable experience in the life of every American. There is no better way
to get to know a country so big than sitting in your car and driving through
it, at your own pace and convenience.
Of course, it’s not so easy to choose which
road to take as America is full of different routes and brimming with diverse
breathtaking sceneries as well as cities, from coasts,
to valleys, mountains, deserts and many more.
