In 2020, I flew back to the States after being on lockdown for 3.5 months in Metro Manila. Since most international travel was banned for Americans and many countries had closed their borders to contain the virus, I had to explore domestic travel options if I still wanted to travel.
In 2019, I had come back home from China and being between jobs I decided to rent a car and film my "Heritage" project, where I drove through 25 U.S. States exploring battlefields, museums, parks and everything else that pertained to my own American heritage. I had visited 15 Southern States and 10 Western States and it was a wonderful and memorable experience.
So in 2020, not being able to really go anywhere international except for Mexico, again I decided to rent a car from a south Georgia dealership and hit the American roads. I used a very useful online guide, https://www.roadtripusa.com/, to learn about 11 epic American road trip routes that highlighted all of the major attractions for each route. These routes include the Appalachian Trail, Pacific Coast, Border to Border, Southern Pacific, Route 66, Road to Nowhere and others.
I was able to capture a lot of great sites on and off the beaten path that included Tallulah Gorge State Park in Georgia, the Amish country in Pennsylvania, Stephen King's house in Maine, the 7-mile bridge in the Florida Keys, eating pasties and drinking craft beer in Michigan, major beaches on the California coast, mountain communities in the Rocky Mountains, Native American Indian reservations throughout the country, national parks in various states and so many other really cool attractions.
This year, 2023, I will be producing and publishing seasons with episodes from my ongoing Road Trippin' USA project, that will be accessible on my YouTube channel, Facebook Page along with my other social media platforms. The initial "rough cuts" will be free but the "final cuts" will include paid content from brand sponsors/partners, along with other additional content that can be accessed by subscribers of my Patreon platform.
In the meantime, I hope that you enjoy the free content that I will be releasing from this ongoing, cross-country project as I feel that it will inspire you to find a vehicle and hit the American roads yourself.
