South West USA
The Southwest of the United States is one of the most traveled destinations for road trippers worldwide. Visitors visit capital cities such as Los Angeles, San Francisco, San Diego, and Las Vegas. They explore the beaches along Highway 1 and go deep into the national parks of Arizona, California, and, for most, Utah. Not to forget to mention the taste of the Mother Road: Route 66 you get. The endless possibilities and the mix of nature and cities attract many.
We made a road trip for you with everything: cities, the best national parks, and Route 66. Start in San Francisco and drive to Los Angeles, with stops on Highway 1. We continue to San Diego and leave the coast behind to explore the national parks, starting with Joshua Tree. We drive Route 66 in Arizona on our way to the Grand Canyon. After the Grand Canyon, we arrive in Navajo territory and get to know their way of life in Page and Monument Valley.
We make our way up North to Moab and Arches National Park, turning back South to make stops in Bryce Canyon and Zion before we’re heading to the Hoover Dam, Valley of Fire, and Las Vegas. After 2 days of gambling, we’re leaving for Death Valley, June Lake, Mono Lake, and Bodie.
We make our way into Yosemite by driving the Tioga Pass. After Yosemite, we’re going to Visalia to visit Sequoia & Kings Canyon. Closing of our 25-day road trip in San Francisco.

Florida, Memphis, and New Orleans
Florida is one of the most visited states of the United States for both domestic and international travelers. It’s most known for its theme parks in Orlando, Miami, Kenndy Space Center, and the Everglades. We made a 24-day road trip, bringing Memphis and New Orleans to the table, too.
We start our trip in Miami, exploring downtown before we leave for the Florida Keys and Key West. After 2 days in Key West, we head back North and stop in the Everglades National Park. Making our way to the Florida West Coast to visit Naples, Sanibel, Fort Myers, and Tampa. On our way to Tupelo, where we visit the birth house of Elvis Presley, we make a stop in Crystal River.
After Tupelo, we continue to Memphis to visit Grace Land and its museum and stop at Beale Street for a dance. Making our way down in the deep south to New Orleans. We’re heading back to Florida and more specifically Orlando to visit some theme parks. Driving to the East Coast again, we make a stop at Kennedy Space Center before going south and spending the last days on Miami Beach.

Chicago To Seattle
This road trip might seem a little bit less sexy than the previous 2. But it holds the best of the American Mid-West. Starting in Chicago and making our first miles on our way to South Dakota. We stop in Wisconsin Dells and Sioux Falls before we arrive at our first National Park: Badlands. From Badlands, we go to Mount Rushmore and Crazy Horse by driving Highway 87, better known as Needles Highway.
Entering Wyoming, we make a stop at Devils Tower and visit the Buffalo Bill Center of The Wild West in Cody. After Cody, it’s time to explore the world’s first national park: Yellowstone. We go straight into Grand Teton on our way to Jackson Hole and Salt Lake City. We need to cross Nevada to go to Lake Tahoe and Sacramento. Heading North to Seattle we stop in Redwood National Park, Portland, Mount Rainier, and Olympic National Park.
