Still chasing the next great American road trip.
I've been driving America since before GPS existed — using printed atlases, asking locals for directions, and taking wrong turns on purpose. Open Roads started as a personal journal and grew into something bigger. I write about the places that don't show up in glossy travel magazines yet: the two-lane highway that takes you exactly where you hoped, the national park that's still quiet on a Tuesday, the roadside spot that's been feeding travelers since 1971. If you love the open road as much as I do, you're in the right place.
