Join me on an unforgettable journey as I explore the wonders of Route 66 and beyond, sharing tips and experiences from my solo road trip adventure!
What inspired your road trip?
The inspiration for my road trip grew out of a season of change — a moment when I realized I needed to slow down, reset, and give myself the space to breathe and a chance to celebrate my son’s marriage. Route 66 felt like the perfect path for that kind of rediscovery since it was a trip we took when he was little. Its long stretches of open road, small towns, shifting landscapes, and hidden gems called to me in a way that felt both nostalgic and healing. This journey from Champaign to California and back isn’t just about seeing America’s beauty; it’s about learning to take time for myself, embracing the unknown, and finding clarity in the quiet miles between here and wherever I’m headed next.
What are the must-visit stops along Route 66?
Some must-visit stops along Route 66 include the historic town of Williams, the Grand Canyon, and quirky roadside attractions like the Cadillac Ranch. Each stop offers unique experiences and a glimpse into the rich history of the route.

I plan my road trip itinerary by researching destinations, creating a list of attractions, and mapping out the best routes. I also consider factors like travel time, accommodation options, weather/fire conditions, and local dining spots to ensure a smooth journey.
