I’ve always dreamed of driving Route 66. It’s more than just a road—it symbolizes America, freedom, nostalgia, and the open road—a classic representation of adventure and discovery. In April of 2024, I finally made that dream a reality. I flew to Los Angeles and set off for Chicago, traveling backward by some standards, but it was a route that felt right for me. The journey was filled with unexpected moments, incredible landscapes, and encounters with the spirit of America itself. It was the ultimate road trip, one I’ll never forget—a true adventure that brought me closer to the heart of this country and to the freedom the open road represents.
