Five roadtrips to take before 25: Plan now and get excited

Some people love them; some people hate them. And I’m talking about road trips. Personally, I’ve never really been a big fan. My motto has pretty much always been “why drive when you can fly?” But the more I thought about it, the more I realized there is a beauty to road trips that can’t be found when you fly. With a road trip, it’s more about the journey and less about the destination, and there’s something beautiful about that. I consider myself a road trip convert. So I’m going to share five road trips I think everyone should take before turning 25. Hopefully, this will either fuel a desire you already have to take road trips or help you become a new fan of road trips.
