Road Trips: Romance vs. Reality

Do you dream about doing a long-term road trip? Do you have it on your bucket list to do a big road trip? Through the United States? Canada? Australia? You are not alone – doing a big road trip has been something that we’ve wanted to do for a long time. And now we’re doing it!

On this episode of the podcast, we aren’t talking specifically about our current road trip, but it has inspired the topic of this episode. We’re discussing the romantic vision of a road trip to the reality of road tripping. We talk about the experiences that we’ve had on the road, the great things about road trips, and then the realities that aren’t always so pretty.

Enjoy!
