Triptipedia USA roadtrip review

 USA Roadtrip by Edi Biasutti from Sydney Australia

(over 50 Aussie female solo traveller USA Roadtrip and beyond)

Since returning from my mega Odyssey, driving 29,000 kilometres (18,000 miles), through all the continental USA states, people ask me what was my favourite place.

I find it difficult to answer because every place has something special.

However, this last trip to the USA included the majestic Mississippi River.  I discovered the Great River Road https://experiencemississippiriver.com/

A series of roads which run along the Mississippi River through 10 states. Below are photos of some of the towns on the Mississippi as well as a photo or 2 of state highlights. I captured a lot more on this trip than I have on any trip to the USA. However, this is such a miniscule part of this great country.  I can’t wait to share the rest of what I have explored.
