I embarked on an ambitious year-long road trip that kicked off in Boston in November 2022, and it’s set to conclude right back where it began in November 2023. The prospect of this grand journey filled me with a unique blend of anticipation and excitement, knowing that I would be traversing the diverse landscapes of North America, experiencing the ebb and flow of the seasons from coast to coast.
For the initial leg of the adventure, I strategically planned to chase the sun, leading me through the warmth of the southern states and up the breathtakingly scenic west coast. This part of the trip allowed me to soak in the balmy rays of the southern winter, exploring charming coastal towns, vibrant cities, and natural wonders along the way. As the seasons shifted and the days grew longer, my route veered northward, transitioning into the summer phase. It was during this time that I embarked on a truly epic journey, navigating through the heart of Canada, crossing into the rugged wilderness of Alaska, and ultimately aiming for the elusive Arctic Circle. The stark contrast between the winter and summer segments of my voyage promised a wealth of diverse experiences, each chapter offering its own unique tapestry of sights, sounds, and adventures.
I have been asked multiple time where I went in my first six months. Below is a fun little video recapping where I went on the first six months of the trek. This leg took me down the east coast to Florida, across the country to California and back to Florida.
