Drive The Entire USA West Coast (& back again) In 3 Minutes
Written by Jaillan Yehia
Weed, California – I challenge anyone not to snigger just a little.
I’ve been a little quiet on the blog lately – that’s because I’ve been been planning adventures and spending time thinking about a few of my favourite things.
Yes, I do love raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens as much as the next girl (unless the next girl is actual Julie Andrews) and while it isn’t the season for snowflakes that stay on my nose and eyelashes, it is the season for one of my favourite things of all: R-O-A-D-T-R-I-P-S.
As I head off on a little adventure through Canada’a answer to the Alps to check out the skyscraper and Stetson city of Calgary, I thought it might be time to share a mini-montage of my last epic road journey – a mammoth drive down the entire USA West Coast.
I did it over 4 weeks, but you can experience it in just 3 minutes…
As a Londoner I loved being able to hop on a plane and land in any European city of my choice within a couple of hours (or if flying Ryanair, any field in the middle of nowhere an hour bus ride away from a bustling European metropolis).
One of the best things about being on the West Coast is that you’re spoiled for choice when it comes to road trip ideas, but I can’t see how anything can beat this epic drive from the Canada-US border all the way to the US-Mexico border – and back again.
p.s. YouTube randomly chose this cover photo, not I, so sorry if it’s TMI 😉
p.p.s. Make sure you have the sound on – the tunes are *everything* on a road trip.
