ROADTRIPPIN'--the philosophy behind "Slow Travel"

In today's fast-paced world full of high-tech gadgets, high-speed internet and high-rise hotels, we all need time to take a break and enjoy the slower, more purposeful pace of one of the greatest American joys: a cross-country road trip!

One of the best ways to see our beautiful country is by driving its highways and exploring the landmarks and state and national parks that make America one of the most wonderful places to live and travel.

The philosophy behind so-called "Slow Travel" is simply taking the time to connect to a place and its people, to explore the local life and culture of a place instead of just checking off a list of famous site to visit.
