Buckle up for a Southern USA Musical Roadie!

USA

When you think of the all-American road trip, ‘getting your kicks on Route 66’, instantly springs to mind. But set off on an adventure of the toetapping kind, enjoy a musical pilgrimage to the heart of jazz, blues and rock ‘n’ roll.

Your epic road trip starts in New Orleans, where even the street performers possess more talent than your average mainstream musician. But then, this is the Deep South and you’re in the realm of the legendary greats. Explore the birthplace of jazz, then head to Memphis and visit Graceland, Elvis Presley’s former home and Sun Studio, where he recorded his first record.

For modern vibes, Beale Street remains the premiere hangout for musical prodigies. And in Nashville you’ll find plenty of country music for a last hurrah, before heading home.

Why I Love Travel

The places I see and the people I meet—travel truly is the best way to broaden the mind. It allows you to experience and learn from different cultures and walks of life. Life is short; travel often.


My Travel Tips

  • If you are always early, you are never late.
  • Pre-book as much as possible before departure and schedule rest days on longer trips.
  • Live courageously—100% of the opportunities you don’t take are missed.


My Top Three Favourite Destinations

Italy
The food, history, people, dramatic coastlines, and mountains—Italy deserves a place on everyone’s bucket list.


USA
With its extraordinary diversity of cultures and experiences, you could spend a lifetime exploring the United States and still not see it all.


Patagonia
Challenging to reach, but the dramatic landscapes that greet you make every moment of the journey worthwhile.


What’s in My Suitcase

  • Kindle / E-reader – Lightweight, easy to pack, and long-lasting battery life; an essential on every trip.
  • Noise-cancelling headphones – Ideal for busy airports and long-haul flights.
  • Travel plug adapter – Easy to forget, but absolutely essential.

You know how some people collect handbags or shoes, well I have a love of collecting passport stamps! I developed a bit of a passion for adventure travel since working in the States at a summer camp in my early 20’s. I have travelled to over 40 countries, doing everything from eating scorpions in China, snorkelling the Silfra fissure in Iceland, to skydiving in Namibia.
