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:
There is so many different cultures to experience and history that goes way beyond New Zealand's few hundred years of course - stunning natural beauty can be enjoyed all over the world.
My travel tips:
- If you are there - do it. Travel is all about experiences that create wonderful memories, so don't regret not doing something because you were concerned about the price - the bank won't mind and you will talk about it for years to come.
- Pack light as you can always find a laundromat - though I do need to take me own advice!
- Find the most comfortable walking shoes you can find and break them in before you go. You will probably do lots of walking in some countries .... old European cobbled streets can take a toll.
- Be prepared to and learn how to tip so you don't get thought of as a bad tourist - most of the world tips for service and yet it's so foreign to us, but very important to do so.
My top 5 favourite destinations:
- Pacific Islands - a close tropical beach escape. The rest of the world dreams of these exotic locations and they are just there for us.
- Canada - amazing wilderness experiences on a grand scale.
- Italy - organised chaos! I just love the expressive personalities of the people, as well the fabulous food and drink and amazing history.
- Vietnam - a bit of everything from great beaches to amazing food and stunning rural scenery and different minority cultures.
- Mediterranean Cruise - why not take your hotel with you - wake up each day with a new culture and experience to be had - this is the place to cruise!
What's in my suitcase:
- Too much - I must do better!
- One universal adaptor and a 4 plug New Zealand multi box
