2020 was our first (and at present, only) full year of travel. We covered 9,532 miles, went on 22 hikes, explored 10 National Parks, and made 16 different towns and cities our home for anywhere from 1 to 60 days. Along the way, we took a 6-week roadtrip through New Mexico. Check out our full itinerary here!

Inspired by friends who were RV-ing to the top golf courses in the US, we started experimenting with our newfound work-from-home lifestyle, planning a week-long road trip to Virginia Beach and a two-week road trip through North Carolina.

You’re always in for the top 10 highlights of an area, but also, sometimes, you’re favorite memories are the things that happen spontaneously in-between bucket list activities. Here’s what it means to be a Roadtrip Local, plus 5 steps to planning your next trip as an RTL!
