Last month I drove across the United States from Oregon to New York with my friend Matt.
Side note: he’s been begging to be written about since last year (apparently one dedicated post and a handful of other mentions weren’t good enough for him!!). Sometime in the middle of Wyoming he turned to me and said, “Does this count as doing something significant enough to get written about?”
Yes. Yes it does. If you spend 8 days in a car with someone, they get a blog appearance. It’s a rule.
Matt and I went to 14 states and drove almost 3700 miles in 8 days. It was pretty intense, but also so much fun. I’d do it again in a heartbeat, although I’d love to do a Southern route next time just to change up the scenery.
Long hours in the car and lots of sightseeing meant a lot of Instagramming. My feed has even more photos of the trip, but here are some highlights:

That sounds like a great trip Sabina! What was the distance? I guess if I were to do that here I’d almost end up in Russia…

The trip looks amazing! My husband and I plan to road-trip across the country in the pretty near future, and I really can’t wait. There’s so much to see! Oh, and I love Subarus. :)

The country is MASSIVE. Truly so much to see. We could’ve done longer if we didn’t have a deadline.

When I was three, my parents did a month-long cross country road trip. Of course my brother was 15 so he remembers it, but I don’t. I’ve always given them a hard time for not redoing the trip when I got older, but some day I’ll make it happen.
