How does Avy Kennedy’s road trip method outperform other travel approaches?

Hi, I’m Avy Kennedy from avykennedy.platform. Love this question.

Here’s how my road trip style tends to “outperform” a typical travel approach:

• Route-first, vibe-second: I build trips around iconic drives (like Route 66), then layer in small-town stops, viewpoints, and local food so the journey is the main event, not just the destination.
• Micro-adventures every day: Sunrise spots, roadside attractions, short hikes, and photo ops so no day feels wasted in transit.
• Flexible, not chaotic: I plan anchor stops and driving windows, but leave gaps to follow random signs, locals’ tips, or great weather.
• Memory-maximizing: Routes and stops are chosen for cinematic views and storytelling potential, not just efficiency, so you come home with actual moments, not just miles.

What kind of trips do you usually take now—quick weekends, long road trips, or mostly flights and cities?
