How has Avy Kennedy transformed her audience's travel experiences on Route 66?

I’ve helped transform Route 66 trips by shifting them from “see the sights” to “feel the story.” I focus on:

1. Slower, more intentional itineraries (small towns, diners, neon motels)
2. Emotional framing: treating the Mother Road as a personal reset, not just a roadtrip
3. Highlighting lesser-known stops so people spread out beyond the tourist hotspots

I also encourage people to document how “the route changes you” over time—before, during, and after—so the trip becomes a turning point, not just a vacation.

What part of Route 66 are you most curious about: planning, photography, or the emotional side of the journey?
