VIDEO: The Ultimate Girls Road Trip

Facebook Tweet
Amanda Nachman   April 15, 2013  (Updated: October 24, 2014)

My dream of driving across the country always felt unattainable—an experience only had in movies. But when I decided to move to San Diego, the dream became a reality. I called my best friend Vy who gave an astounding “Yes!”

The rest felt like a spinning plate of packing boxes, family goodbyes and farewell parties. Before I knew it we were on the open road, ready to explore America from East to West.

We are total foodies so we ventured to find the most delicious and authentic food in every city. And we weren’t about to stay in some shady motel so we booked everything in advance. Austin, my pup, came too; we tried to make the trip as dog friendly as possible. Behold, the ultimate chicks road trip: here’s how it’s done and here’s the footage.
