After being a college student for what seems like an eternity, I'm finally coming to the end of my college days. I can hear my parents cheering from here.
A few years ago I decided after graduation I would plan the ultimate road trip. Where? Well, I have a few ideas!

1. Los Angeles
LA has always been my ultimate goal for my road trip. Yes, Kala and I were just there two months ago, but not nearly long enough! Considering I grew up on the East Coast, California has always been a place calling my name. Plus, driving across the country would give me a lot to explore along the way, right?
2) New York City
Sure, New York City from Washington D.C. (my current location) is a hop, skip and a jump. I get it, but if you aren't keen on the idea of sitting in the car for hours, or days, you might want to take a mini road trip and explore the city that never sleeps! Catch a play on Broadway, explore all the museums and shop!
3) New Orleans, Louisiana
If you like food and music, New Orleans is the place for you. Grab yourself some Cajun food and explore the city's rich history! The city has a ton of great live music, paranormal tours and fun night life!
4) Niagara Falls, New York
It's scenic, beautiful and peaceful. It's the perfect place if you love photography and good ol' Mother Nature.
5) Las Vegas, Nevada
Vegas. What happens there, stays there right? After years of nights studying, writing papers and cranking out projects it's time to let loose and what better place is there than Vegas? Correct, there isn't one. Celebrate your graduation and adulthood, while drowning yourself in frozen drinks and hopefully hitting it big!
6) Portland, Maine
Sure, Maine may seem random but I assure you it isn't. Maine is beautiful, everywhere you look and the weather is perfect this time of year. Heck, my parents even honeymooned in Maine. Enjoy the scenery, lighthouses and grab yourself a lobster roll!
7) Nashville, Tennessee
Nashville is known as 'Music City' so if you love music, this is the city for you! You can visit the Country Music Hall of Fame, visit all the historical sites and enjoy live music!
