We drive the routes. We hike the trails. We test the restaurants. Then we write it all down - so you don't have to figure it out yourself.
About Us

Where it all started - a ten-year-old in front of a Giant Sequoia.
My father and I in Lower Antelope Canyon - the trip that changed everything.
The Beginning
When I was about ten, I had one dream: to ride a Harley-Davidson along Route 66 with my father. I knew almost nothing about America - just the name Harley-Davidson, and the promise of endlessly empty roads where you could ride for hours without a single traffic jam. For a kid with zero patience for being stuck in place, that was magnetic.
When the time finally came, the dream had to evolve - renting two Harleys for two weeks was, unsurprisingly, not in the budget. We had a choice: one week each on a motorcycle, or two weeks together in a car. We chose time over style, and it was the best decision we ever made.
That first trip turned into many more. By now, I've completed several major road trips across the West, covering vast territory from San Francisco to Mesa Verde. I've visited most of the places in our guides multiple times - and I've never once been bored.
The Problem We Solve
The modern traveler faces a new problem: information overload. There's too much noise - AI-generated listicles, social media hype, and "Instagram-famous" traps that look stunning in a Reel but disappoint in person.
Every first-time planner has to fight through a mountain of content without knowing which places are truly worthwhile and which are just clickbait. We built The Roadtrip Series to fix that.
When I sat down to write the first guide, I asked myself one question:
"If I were planning a road trip today for someone who had never been there before - which route would I take, and what would I want them to see?"
That's it. No encyclopedic coverage, no sponsored recommendations, no filler. One curated route, stripped of complexity, designed so you can look back and know - without a doubt - that you just had the road trip of a lifetime.

Who We Are
Writer · Photographer · Route Designer
The planner, the driver, and the one who drags everyone out of bed at 5 AM for sunrise. By day, GM EMEA at Chrono24. By weekends and vacations, the person behind every route, every photo, and every restaurant recommendation in our guides. Shoots on a Sony A7CR and a Fuji X100VI.
Co-Pilot · Videographer · Food Critic
The honest voice that tells you whether a trail is actually worth the detour. Franzi tests every hike, rates every restaurant, and keeps the itinerary grounded in reality. If something made it into the guide, it passed her filter.
Our Setup
Sony A7CR for landscapes. Sony A6700 for video. Fuji X100VI for street and candids. Plus a handful of lenses we've tested through deserts, canyons, and coastal fog.
