Road trips are the most quintessential summer activity (second of course to eating watermelon!). A road trip helps to bring out the adventurer in all of us—the opportunity to explore new cities and towns, cruise down highways and dirt paths, and stop at sites and Insta-worthy roadside attractions. Daydreaming of the perfect road trip yet? So are we!
What screams “SUMMER” more than a cross-country road trip? Windows down, the breeze in your hair and the open road ahead of you. Whether it’s a solo trip, a weekend away with friends or a weeklong adventure with your family, no summer is truly complete without one.
If you haven’t mapped out your summer trip yet, don’t stress! Let us help you get inspired to plan your own. Over the next week we’ll be following some of our fave social media influencers on their road trips across the country. Tag along with us as we show you an inside look at where they’re headed. From the sandy shores of Florida to the mountains of California, we’re following along to some of the most iconic cities and states. rue21 is going coast to coast!
