I’m 35, and I’ve recently started becoming more interested in road trips across the US instead of just flying everywhere. There’s something about the idea of slow travel, seeing small towns, and actually experiencing the distance between places that feels really appealing.

I’ve done a few shorter trips myself, but I realize I’m still very early in understanding what makes a road trip truly special.

For those of you who’ve done a lot of road trips over the years—what’s the most memorable one you’ve ever taken, and what made it stand out for you?

Was it the route, the people you were with, something unexpected that happened, or just a particular moment along the way?

I’d really love to hear your stories.

Hi everyone! I'm a 35-year-old woman from Malaysia planning my first trip to the United States this September. I hope to meet some new people and build some genuine friendships before I leave.

About me: I love traveling and exploring new places. I enjoy trying local cuisine and learning about different cultures. I love having meaningful conversations, sharing life experiences, and meeting people from diverse backgrounds.

This will be my first time in the United States, so I'm incredibly excited! I'm eager to experience daily life in different states, get recommendations from locals, and discover attractions that tourists often miss. I sincerely hope to make some genuine friends and engage in cultural exchange. If we become friends before I leave, maybe we can grab a coffee when I visit your city.

Feel free to leave a comment or message me. I'd especially like to meet friends from the United States, but everyone is welcome to say hello. Looking forward to meeting new friends! 😊

Here, I often see posts from people looking for someone to chat with late at night, but when I reach out to these posters, I rarely get a reply. I don't know why. Actually, I'm hoping to find someone I can chat with long-term. I have a gentle personality, many interests, and I think I'm easy to get along with. I enjoy sharing our daily lives with each other; I think that feeling is wonderful. If you'd like, please leave me a message, no location or time restrictions.
