There has never been such a good time to take a road trip as this summer! Since international travel is still up in the air, why not plan a fun and exciting road trip to explore more of your own country! Here is a list of 6 road trips from all over the USA. No matter where you live, adventure awaits!

Pacific Coast Highway (California State Route 1)

This might be one of the most famous highways in America. Not only because of the location in sunny California but the views are breathtaking! It runs between Los Angeles and San Fransisco. Another high note is the famous Big Sur.

Route 66

Whenever I think of a roadway in America I think of Route 66. It is truly iconic. This road spans between Chicago, Illinois and Santa Monica, California through 8 states.

US Route 1 (Florida)

Although US Route 1 goes along most of the east coast I think the Florida portion is truly unique. A road trip along the Florida coastline is like traveling through the Caribbean with its clear water, sand beaches and warm air. This portion of the US Route 1 crosses over a lot of water and even connects to the Florida Keys.

Blue Ridge Parkway

The Blue Ridge Parkway has beautiful scenery and overlooks the whole way.

The Blue Ridge Parkway runs between Virginia and North Carolina in the range of the Blue Ridge Mountains. The scenery is beautiful year around and so is the weather!

Route 12 (Utah)

State Route 12 is a very unique road trip. Not only is it contained within one state but, it passes through both Bryce Canyon National Park and Capitol Reef national park. The scenery of the red rock formations is astounding and, this would be a completely different road trip if driven in the summer and then in the winter!

Hana Coastline (Hawaii)

The Hana Coastline goes on for miles with its beautiful views of luscious plants and sparkling waters.

The Hana Coastline is the perfect escape from the bustling mainland. It showcases Hawaii's black sand beaches, sparkling waters, luscious greenery and even a waterfall or two. What more could you ask for in a road trip?

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
