When I was preparing for my Route 66 road trip, I was anxious about how to make the most of my time. That’s when the amazing photographer @blinddrunkmonkey gave me the best advice: “Follow the story and don’t try to plan every twist and turn.”
So I did just that. I hit the road with only two things set—my flight into LA and my flight out of Albuquerque. That little bit of openness turned out to be the magic ingredient. The trip unfolded in ways I never could have planned, and it taught me a lesson I’ll carry with me: stay present, embrace the unknown, and let each adventure lead the way.
Thank you, Ed! I can’t wait to share the projects that grew out of my travels along Route 66.
