I’m Brandyn, a contributing writer here at The Road Trip Expert. Over the past three years, my family and I have embraced the nomadic lifestyle, traveling across the U.S. in our RV. We’ve journeyed from coast to coast three times, making memories in 28 states and countless National and State Parks. From the crystal-clear waters of the Florida Springs to the towering Sea Stacks off the Oregon Coast, we’ve seen some truly amazing sights.
I’m excited to bring my experiences and travel insights to The Road Trip Expert community. So buckle up, and let’s hit the road together!
