One of the main parts of my travel bucket list is to visit all 50 states in the US. The United States has so much variety and so many incredible sights! I want to take advantage of that & I won’t let my disability stop me from seeing all the amazing things my country has to offer!
Currently, I have been to 38/50 states + Washington, DC. 12 more to go!
I do count driving through the state on a road trip as visiting the state, but not airport layovers
I will keep this post updated to keep a log of my travels!
