We are out traveling once again—but don’t worry we’ll be back with new episodes very, very soon. This week, in honor of the summer travel spirit, we’re throwing it back with one of our favorite episodes from last summer: our ultimate guide to road trips. Joined by Mara Balagtas and Traveler community editor Megan Spurrell, we talk about some of the best road trips we've ever taken, compare notes on some of the most memorable routes in the U.S., and dish plenty of advice on everything from car maintenance to playlist making.
