Hey, welcome to Roaming the USA! Awesome to see you here!
I’m Marco — traveler, writer, entrepreneur, and the soul behind Roaming the USA.
While I didn’t start this blog from scratch, I’m proud to have taken over a well-loved travel resource with a strong reputation. With over 15 years of experience exploring America’s scenic byways, national parks, small towns, and everything in between, I’m dedicated to maintaining the blog’s original spirit while bringing fresh insights, updated guides, and honest advice you can rely on.
What began as a love for all kinds of travel — from backpacking and road trips to glamping and the occasional luxury stay — evolved into the new version of this blog: a space to share stories, tips, itineraries, and practical advice for travelers looking for more than just typical tourist traps.
A Bit More About Me
- I’ve visited 48 US states (Alaska and North Dakota are still on my list)
- I’ve driven over 120,000 miles across the country (yes, with carefully curated playlists)
- I have a background in writing, digital media, and travel journalism
- I believe national parks are America’s greatest idea, but a diner breakfast in small town in Idaho is a close second
- Oh, and I occasionally spill coffee on my laptop
What You Can Expect Here
- No-nonsense, experience-based travel guides
- Itineraries designed to keep you moving (or relaxing) in all the right spots
- Tips for everything from national parks to small towns and city escapes
- Gear and apps I actually use (because who needs more clutter?)
- A little personality with zero fluff
Transparency and Trust
I’m serious about accuracy. I only recommend places and products I’ve tested or vetted. Some posts have affiliate links, but I only promote stuff I’d happily recommend to my own travel buddies.
Plus, I’m all about ethical travel: supporting local businesses, respecting nature, and exploring thoughtfully instead of racing to tick boxes.
