America has over 12,000 miles of coastal shoreline (Atlantic, Pacific, & Arctic Oceans, Gulf of Mexico). These shorelines encompass  some of the world's most beautiful drives. From Maine's rugged coast to the soft sugary beaches of Florida's Gulf Coast, to Pacific Coast Highway, arguably the most iconic drive of them all, these vista offer a glimpse of planet earth at its finest. Our guest is Charles McCool of McCool Travel, a platform that shows travelers how to increase happiness and reduce stress on every trip. One of McCool's specialities is road trips. His story Ultimate US Coastal Scenic Drive Resources Guide  serves as a backdrop for this podcast. We discuss all the adventures mentioned above that include trips to Hawaii's Big Island, parts of the Alaska Coast and numerous stops along the eastern seaboard from Maine to the Florida Keys. We look at the culture of each region along with how you should plan one of these drives. But don't just stop there, visit McCool Travels website for tips on travel all over the world. The content is written in an easily digestible format with real inside tips, not something they read in a guide book.
