Man, I am itching to plan and go on what I am going to call a Social Media Road Trip. Basicly I would love to go on a roadtrip in my Jeep, powered by the direction of those on Social Media Networks. All the while blogging about everything I see, do, eat and feel. Be a tourist with a website. Be like a traveling billboard for the great things Canada has to offer.
Sure it has been done before, but it is something that I’m very passionate about and have the “drive” to do.
It will be something that will take a lot of work, planning and quite possibly begging. I don’t think it can happen for at least a year, but someday. The biggest detail I’ll need to work out is how to financially support myself on this journey. One big sponsor, Advertisers, but how to line these type of things up.
I have always had the bug for roadtrips and always had the desire to travel across Canada but never thought about the logistics. The desire really started to come when interviewed Dave Conroy while he was in Yellowknife and then when I started following Alex and Luke and finally just now when I found Roadtrip with a Reason.
I guess I have some planning to do.
Coffee shops, dude. They give you coffee, you give them promo. That was my first thought, you’ll need to stay awake somehow..lol. I’m not sure if anybody would want to do that though…
Hey Kyle! Thanks so much for the mention… even though I am really just beginning the planning process of the roadtrip, I can tell you that it IS a lot of work …but I know it will be totally worth it. Go for it!
Perhaps we can meet up when I eventually make my way to Yellowknife 🙂
Cheers!
Thanks for the encouragement.
Would love to meet up and chat. I’m currently in Fort St John, BC, but who knows where I’ll be when you’re on the road.
Have fun.
This is a great idea! Although I didn’t drive, I did dance all over Canada and wrote a book about it. There are too many stories not to share. Do it! Can’t wait to read all about the trip sometime soon. 😉
I think Dancing across Canada takes the cake. My trip is a long way off. For the time being I’ll stick which writing when I go on my short trips.
When are you going to come to Yellowknife, NT. Check out my other site all about the City. http://ykonline.ca

The NWT is one of the only provinces/territories in Canada I haven’t been to and I wasn’t able to cover it in my book. It’s right up at the top of my list, though! I will make sure to get in touch with you before I go up. Great blog about Yellowknife, by the way.
