@f_pitt2000@FreddyLA7@Clay4MainStreet@SpecEnvTourism@RepClayFuller@ThomasMHern It’s people with attitudes like yours, that are why so many of these visitors have been shocked by the wonderful experiences they’ve had here. When all they hear/see is negativity, they assume that’s just the way things are here. I’m thankful they’ve had great experiences here.🇺🇸
Now that the trip is almost over, I want to answer one of the questions we’ve been asked the most: “How are you guys able to afford a trip like this?”
The answer is actually pretty simple. We saved up for this trip over the past year, and it wasn’t nearly as expensive as most people probably assume.
We stayed mostly in budget hotels, and always split the cost between the three of us. Our flight to the US was also only 255€ for example. The biggest expenses were the rental cars and World Cup tickets.
In total the 6 weeks here with everything combined probably cost around 6-7k (It‘s probably 6k but since we also saved money thanks to invitations like the hotel stay in Houston, let‘s say it would’ve been around 7k). I know that’s still a lot of money, but it’s nowhere near what some people seemed to think we were spending. We met other World Cup tourists who told us their trips cost more than $40,000. If you‘re ok with not living in luxury than travelling doesn‘t need to be this expensive.
I’ll calculate the exact total once I’m back home.
@FreddyLA7 I’m just really happy that you have enjoyed being in our country as much as you have! Really thankful that you didn’t encounter “bad apples” to spoil your impression of our wonderful country. Enjoy the rest of your time & have a safe trip back home. Much love to you! 🤗
Tennessee❤️
When people told us at the beginning of our road trip that people in the South are different, we didn’t really know what they meant. But after spending several weeks here, we finally understand.
The hospitality here is just something else. Everyone knows everyone, and it feels like people are living one big shared life. Someone is always stopping by, doors are always open, and everyone is welcome.
One guy told us he hasn’t locked his house in 23 years. When we were out on the lake, we met some people who immediately invited us to their lake house to hang out. They offered us drinks, chicken wings, and made us feel completely at home. It’s a kind of hospitality I’ve never experienced before.
When we got back to the dock late that night, one of the guys on the boat said something that really stuck with me:
“You don’t have to live in some big, exciting city. What matters is the people who live there. That’s what makes you happy. I’ve lived in many places around the world, but nothing comes close to Ocoee, Tennessee. And you know the best part about living here? We’re going to do the exact same thing again tomorrow.”
We will be back.

@FreddyLA7 Please overlook the keyboard warrior haters. Those of us who love our country can’t get enough of YOU loving our country!!! I’m just sad I can’t witness it in person! I love the joy you are feeling. God Bless You my friend!
I’ve always been a huge ”not a fan” of him, but still saddened to hear this news. Rest In Peace Kyle Busch. Prayers for his family, friends and racing community. 😔
