A Swedish girl discovering what makes America great, one small town and backroad at a time 🇺🇸

@ayarino0814 It really is, it really blew my mind

[Elsawhere @Elsawherenow]

We were already blown away by how kind Americans had been to us, but this really confirmed it

We’d just set off from Santa Monica for the long drive to Lake Havasu when we popped a tyre. We pulled in for help and the guys repaired it and changed it for us completely FREE!!

It might sound like a small thing but coming from Europe, it genuinely surprised us

From there, we stopped at the famous Peggy Sue’s Diner where we had the biggest milkshakes ever😂

And of course Indiana kept following us around America, this time in the form of James Dean

Then it was back on Route 66 and onwards towards Lake Havasu 🇺🇸❤️

@Birbo614 Haha that’s my uncle! He drove us around for 3 weeks!!

@toddfoltz @TracesofTexas I was told about a town in Texas where they filmed this, and apparently there’s a hotel with a James Dean room?

@WECU76 Yess I’m going to get the annual pass 😍

[Elsawhere @Elsawherenow]

The great American outdoors 🇺🇸 this was in Reinhardt Redwood Regional Park just outside San Francisco

You can just see me in the distance 😂 these trees were HUGE and they weren’t even the big ones

Something I’m really looking forward to once I move is the national parks!!

@noall Ahh beautiful 😍

[Elsawhere @Elsawherenow]

@LovedOnlyOne We traveled all over the US 🙌🏻

[Elsawhere @Elsawherenow]

This was Indiana still, the most patriotic house we saw on our journey 🇺🇸

[Elsawhere @Elsawherenow]

@ThePaprock I think it was Fairmount

[Elsawhere @Elsawherenow]

@brian_esquire OHHH! That’s interesting, I’ve never seen it 🫣

[Elsawhere @Elsawherenow]

What’s the opinion on the confederate flag these days? I even saw confederate flag bikinis

[Elsawhere @Elsawherenow]

@IU4thewin Yes! 🤩

[Elsawhere @Elsawherenow]

We LOVED how towns publicly celebrated and remembered their local heroes

This particular street was in Fairmount, every lawn was perfect and every house looked like it was straight out of a movie 🇺🇸

[Elsawhere @Elsawherenow]

@drillsargeant Yeah I always though it was just a retro fashion thing

[Elsawhere @Elsawherenow]

@neflhimIL Okay interesting thank you!

[Elsawhere @Elsawherenow]

@Hindu9k I loooove this one, feels so classic

[Elsawhere @Elsawherenow]

@briancgreensp Yeah I didn’t want to risk it 🙌🏻

[Elsawhere @Elsawherenow]

@JoshRector5 From what we hear in Europe it’s seen as controversial but I saw it pretty often
