Some travellers do in-depth research on where they are going, all the sites they want to see in those areas and plan their trip around them. I do very little research. Is this good or bad? I am not sure but that is how I hit the road.
Knowing I would be heading through North Dakota, South Dakota, Nebraska, Kansas and Oklahoma I did a few google searches. I had not travelled these states before so I looked up the major sites to visit. I now had a short list of places I wanted to check out. My searches mainly concentrated on the National Parks, which always have stunning views and I can learn about their history.
Stopping at a visitor’s centre when entering a new state is my “go to” way to decide on what to see. Information from locals will usually get me to some cool and unexpected sites. I probably would never have found them even with a little more research so I rely on these professionals.
