Ep. 06 | Solo: How much of the United States can you actually see without a car? Do you really need a car to travel the United States?

This episode is for you if you hate driving or can't drive!

I’ve traveled to 40 states without a driver’s license, and in this special solo episode of Unlock Black Journeys: The Podcast, I’m sharing how I travel the U.S. without a car.

If you’ve ever wondered how to travel without a car, how to get around if you don’t have a car, or what you can use instead of a car, this episode is for you. I’m breaking down the car-free travel strategies that have helped me explore 40 states, including trains and buses, public transportation, rideshares, walking, guided tours, and help from friends.

Inspired by my recent experience at the All Fifty Club Convention, I’m sharing what I’ve learned from years of traveling across the country without driving.
