About this listen

In this episode of "Sleepless in Singapore," I recount the first epic road trip through the United States with my friend Markus in 2022. Our journey began in King of Prussia, Pennsylvania, where Markus lives, and we mapped out an ambitious route that took us from Philadelphia down to New Orleans, then along the southern and eastern coast and back up to Pennsylvania. The adventure kicked off with the longest flight in the world from Singapore to New York, followed by a quick train ride to Philadelphia. With Markus's 470-horsepower Mustang, we set out on our American odyssey, starting with a hearty diner breakfast and a visit to George Washington's Mount Vernon. Driving along the scenic Blue Ridge Mountain Parkway, we soaked in the breathtaking views, stayed in rustic cabins, and indulged in local delicacies like Philadelphia cheesesteak and grits with butter. The journey was a blend of serene landscapes and quintessential American experiences, from flying drones in the park to navigating through small towns with sketchy motels. Each day was a new chapter, filled with exploration, and the simple joy of the open road. As we ventured through Tennessee, Alabama, and beyond, the road trip became a tapestry of unforgettable moments that captured the essence of a true American adventure.
