Travel plans can take unexpected turns, and in today’s video, we hit a major roadblock—an expired passport just months before our big trip! 😱 Watch as we navigate this travel dilemma and share some important lessons along the way.
But that’s not all—we also discuss a game-changing update for content creators filming in National Parks! 🎥 Thanks to the EXPLORE Act, low-impact content creators like us no longer need a filming permit on federal lands. This is a huge win for outdoor storytellers and adventurers! 🌲🏕️
In this episode, we also cover:
✅ Important hotel security tips (Are those room safes really safe?) 🏨🔑
✅ The benefits of the new digital key card systems 🔐
✅ Why making photocopies of important travel documents is a must 🛂📄
✅ A deep dive into the human drive for adventure—why do we explore? 🚀🌍

We are passionate adventurers with a shared love for the open road, the thrill of exploration, and the beauty of the landscape. Living in coastal Virginia, we embrace the freedom of travel, often purposefully seeking to venture off the beaten path. Our journey, aptly named Asphalt Odyssey, is a testament to our wanderlust and our desire to experience the world from the comfort of our trusty vehicles: a Toyota 4Runner and a Can-Am Spyder RT.
Having traveled extensively across the United States, from the corners of our great nation to the heart of Québec Province in Canada, our adventures are defined by a spirit of curiosity. We prioritize the road less traveled, seeking out National Parks, wide open spaces, and hidden gems. As empty nesters, we embrace this new phase of life by turning our attention to the open road and all the possibilities it brings. Our motto, “All roads lead to another road,” perfectly encapsulates this approach to life and travel—one of discovery, challenges, and memories. For us, the journey is just as important as the destination, and we cherish every mile we travel together and the human connections we make along the way.
Through our Asphalt Odyssey videos, we hope to share not only our adventures, but also our philosophy of celebrating the freedom to explore, the joy of being present in the moment, and the beauty of our world. Our journey is about more than just the miles driven; it’s about finding the extraordinary in the everyday, discovering new perspectives with every new road we take and connecting with other adventure-minded travelers.
