Welcome to 50 States Before College! We’re a young family on a mission to check out the wonders of the United States before our oldest leaves home in about 10 years.

Here, we share our travel journey through honest blog posts, detailed itineraries, and practical tips and tricks that make family travel easier (and way more fun!).

Our goal is to build community and inspire fellow family travelers like you, showing that adventure is attainable for everyone (even if it’s close to home).

So if you’re someone who wants to travel the US with your family but feel overwhelmed by the idea of how to make it happen, you’re in the right place.

Every trip is a story worth sharing, and we hope you’ll come along for the ride!
