American South, USA

1 itinerary · 0 open departures · 0 missions

The American South is a culturally rich region spanning states such as Louisiana, Tennessee, Georgia, Mississippi, and the Carolinas, shaped by a deep and complex history that continues to define its identity. It's renowned for its contributions to music — blues, jazz, country, and soul all have roots here — with cities like Nashville, Memphis, and New Orleans serving as living landmarks of that legacy. Beyond the music, the South draws visitors with its distinctive cuisine, from Cajun and Creole cooking to barbecue traditions that vary fiercely by state. Travelers come for the historic cities, the landscapes ranging from the Appalachian Mountains to Gulf Coast beaches, and a pace of life and hospitality that sets the region apart.

The American South — Self-Launched Edition

A self-launched, backpacker-paced take on the 14-day Atlanta loop through Charleston, Savannah, Montgomery, Selma, New Orleans, Natchez, Memphis, Nashville and Chattanooga. Instead of a coach and a tour director, you'll use Greyhound/FlixBus and Amtrak's Crescent and City of New Orleans lines, stay in hostels and budget motels, and book the same museums, trolley tours and plantation visits directly or via GetYourGuide/Viator. The civil rights history on the Civil Rights Trail is the heart of this route — much of it is free or under £10. Costs below are rough per-person estimates for a solo traveller sharing a dorm or twin, excluding international flights.

Missions

Nobody's posted a Mission for American South, USA yet — which, frankly, is an opportunity.

Wait, what's a Mission?It's not a scheduled trip with dates and a minimum group size like a Departure — it's a goal. Learn to dive, do a Muay Thai camp, live somewhere for a month and work on something, chase one very specific experience. Post it, and other people chasing the same thing find you.

Be the first to post one: "Eat the strangest thing on the menu every single day for a week and document the regret."
