Southern USA (Nashville to New Orleans)

1 itinerary · 0 open departures · 0 missions

The Southern USA corridor stretching from Nashville, Tennessee to New Orleans, Louisiana is one of America's most culturally rich road trip routes, cutting through the heart of the Deep South. Nashville draws visitors with its legendary country music scene, honky-tonks on Broadway, and the historic Grand Ole Opry, while the journey south passes through blues country and the Mississippi Delta. New Orleans anchors the route with its unique Creole and Cajun culture, vibrant French Quarter, world-renowned jazz heritage, and legendary food scene. Travellers are drawn to this stretch for live music, Southern cuisine, Civil Rights history, and an atmosphere unlike anywhere else in the United States.

Tastes and Sounds of the South — Self-Launched

A self-launched take on Trafalgar's 10-day music-and-food trail from Nashville to New Orleans. You'll hit the same landmarks — RCA Studio B, Country Music Hall of Fame, the Grand Ole Opry, Beale Street, the National Civil Rights Museum, Graceland, Sun Studio, Memphis Rock 'n' Soul Museum, a Mississippi plantation, and New Orleans' City Park and above-ground cemeteries — but independently: hostel or budget-hotel beds, self-booked museum tickets and music-venue shows, and the Greyhound/Amtrak/local bus network instead of a coach. Note that this is the USA, so costs are markedly higher than Asia or Latin America rates — budget £175–205 per day including accommodation, food, transport and entry tickets. Flights to/from the US and travel insurance are excluded.

Missions

Nobody's posted a Mission for Southern USA (Nashville to New Orleans) 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: "Learn the first 20 seconds of a local dance, then perform it, uninvited, at every bar you visit."
