Benny’s last big US road trip

In this episode, I'm coming to you from beautiful Colorado — my 45th U.S. state! I dive into what might be my final big American road trip as I push to complete a long-time goal: visiting all 48 contiguous U.S. states. I talk about how this journey ties into my current language mission with American Sign Language (ASL), and how I've used everything from book tours to long-term stays and my green card to explore the country over the years. I'm lucky to have this chance, especially as a non-American, to see so many vastly different parts of the U.S., from geography to local culture. I also share my upcoming stops — Iowa, Minnesota, Wisconsin (where I’ll stay a whole month), and Michigan — before wrapping up in Texas.

I also open up about why this might be my last big U.S. road trip: the rising cost of living and other factors are making it less practical to stay long-term, even though I’m a green card holder. I’ve been taking advantage of special travel permits to live abroad for stretches of time, and I might ultimately give up my residency in a few years. So now’s the moment to make this travel dream a reality. Alongside all the exploring and ASL immersion, I’m keeping my health in check by running every day and signing up for races. I’m excited to share this phase of my journey with you — one that blends language learning, travel goals, and some honest reflection about where I might be headed next.
