A High School Student's 73-Day U.S. and Canada Travel Diary
A High School Student's 73-Day U.S. and Canada Travel Diary
Description
Book Introduction
At the Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial
To Colonial Williamsburg

A high school student with his father
73-Day North American Road Trip

This book is an observational diary of a high school freshman who experienced cultural diversity while traveling in the United States and Canada.
The book meticulously documents the author's 26,000-kilometer journey, beginning in the American Southwest and continuing through western Canada, the American North Central, eastern Canada, and the eastern United States. The travel route is marked with a map and vivid photos are included at each destination, allowing readers to experience the author's journey through North America with him.
I hope this book, which contains my experiences visiting major cities like New York, Chicago, and Los Angeles, as well as the headquarters of global companies like Microsoft, Intel, and Boeing, and my special experience of driving across the border from the U.S. to Canada and back, will become a space for readers to share their experiences and empathy.
