Скачать или смотреть Driving Through Iowa Changed My View of Rural America | Solo Road Trip Reflections

I took a solo road trip through northern Iowa and discovered a side of rural America I didn’t expect. From picture-perfect farms and rolling hills to the cultural divide that shapes how we see the world, this stretch of the Heartland left me reflecting deeply on home, values, and identity.

In this video, I share what I saw, what I felt, and why this part of the country surprised me so much. This isn’t the rural life I grew up with in North Carolina—it’s something different, and it taught me something important.

Toward the end, I visit the historic site of the 1959 plane crash that took the lives of Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens, and the Big Bopper, and I stop by the Surf Ballroom in Clear Lake, Iowa—the last place they performed.

📍 Locations visited: Northern Iowa countryside, Clear Lake, Surf Ballroom, Buddy Holly crash site
🎥 Topics: solo female travel, rural America, cultural perspective, midlife reflection, road trip documentary
