Our Story
Welcome to Weekend Escapades, where adventure, wanderlust, and the open road come together. We’re a travel and adventure YouTube channel—and now a growing travel brand—dedicated to exploring the hidden, lesser-known places across the United States.
Our passion is discovering what most people drive past. From abandoned places and ghost towns to quiet backroad communities and overlooked small towns, Weekend Escapades is all about authentic exploration. We believe the real stories of America live off the highway, waiting to be found.
We travel full of curiosity and freedom in our adventure van and RV, embracing the van life and RV travel lifestyle to reach remote destinations and spontaneous weekend getaways. Whether it’s a desert ghost town, a forgotten mining site, or a scenic town few have heard of, we go where the road leads—sometimes paved, sometimes not.
Weekend Escapades was created for travelers, explorers, and adventure seekers who love the thrill of discovery. Our journeys showcase U.S. travel, road trips, outdoor exploration, history, and adventure travel, all while highlighting the beauty and diversity of America’s landscapes.
We love the USA, its stories, and the freedom of exploring it one mile at a time. Our goal is to inspire you to wander more, explore deeper, and embrace adventure, even if you only have a weekend.
If you love van life travel, RV adventures, ghost town exploration, abandoned places, road trips, and off-the-beaten-path destinations, you’re in the right place.
Adventure starts here. Welcome to Weekend Escapades.
Adventure Starts Here
At Weekend Escapades, we travel the backroads of the USA to uncover hidden stories, forgotten places, and unforgettable adventures. From ghost towns and abandoned locations to lesser-known small towns, we explore where history still lingers. Traveling by van and RV, we embrace the freedom of the open road to bring our viewers authentic travel experiences rooted in adventure, exploration, and American history. Our goal is to create high-quality content that not only inspires wanderlust but also educates—sharing the history, culture, and stories behind every destination. We believe the best adventures happen off the beaten path, and we’re excited to bring them to you.
