Southwest Adventures

Come with me as I explore the Southwest, from Ghost Towns to Historic Landmarks
We will make this worth while!

What is Roam with Matt?

Roam with Matt is a digital tribute to the restless spirit of the American Southwest—where every road trip isn’t just a route but a story unfolding across mesas, deserts, and sun-bleached highway shoulders. It’s a dashboard, a travel log, and a creative playground designed to capture the pulse of wide-open freedom: dusty ghost towns with leaning saloons and forgotten histories, neon signs flickering over roadside curiosities, and the quiet poetry of weather rolling in over empty stretches of road. With map-driven modules, real-time weather overlays, and storytelling tools, it’s a space where vintage adventure meets modern interactivity.

But Roam with Matt is more than a travel tool—it’s a mythic lens into Americana’s peculiar soul. Whether you’re syncing a journey through UFO hotspots in New Mexico, tracking storms over Arizona’s painted deserts, or discovering sculpture gardens on a forgotten backroad in Texas, RWM offers both practical navigation and playful discovery. It’s built for wanderers who believe roadside oddities and long-lost legends belong in the same itinerary as national parks and local diners. The result? A dashboard that feels alive—curated by curiosity, powered by data, and guided by the sheer joy of roaming.

Some people travel to find themselves. I travel to misplace my phone, wallet, and dignity in three different time zones.
