Route1Views is a
RECEIVER and an AMPLIFIER
Every day, R1V curators research and visit places along Route 1, filtering through many “signals”, discerning the “channels” we want to tune into, so that we can amplify them for our travelers. We strive to avoid political bias while welcoming all opinions that are founded in facts. Your help in this journey, dear travelers, is valued. We are listening! Please join hands with us, join our circle, and tell us where you want to travel.
