The #1 road trip planning app joined the WE tv lifestyle series to share how millions of travelers are rediscovering the journey-not just the destination
CINCINNATI, OH / ACCESS Newswire / May 6, 2026 / Roadtrippers, the #1 road trip planning app, was recently featured in a national in-studio interview on Life+Leisure with Bill and Giuliana Rancic, the lifestyle series airing on WE tv and Bloomberg International.
The segment brought together three Roadtrippers leaders behind the product travelers love: the Director of Product, the Customer Experience specialist, and the Head of Marketing. Together, they explored how Roadtrippers is redefining what a road trip can be-and why, more than a decade in, the road trip is experiencing its biggest cultural moment yet.
"Roadtrippers was built on a belief that the best parts of travel happen in the in-between-the unplanned detour, the overlook no one told you about, the small-town stop that ends up being the story you tell for years," said Mary Heneen, CEO of Roadtrippers. "Being featured on Life+Leisure was a meaningful platform to share that philosophy with a national audience. Bill and Giuliana have built a brand around living life with intention, and that's exactly what we're trying to give travelers-a way to slow down, look up, and find the moments that make a journey worth remembering."
Inside the segment
The conversation explored what's driving Roadtrippers' growth-and why travelers are choosing this platform to plan their most meaningful trips:
Extraordinary Places, Roadtrippers' hand-picked, field-tested collection of stops curated by the team itself-not scraped, not algorithmic. If a place is featured, someone from Roadtrippers has actually been there, taken notes, and made the case for why it's worth the detour.
Roadtrippers Autopilot, trip-planning engine that automagically surfaces the most relevant, road-tested stops along any route-powered by 42 million trips taken by real users.
A curated database of 7+ million points of interest, from national parks to roadside oddities, built by travelers, for travelers.
Built for the open road and the people who live on it: RV-safe routing, offline maps, campground insights, and booking tools that have made Roadtrippers the category leader for RV travelers.
Why this matters now
Founded in 2011, Roadtrippers was built on a contrarian premise: travel shouldn't be optimized-it should be experienced. More than a decade later, that idea is finding its audience. Americans are rediscovering domestic travel, RV ownership continues to climb, and travelers are gravitating toward slower, more intentional journeys over checked-box itineraries. Roadtrippers sits squarely at the intersection of those shifts-offering the planning, navigation, and discovery layer purpose-built for the way people actually want to travel today.
The Life+Leisure feature comes as Roadtrippers continues to expand its product across web and mobile-reinforcing its position as the planning platform for the modern American road trip.
