Road trips are the best! There is nothing like jumping in the car and listing to your favourite music as you stick you hand out the window and feel the wind push against it. As an expert road tripper, I have created this guide to help you have the best road trip ever.
I have been on some amazing road trips all around the world, and each of them has been special. Some of my favourite roads were from Toronto to Monterrey, Cairns to Gold Coast, Toronto to Tofino, and from Bangkok to Chiang Mai.
Not only are road trips super fun but they are also great ways to explore the area around you and go on an adventure without spending billions of dollars (unless you want to.)
Also, a great way to have a fun vacation at home, or a staycation, is by going on a road trip. No matter where you live, there is beauty and adventure around you, so why not hop in your car, your friend’s car, or your mom’s car and explore somewhere new! Here are my top tips to help you have the best road trip ever.
Ps. please share your adventures with me! I love talking travel, so if you are going on a road trip, let me know. DM me on Instagram – I genuinely would love to hear about your adventure.
Top Tips To Help You Have The Best Road Trip Ever
Create A Dope Playlist
What you listen to while you are on a road trip can make or break the trip. While on a road trip you are going to be in the car for a while and having some form of entrainment can be nice, especially if you are driving and everyone else has fallen asleep. Before you leave home make a playlist of your favourite songs, and karaoke classics on your phone that you can listen to and sing to. Pro tip: You don’t just have to listen to music. I love listening to audiobooks, comedy specials and podcasts while on the open road.
Drive With People You Get Along With
Being stuck in a car with people you don’t get along with is the worst. The best way to avoid arguments, awkwardness and the potential of having a bad time, is to go on road trips with people that you know you get along with. Go with your best friends, your lover or a family member.
Bring Snacks
What is the one thing every road trip needs? SNACKS! Before you leave for your road trip make sure you stop and grab some snacks. Grab your favourite snacks, but remember to make sure that they are easy to eat in the car. While you are on your journey make sure to stop and replenish your supply. Pro tip: bring napkins!
Know Where You Are Going
Don’t get me wrong I love being spontaneous and free, but I find that in order to maximize fun on any road trip it is a good idea to have at least one person who knows the final destination or that has some idea of the cool places to stop along the way. Do some research before and make a flexible plan so that you don’t miss any cool sites and attractions that you want to see on your road trip.
I hope these tips help you to have the best road trips every time you jump in the car. Happy travels and drive safe babes.
