A good road trip can be the highlight of a year, or even a lifetime. With some key components: a great car, a bunch of friends, good music and an interesting itinerary, you’re setting yourself up for a very memorable trip. What’s important when planning an awesome road trip? Well, these are my suggestions of what you should keep in mind for the ultimate road trip.
1) Find a Great Car
If you already a car, then you’re sorted for your road trip, but if you’re in the market for a new car why not consider something like the 2015 Mustang, the ultimate road trip car. Finding a car is definitely the first step, you want something comfortable, good on gas and something that’s well maintained and going to be safe for your trip.
2) The Perfect MixTape
While we don’t use mixtapes anymore, it’s important that you find some good music to keep you company on your road trip, especially if you’re traveling longer distances. It can be quite tiring driving for hours and hours on end, but a great soundtrack completely changes the mood.
3) Lots of Water and Snacks
Water is important and often water from gas stations is hideously expensive. Take some from home and take some snacks from home, especially fruit, jerkey and vegetables to ensure you’re maintaining some balance to your diet while you’re away. It can be tempting to make use of every single drive thru you see on your trip, but it’s best to find a balance even if you’re on holiday.
4) A Great Itinerary
Get creative with your itinerary, go somewhere you’ve never been before. Ask friends for suggestions of new places nearby your destination they think you might love. Search on TripAdvisor for popular activities, sites, cafes and restaurant. You’ll be surprised by how much there is to do. Create an itinerary that’s super exciting and allows you to make the most of your road trip.
We’re currently heading towards the end of summer, so please make the most of all these glorious road trip days before they’re long gone.
