Road Trips

A road trip is that perfect opportunity to forget all your worries and make memories along the way.  

Whether it’s the first time you’re heading out on the open road for an extended period of time, or you’ve planned a few adventures before—these ten tips are essential for any road tripper!

First things first, your road trip doesn’t have to go in a straight line to the end/turn-around point! While zig-zagging on the map might not necessarily be the fastest route, it’s about the journey along the way and not the destination, right?

Oftentimes the road less traveled has more interesting things to see or unique spots.

When I’m planning a road trip itinerary, I like to have some “anchor stops” along the way and then have a bit more freedom in between—in case I come across a cool recommendation from locals or something that is just too good not to miss!

Road tripping is one of the best options to spend some time with your close ones and also get close to nature. If you like to travel via a road trip, you can explore many places. Just pick up your car, pack up your bag and go on a trip and see where roads will take you.

First of all—how many days do you have set aside for your road trip? How long do you want to be driving between each place? What’s the max amount of time you want between where you leave and where you’re staying for the night? These are all major things to consider!

On top of that, take into account when and where rush hour traffic will occur (both in the morning and evening), and either find an alternate route or try not to be on the road during those times.

Schedule in a bit of extra time for unexpected stops along the way—be they fun detours, diners, or mishaps. For the in-between driving time, sometimes it’s good to not plan out too much—you might find quirky things along the way!
