Who doesn’t love a great road trip? Just you, your closest friends and family, the ultimate playlist and the open road with only one thing in mind: adventure. With warmer weather just around the corner, it’s only right that you start thinking hitting the highway.
Sure, you could purchase a plane or train ticket and get to your destination in half the time, but where’s the fun in that? Here are a few reasons why road trips are the best!
1. It’s the perfect time to bond with your family and friends
What better way to get to know your friends and family on a deeper level? On the road, you’ll have the chance to engage in long, meaningful conversations with your loved ones. Hit play on your old-school playlist, stir up nostalgia and get ready to talk about funny and embarrassing memories for hours. The best part? You’ll get to create new stories along the way!
2. There’s no pressure to stick to an itinerary
Without a set plan, there’s no strict schedule to follow and no deadlines to make. Where else can you get away with losing track of time other than a road trip? Try a new restaurant, stop at a local museum or book a last-minute hotel in a new city and explore. You’ll turn your drive into a trip within itself.
3. Perfect time to snap cool photos
A road trip is the perfect time to put your photographer skills to the test. No matter what state you’re driving through, the scenery is always absolutely gorgeous. Whether you’re driving through the mountains, plains, or the city, take some time to enjoy the scenery and snap away. Your followers will thank you!
4. Road trips are economical
Believe it or not, road trips can be super easy on your pocketbook. Taking a road trip eliminates having to deal with the prices of airline or train tickets. Plus, you and your friends can split the cost on gas, snacks and hotel rooms.
5. Road trips are unpredictable
Let’s face it; we love a good adventure with a dollop of mystery. A road trip will feed your impulsive and creative personality. It’s unpredictable, ripe for making memories and exciting. Best of all, the destination is in your hands.
So, what are you waiting for? Gather your best friends, curate your favorite playlist and hit the road!
