Road trip – a way to reinvent yourself

In the struggle of meddling between life and job, we always forget to know ourselves, to rewind and relax. When some find solace in finding new hobbies or picking up old hobbies from where it was left, some of us truly enjoy taking a quiet long drive. More and more travel enthusiasts are taking road trips to explore the world. Even though it’s a fun mode of exploration, travel by road always is time-consuming. Hence, it's always better to plan consciously before one starts the journey.

Route & Destination

Planning your route in advance is crucial for a successful road trip. While using GPS is convenient, it's wise to also carry a physical map to handle any potential emergencies. Noting down places/ towns other than the final destination to explore on the way lets you take in maximum out of the trip. Always be aware of an alternate route, road and weather conditions to avoid any traffic on the way.

Vehicle Preparation

Comfort is key to an enjoyable road trip, and your vehicle is your trusty companion. Before setting out, it's essential to check your vehicle's condition, including the oil, brakes, and lights. Always carry a spare tyre, jack, and basic tool kit. Familiarizing yourself with roadside assistance services and nearby service centres can provide extra confidence and peace of mind on your journey.

Safety Essentials

Planning your stops and accommodations in advance ensures hassle-free rest periods during your journey. Sharing driving duties and taking regular breaks can help reduce fatigue. Adhering to driving rules and respecting local regulations is crucial for a peaceful trip. For added safety, carry an emergency kit, non-perishable food items, power banks, and flashlights. Amidst all these preparations, remember to enjoy some good music or a captivating audiobook.

Budget

Pre-calculating a budget and analyzing probable fuel cost, lodging and food expenses would cut a crease for you. Always have some cash in your hand for places that do not accept ATM cards. Tracking your spending immediately would let you stay within budget.
