Hi lovelies,

Arranging the perfect road trip can be such a fun and exciting adventure, as you can hit the open road with your loved ones to experience everything the world has to offer. However, taking the time to plan out the best road trip can be a little tricky, especially if you’ve never had the chance to go on such a trip before. Thankfully this guide contains some of the best steps that you can follow to arrange the most amazing road trip ever, and it truly could not be easier to begin your planning efforts today. 

So, what are you waiting for? Read on to discover more! 

Choose The Right Route 
It’s absolutely vital that you choose the right route if you want to enjoy an amazing road trip. Your intended route can either make or break your vacation, as you could end up falling victim to a whole host of different issues and dangers that could have otherwise been avoided with a little forward thinking. 

First, decide how long you want your trip to be. If you want to take a week-long trip, then your last destination (that’s furthest away) should be no more than 3 days away - you must not forget to factor in your return journey! It has to be said that a lot of new road trippers end up setting their sights too high, presuming they have the time to travel much further than they really do. So, make sure that you can be a little more realistic with your timescales so that you can enjoy your trip without having to rush. 

Now, you need to make sure you have all of the necessary spaces on the way that you can utilize to stop over and spend the night. It’s unlikely you’re going to want to park your vehicle at the side of a random dirt road when you’re traveling, as this isn’t the safest option to say the least. Instead, find a dedicated camping spot, RV park or other similar facilities that you can make the most of during your stay. 

Pack Heavy
Another key step that you should follow is to pack heavy. You’re going to need a long list of different things when you’re enjoying a road trip, especially if you want to go somewhere rural where you might not be able to access a grocery store or other similar shop. 

Food and drink should be your main priority. You never know what situation you could find yourselves in, and running out of food very quickly could be a huge danger. Choose preserved and dried foods, as they don’t need to be refrigerated and shouldn’t go off anytime soon.

Don’t forget about survival gear too. Pack a variety of thick blankets that can help to keep you nice and toasty if the temperature drops. Bring a few firelighters as well as some cooking equipment, as you can then make a campfire and cook hot food outside. Don’t forget your torch and some spare batteries, too!
