This summer, rather than heading over to a fancy hotel on a luxurious seat in first class, stick to the open road. Let the tarmac stretch out in front of you as you head for the coast and the ocean waves. Or inwards to catch all the sights and experiences this beautiful country has to offer. Before you ask why let me ask you another question. Why ever not? You have to admit there is something remarkably brilliant about hopping in your car and driving as far as your petrol tank will take you. Pack a few things in your luggage and away you go. No waits for the planes, no hot, stuffy lounges and absolutely no delays. This summer you’re going to live the vacation you want. Although if you’re stuck for where to start, we’ve got some tips.
Choose Your Ride
Your first decision is an important one. You need to decide what vehicle you’re going to take on this road trip. Obviously, if you are talking people with you, you’re going to need a car. But if you’re flying solo you could hit the highway on your motorbike. But that’s going to limit how much you can take and how far you can go. So, let’s compromise. You can take both! If you get a kendon Motorcycle trailer that stands up, you’ll be able to drive your car with your motorbike pulled behind. Once you reach a destination park and lock the car. Then you can explore the open roads on your bike. There are some gorgeous, sweeping curved roads roaming mountains and hills if you’re adventurous enough to find them. They’re perfect for those fast turns you love to try on your bike.
Plan Your Stays
Just because you’re going on a road trip, that doesn’t mean you have to avoid the hotels completely. In fact, we suggest that you book a line of hotels to visit. One at each place you’re going to stop at on your journey. These could be luxury stays. Or, if you want to save some cash for other experiences, you can always hang out in hostels. They’re perfect for the traveller that wants a little more adventure when they’re out on the roads. You’ll meet some new people and share experiences. Who knows, you might even meet someone you can take a long for the rest of the ride.
Extreme Adventure
You’ve already got your motorbike but what other extreme adventures are you going to try on this adventure. How about base jumping? Base jumping is incredibly fun and wonderfully dangerous. You will have seen it done in almost every action film you can think of. Base jumping is essentially jumping off a low building or cliff face with a parachute and landing. Preferably without breaking your neck. If you want to learn this awesome adventure sport, then you need to research where you’re going. But we guarantee there will be a place teaching this activity somewhere. Some even allow you to wear wingsuits and that’s the closest you’ll get to flying like a bird.
You see, a road trip this year is the coolest idea for a holiday you could imagine. The possibilities are endless and once you start the journey, you’ll never look back.
