You really do not want your car to break down while you are enjoying yourself on the road, especially not on the highway. It will be incredibly troublesome as you will need to look for a workshop in a unfamiliar region. Moreover, you will be eating into your travelling budget and you may not bring enough cash then.

3. Don’t be hang up on your plans

I may sound contradictory but I am actually not. Yes, it is important to have plans but remember to let loose and just enjoy yourself. Flexibility it key. When things are not as smooth, don’t worry, just take it slow and enjoy whatever fate presents. Don’t be too uptight about completing your itinerary as it defeats the point of a road trip where the main purpose is to be carefree. Enjoy your freedom!

4. Have a working GPS

You really do not want to get lost in a foreign land. If you can’t find one, you can use access Google Map on your phone, however, do remember that you need to have internet connection by obtaining mobile date in order to use Google Map. The least you should have should be a physical map.

5. FOOOOOOOD
