Holidaying is a part of life. Earlier travelling was only connected with business or trade and pilgrimage or visiting relatives. But today the concept of travelling is very closely associated with holidaying and with this emerged many options, right from customized tours to impromptu road trips, short vacations to a week end gateway to long planned holidays aboard. Here let’s see why one should opt for a road trip over any other vacation type.
a. It allows you the much needed flexibility and convenience. Taking a operated tour will keep you stuck to clock and tightly drawn itinerary, leaving very less space for personal choices. No matter they try to include as many attractions as possible, but this does not really serve the purpose of spending some quality time together and enjoying vacation together. It rewards you with same routinely life you are already living but in different location. In a road trip, you are in charge of every detail. You have the freedom to decide the direction, speed and destination with your convenience and mood.
b. In a scheduled tour you may visit many tourist attractions but the real flavour of that particular place cannot be enjoyed. You need to spend more time and explore the destination you are visiting in order to actually soak into its flavour and know the culture well. By-lanes, local restaurants, various monuments display the culture and heritage of a place. It is not possible to experience the whole new place in a very short period, so staying on for long and exploring the place is the key to decipher the beauty and culture of destination you have chosen. A road trip with its relaxed schedule allows you just this.
c. You also get to know different traffic rules, understand toll systems and road network, and prep your vehicle as per your destination. In case you are travelling to a foreign country then there are many aspect you must look at and prepare. Such as fixing winter tires to your vehicle in case you are travelling to any European countries during October to March. It is mandatory to derive a car or SUV with suv winter tires during this period in many countries in the world. Updating your insurance, international driver’s license etc also adds much information to your mind.
Evolves you as a person. A road trip is not always a cake walk, you are thrown many surprises as well as problem situations. How well you handle them and get out of them without losing the vacation temperament is the key to success. This helps you to emerge as a stronger person.
