The definition of a road trip is a 'journey on roads'. One of the earliest recorded road trips was in 1907, the Pecking to Paris road race. Today road trips are vastly popular and can take place almost anywhere. Whatever your route, all road trips result in a journey including stories for life, hilarious photos, too many sweets/alcohol and usually one of the most memorable times of your life. Every road trip is unique, but here are some that i have either done, will do or hope to do in the future!
AMERICA
When i was younger me and my parents did two very different road trips, New York to Boston and Las Vegas to Los Angeles. Both very different, but amazing in their own unique ways. New York to Boston included trying to navigate ourselves out of new york, boat trips in New England and using the pool of a posh hotel next door to our questionable motel! Las Vegas to LA saw us take in a vast expanse of desert that's magical and scary at the same time. Stopping off at Santa Barbra and San Luis Obispo brings you back to reality (well a high class reality!). DREAM ROUTE - route 66 of course!

AUSTRALIA
This September to December, we will be travelling between Cairns and Melbourne - although on a bus rather than a car i still think it counts as a road trip! I can't wait to visit the cities including Sydney and Brisbane but also the chilled out paradise of the islands and sunshine coast. The ultimate chilled out, sunshine and cosmopolitan road trip.

EUROPE
I've done a fair few french road trips in my time including lots of french bread, cheese and attempts at speaking french. While i think a french road trip is a must, it's so easy to explore the whole of Europe in a car - no need to stick to one country. A little closer to home, me and some friends have done a few summer road trips to wales which has also provided endless excitement and memories and a cheap alternative. DREAM ROUTE - Italy, South of France and Spain.
Go get a map and start planning your road trip now. The possibilities are endless! HX
