2. Sightseeing.

Road trips allow you to adventure wherever you may land, letting you visit a museums, theatres, or other landmarks that let you know more about the places around you.

3. Getting a (small) getaway.

Even if it’s only a weekend road trip, it’s better than the stresses of everyday life. Let yourself live in a mini vacation.

4. The Insta possibilities.

Even if you don’t go very far from home, golden hour will at least allow you to take some pics to post with a new location than normal!

5. Spontaneity creates adventure.

You never know what will happen next on the road, and the next opportunity you take could be a great experience!
