1. Music/Playlist: “Your mood is likely to change quicker than you think, especially when you get into unlucky situations. So before you even put [your key] in the ignition, ensure that you have at least 30 playlists for the trip. This is also an opportunity to learn the names of new artists. Don’t forget your headphones!”
2. First Aid Kit: “Whether you accidentally cut yourself while gathering wood for a campfire or you have just eaten a wrong snack on the road, first aid kit will come in handy [more] than you think.”
3. GPS: “Your phone’s GPS will be great until you find yourself in No man’s land with no internet or network coverage, and worse a drained battery. So, I don’t recommend using your phone’s GPS. Instead, A GPS like Garmin or TomTom will come in handy when you hit heavy traffic and need to find alternate routes.”
4. Sunglasses: “To protect your eyes from those harmful UV rays. Definitely a must!”
5. Journal: “Bring a journal to jot down your road trip memories. You can even get creative like drawing your favorite moments or print out photos to add them to your journal.”
