Most importantly—the places and faces you encounter on your journey. And while it’s easy to map out the k’s you’re going to cover, those special ‘pinch me’ moments that happen at each of your pitstops can be a little harder to plan—unless you’re reading this guide, then don’t worry because we’ve got you covered.

The perfect road trip makes the journey the hero. It should be relaxing yet fun, include many detours along the way and plenty of opportunities to get up close and personal with the locals. Oh, and car snacks. Lots of snacks. Surely we can all agree on that one? You should return home with a greasy steering wheel and crumbs stamped into your floor mats. 

It’s been a hot minute but travel is finally back. The hypothetical sabbatical has turned into a reality and we are so ready to book those flights and plan our next wild adventure. 

With interstate travel finally back on the table, we’ve spent the last few weeks scouring the web, trying to nab some next-level accom without breaking the bank. But after flights being grounded for so long, we can’t help but worry about the environmental impact of everyone getting back in the air. Sure, we want to explore every hidden corner of our stunning sunburnt land, but first, we need to work on reducing the toll of our travel lust.
