Nathan says: When I go out on a road trip, I like to make sure the journey is just as fun as the final destination. I drive a Toyota Corolla Cross Hybrid which has the most comfortable interior and console.
What’s even better is the great sound system, so you can drive to your favourite tune or in silence looking at the passing landscapes and towns. Coffee is an essential part of the journey, so stopping off at the local cafe is a must before hitting the road nice and early in the morning.
Unexpected stop offs and exploring different towns is a unique way to experience a road trip and it takes you out of the hustle and bustle of the city. The part I enjoy most is the landscapes and how they change over the journey. It’s very inspiring and calming at the same time.
