Road Trips – They’re The Best!

I just came back from a glorious road trip to Seattle, complete with a Sex Pistols sing-along in the car, a rockin’ Loaded show in Capitol Hill and an epic attempt at siphoning gas out of our own tank (don’t ask!)

If this post sounds more rambling than usual, that may be due to lack of sleep, residual giddiness at seeing one of my favourite musicians on stage again after a 17-year wait (!), or the overall feeling of adventure and lightheartedness that, to me, goes hand-in-hand with a road trip.

If you’re suffering from the dreaded expat slump, if you want to expand your horizons or if you just need something to put a bit of excitement back in your life, pick a destination, hop in the car and go on an adventure!

Road trips are a fantastic way to create lasting memories of your host country. You’ll fondly remember them years after you’ve moved on to your next assignment. And if you’re settled for the long haul, there’s nothing like a little jaunt to a nearby region – or country! – to remind yourself why you became an expat in the first place. Give yourself a rejuvenating shot of travel, discovery and anticipation!

Have a safe drive, and don’t forget to pack good music for the road…
