Although the meaning of life was not answered this time around, I did crack the code to a few road trip survival tips that are universal in application. I hope you can use them to ensure nothing but an open road to fabulous adventures.
{stop. shoot. repeat} It's okay to let time slip away. Make impromptu stops to capture moments of beauty. Because once you pass and pass on it, it's gone forever.
I took The Honest Co. Immunity Defense vitamins daily as it's formulated with all-natural ingredients to promote wellness when under physical stress. Typically, I get sick after traveling for more than two weeks but this time around, I feel energized and healthy even after a month on the road.
Plop a seat at a rooftop bar or restaurant and enjoy panoramic aerial views of the city. Bask in the sights while taking notes on cool sites you'd like to visit.
Go where the locals go to soak up the city's authentic flavor and culture. When in Portland, we spent Saturday morning watching the Grand Rose parade, shopping at the Saturday Market, and making friends along the way!
Every trip, I pack running/hiking shoes, workout clothes, and sunscreen so that I'm ready at a moment's notice for a sunrise hike, a twilight run, a bike tour, or even an afternoon game of ping pong. A generous daily slathering of The Honest Co. waterproof SPF 30 sunscreen provided sun protection while keeping a tan at bay. I love that it's fragrance-free, non-whitening, and made with natural ingredients.
{eat. a lot}
Because anything you consume in a different area code, much like eating "mini" anything, is devoid of calories.
Toothpaste is the one item I always forget to pack. But not anymore! I keep my travel size The Honest Co. toothpaste in my toiletry bag. Its convenient size makes it easy to brush my teeth anytime, anywhere.
Self-explanatory.
