1) Pump up the music
A road trip without music…is that even a thing? But, deciding on the perfect playlist is harder than climbing the Himalayas. Every friend may have different tastes! Thankfully, you can always mix it up with genres while on the road.
Begin with a cult trip down memory lane, playing classic rock hits like Life is a Highway by Tom Cochrane, Don't Stop Believin' by Journey or Baba O’Riley by The Who. Switch gears by blasting feel good anthems like Shut Up and Dance by Walk the Moon, Uptown Funk by Bruno Mars, Happy by Pharrell Williams and Unstoppable by Sia. Finally, slide into hip-hop bangers like Big Dawgs by Hanumankind and Born Superstar by Raja Kumari. Ask your mates for suggestions too, the more, the merrier!
2) Step it up with audio series
