A vacation can be expensive, but going on a road trip you can still see the sites while enjoying the ride for less. So, this summer grab a friend or two, because face it we all have those friends who need a break, and hop in the car. Pick a random destination or go visit a friend. But, honestly you really need this.

1. Change of Scenery

We all need to get out of our comfort zone and explore new places. There's no better way to do this than singing in the car with our friends as we let the world fly by us.

2. Lifelong Memories

You'll never forget that moment you start racing those cute guys down the highway or getting completely lost then stumbling into that bar where you start singing karaoke crazily. After all, you need something to tell your grandkids about.

3. Bonding

Sometimes you lose track of friends and it's a great way to reconnect. Or, if you're going with a friend you see all the time, you're still in for a great time.

4. Fun

It's the summertime, and frankly, it can get pretty busy with work and then you realize it's basically the same as the school year anyway. You seriously need a break where you can let your hair done and just get your funk on.

5. The Destination

It's not always about the destination, but about the memories you make along the way. But, it would be pretty cool to say you've been all over the country.

6. The People You Meet

Believe it or not, but going on the road you can meet some really interesting people from all over. It's a great opportunity to really widen your horizons.

7. What You See

While some road trips seem to be an endless highway filled with corn on either side of you, others have exciting stops along the way. From the World's Largest Truck Stop to the St. Louis Arch, you'll never know what you'll run into until you get there. And, believe me, it's worth it.

8. You, Your Friends, Music, and the Highway

Think about it, when do you have an opportunity to just listen to music for hour upon hour on end? It's the perfect time for a jam out session. Oh, and you might want to start with the song "Life is a Highway."

9. It's An Adventure

Literally everything you do is an adventure.

10. Be Spontaneous

Never knowing exactly what you're doing or what you'll see on the way, makes for random stops and exciting new places. There's nothing more spontaneous than trying that small diner on the side of the highway.

11. The Experience

Whether you're a workaholic or crazy partier, in the end this road trip is all about the experience and what you make of it. So you might as well go and make something big of this. What are you waiting for? Go ahead!
