Why do we travel by car? Eight advantages and three tips
Since we took our first steps as travelers, we have traveled thousands of kilometers and crossed dozens of borders in different ways. Planes, buses, trucks, boats, motorcycles, boats, tuk tuks, trains, combis, and even walking and hitchhiking.
More than two years ago, we bought our first vehicle in order to fit it inside and achieve our dream of traveling the world driving a car. We have already taken the first steps, and we can say without hesitation for a second as we baptized our truck, we have made the best trip of our life.
In this post, we share what, in our opinion, are the main advantages of traveling by car, and we finish with some fundamental tips when going out to roll on the roads. Lyrics for dreamy engine fanatics.

Advantages when traveling by car
1. Hours If the traveler who moves in his own vehicle can value something, it is to be the absolute owner of his own time. We leave and arrive at the time we want, we make stops that are not scheduled, and we deviate from the routes at will. There are no forced waits on the benches of the transport terminals or extreme early mornings so as not to miss the bus. Traveling in their own (or rented) vehicle, the traveler never fights with the clock.
2. Go where others do not go Deviating from established routes, going off the map, taking shortcuts, or taking the longer route to explore other places can make a trip a complete experience. That can be achieved by driving a vehicle.
3. A moving roof You can turn a car into a motor home with good ideas regardless of its size and brand. During the first stage of our trip around the world, more than a hundred nights, we slept inside La Jebi. Some very hot, some very cold, and most of them perfect. If the night or the tiredness arrives earlier than expected, a safe place can be a good place to cook and sleep to continue traveling the next day. In addition, traveling in a car conditioned to sleep means a giant saving in the budget. Do the math and think about how much would you save by sleeping more than a hundred nights in the comfort of your car?
4. Music Is there a better company in travel (and in life itself) than music? Music soothes, relaxes, teaches, and amuses. But it can be a double-edged sword. When it comes to making long trips, bus drivers believe that all passengers enjoy their musical tastes and thunder their songs at full volume. The music will not let us forget the bus trips.
5. More space By far exceeding the luggage capacity that a backpack can hold is also an advantage. In the trunks that we designed for La Jebi, we travel with cleaning supplies, spare parts for the car, clothes for different climates, kitchen utensils and a stove for cooking, photography equipment, board games, chairs, and even a surfboard during a good journey. Of course, we also carry a tent and a couple of backpacks on board. When the trip puts an expedition or hiking on our itinerary, we are always ready to return to backpacking mode.
6. Loneliness Many times the night surprised us on top of a mountain, on a lonely beach or in the square of a remote town with no company other than the sounds of the landscape. Those invaluable moments of intimacy and encounter with ourselves were possible thanks to our choice to travel in our own car.
7. Observe the landscape Traveling by car, we move at the speed of the landscape. We stopped, took photos, and shared meals and talks with the locals. The foot presses on the accelerator depending on our own needs or desire to get (or not get) somewhere.
8. The car introduces you to friends Car introduced us to people who are our great friends today. It was even the beginning of unforgettable travel stories, like the day we were invited to open a hotel just the two of us. Of course, the car must have personality, it must look like a traveling car that attracts attention. The Jebi, for example, is full of stickers with we quit and travel everywhere logos that serve as bait for the curious. Also, the foreign plate makes it an exotic item wherever you go.
Tips when traveling by car
1. Safety first While traveling by car brings with it many advantages, it is also true that it brings inherent risks that must be minimized as much as possible by travelers. Before starting each journey, keep in mind:
• Do preventive mechanics.
• Ask locals about unsafe places not to go.
• Be rested and in optimal health conditions to drive.
And always drive safely. Do not forget that your life is in your hands, that of yours and that of others who circulate on the roads that you travel.
2. Use technology Currently, technology has been put at the service of travelers so that they find facilities when it comes to moving around.
In addition, there is a great variety of technological tools that allow travelers to optimize their trip in time and routes, such as route planners that tell you how many kilometers there are from one point to another, how much gasoline you are going to consume, depending on the cylinder capacity of your motor and how many toll booths are on the road.
3. Check the traffic regulations Each country is autonomous to exercise the rules that drivers must abide by on the roads. Traffic rules can be so changeable from one border to another that an action permitted in one country may be illegal in another. There are cities where your vehicle cannot circulate on a certain day of the week, depending on the license plate number. It is always good to find out about these types of situations before going out to shoot.
We hope these guidelines will encourage you to take that road trip you've been thinking of doing for so long.
