    As a general rule, it’s best to take a break of at least 15 minutes every two hours and to not drive for more than eight hours in a day, to ensure you stay alert and avoid the associated risks of driving for too long without a rest. I really want to try road tripping going cross country. This is very motivational. I will try this after the pandemic!

      Those are good rules of thumb! It’s also helpful if you’re splitting up driving with a partner or friends, too. And I’m glad to hear it — I love going on road trips!

    These are such great tips! I have a trip planned in July and I will come back to this list as I am planning. Avoid rush hour is HUGE. I remember as a kid my family would travel to Busch Gardens each year and each time we would wake up sleepy and annoyed at 4am, but still so excited to get on the road to vacation. This made the trip to smooth I must say!

Ever wondered what it’s like to visit Mars without leaving Earth? 🚀

Welcome to Wadi Rum, Jordan — the red desert wonderland that feels like another planet. 🌌

From racing through the dunes on a 4x4 tour, to sleeping under the stars in a Martian-style tent 🛖✨, to soaring over the landscape in a hot air balloon at sunrise 🎈— this is truly a once-in-a-lifetime adventure.

Add Wadi Rum to your bucket list — you won’t believe it’s real until you see it.

Back in Jordan for the fourth time, and it continues to inspire me just as much as it did on my first visit in 2012! 🐪

Jordan remains one of my all-time favorite destinations thanks to its incredible diversity and rich cultural experiences.

From exploring the ancient city of Petra and floating in the healing waters of the Dead Sea, to discovering the vibrant streets of Amman, sleeping under the stars in the Wadi Rum desert, and scuba diving in the crystal-clear Red Sea in Aqaba—every journey here offers something unforgettable.

One experience I always recommend (and can’t wait to do again) is canyoning the Siq Trail in Wadi Mujib. 

There’s truly no place like Jordan. 🇯🇴✨
