Escaping all of your responsibilities for just a short while is a dream that is held by a great number of people. Being able to drive out on the open road and go wherever fancy takes you can help transport the soul back to its primitive roots. A largely selfish act, the road trip is almost a rite of passage and should be enjoyed to its’ maximum, here are five technologies to help you achieve the greatest road trip of your life, leaving the sim card at home.
Google Music
Every great road trip movie has a classic soundtrack and every classic road trip has been played out to the backing of great music.

Capture these moments with a high-definition camera so you can keep them with you forever. You will be able to share the adventures that you had with friends and family.
Electronic Toiletries
