HOW TO SLAY YOUR FIRST DIY ROAD TRIP THROUGH PERTH

Sometimes the best adventures are designed from the heart. So if you are planning to make your first D-I-Y trip, consider travelling around Perth for an awesome DIY road trip! Perth is perfect for people who want to do their own thing as they explore the city. Traffic is relatively low so you can hire a car and make the most of your time. Below I have listed tips on how you can slay your first DIY road trip. So, let’s get started!

DESIGN A PERFECT GETAWAY

The only thing that might be a drawback for beginners of DIY trips is that they require a lot of planning. From your itinerary up to the accommodation, you have to look for the best possible options available. However, this can also add a thrill to your trip because you are in control of everything you do and visit during the trip. All you have to do is design your perfect getaway by listing all the cities you want to visit and if possible, where you can eat and stay along the way. This is highly advisable for budget travellers because you can choose the cheapest yet most stylish lodging available within your budget. 

PACK WITH CONVENIENCE

What would the weather be like in Perth? Is it cold or sunny? Knowing this will help you find a more practical outfit for Perth. The capital of Western Australia is home to picturesque beaches so you better get your sunnies and swimwear ready. Make sure to pack laid-back outfits and casual attire for when you roam around parks, cultural centres and markets for fresh produce; grab some delicious bites as you drive and wander around Perth. Of course, don’t forget to bring your camera- you wouldn’t want to miss the chance to take a snap of this wonderful city. 

WI-FI CONNECTIVITY IS A MUST

In this era of modern technology, Wi-Fi connectivity is necessary. From sharing your photos with the world to keeping up communication with your loved ones on your DIY road trip, you’ll need Wi-Fi! So make sure you add an international plan with data to your current phone plan or buy a pay as you go phone with a good data package. You will also want to be able to use Wi-Fi to run your GPS to avoid getting lost and get to your destination easily!

CHOOSE THE RIGHT CAR HIRE

Self-drive is the best way to travel in Perth because you have the freedom to explore the city at your own pace. In this way, you need not worry about figuring out how you would load your things. You also have control on when and where to stop in case you wanted to eat or go to the comfort room.
