Road trips are fun. Cruising through rocky streets, smooth lanes, tree-laden roads, with the eternally present winds slapping across our faces, it’s a pleasurable mix, whether you travel by car or a bike. However, there’s one factor that is unmissable in any kind of travel (road, air, or rail): Food! Somehow, what we eat kind of becomes extremely important during our travels, assuming one of the top spots for our social media reels and shorts.
How much we explore and how much we can rest probably take up the next two places in vacation experiences.
