Beautiful road on a volcanic landscape in Iceland.

Road Trips

Fueled by convenience store snacks and a Kerouacian dream of driving across state lines and international borders, road trippers take to the freeways, thoroughfares, and dusty back streets of the world searching for the wind-in-your-hair kind of freedom. Maybe it's on a coastal drive along the shore of South Australia, between red-rock formations in the American West, or through white-capped mountains in the Canadian Rockies. Wherever the road takes you, there's nothing quite like a big drive to quench a thirst for travel. Now buckle in, cue up an audiobook, and hit the road with Travel + Leisure.
