I've spent more than 400 hours on road trips across the US. Here are 8 things I always pack for a long-haul drive.
Business Insider's reporter has been on more than a dozen road trips. From trash bags to headphones, these are her essentials for a smooth ride.
Joey Hadden, a reporter for Business Insider, has spent over 400 hours on road trips across 31 states in the US. She has shared her essential packing list for a smooth and enjoyable long-haul drive. Hadden is prone to motion sickness and always carries Dramamine to combat it. She also brings her own source of caffeine, Mio Energy, to keep her alert during the trip without relying on costly coffee stops.
Hadden downloads playlists and podcasts to entertain herself while driving, as she may lose cell service while on the road. She wears comfy shoes, such as Wally shoes or Crocs, to ensure her mood remains upbeat during the journey. A clean car is important for Hadden, so she packs a small trash can or bag to keep the interior tidy and wipes to handle any messes. Lastly, she never forgets a camera to capture stunning American landscapes during her road trips.
