Plus: MTV's Real World Revival and Apple's Most Promising Shows | |  | | | | | | | All week long, we're sharing insights and intel about the American road trip, from essential tools to optimize your drive, to poetic ruminations on the most uniquely American tourist destination in the country. We're calling it—wait for it—Road Trip Week.
Contributing writer AnnaMarie Houlis, on her finest road trip memory: "Wet underwear and bleach-stained bras that weren't our own trickled from the ceiling fan over our bunk bed. We were in a room in some stranger's apartment in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, half-hypnotized by What the Health on Netflix, and deep into the depths of Skyscanner. My friend Savannah had been robbed earlier in the night, so we were searching flights to anywhere out of the dark, damp skies of that concrete jungle. The Thai beaches were beckoning, promising unadulterated, sun-swathed islands to lift our spirits. And at some point during Kip Anderson's journey through processed meat, a DJ slid into Savannah's DMs promising us a journey of our own: Lost in Paradise, a music festival on some secluded beach. If I covered it and Savannah, a photographer, shot it, we were assured free entry. That was it: we had only 560 miles and 48 hours between us and paradise. So we booked flights to Krabi, Thailand, leaving in t-minus six hours. We'd road trip to Koh Phagnan island across the country from there. Easy."
Don't drive long distance without these snacks, which include Korean-style beef jerky and kettle-cooked pork rinds.
