We've put together some Holiday Season Roadie tips to help you savor the journey as much as the final destination. **Holiday Season Roadie tips:** - Take your time, enjoy cafe's and rest stops enroute to stay refreshed   - When its safe to do so, pull over and let other motorists pass - Try and take long road trips between destinations at non peak times - Every time you fuel up wash your windscreen to keep your vision clear - Get some good driving sunglasses - there is nothing worse than sun-strike - Do not trust traffic lights, make your own judgement about when its safe to go - people are impatient at this time of year and are not afraid to run a red light!   ![DSC07943](https://blog.traillite.co.nz/hs-fs/hubfs/DSC07943.jpg?width=400&height=267&name=DSC07943.jpg) ![TrailLite-Dec-2021-149a](https://blog.traillite.co.nz/hs-fs/hubfs/TrailLite-Dec-2021-149a.jpg?width=400&height=267&name=TrailLite-Dec-2021-149a.jpg)   Lastly, upon reaching your destination, take a moment to unwind, kick back, and indulge in a much-deserved getaway. **Try some of these tips to make the destination just that little bit better:** - Why not try a great kiwi summer recipe thanks to [NZ Motorhomes, Caravans & Destinations](https://nzmcd.co.nz/food/)where you'll find heaps of great options for cooking and baking. - Walk barefoot along the beach, lake or grass - there is something relaxing about being barefoot and connected to the earth. - Read a book or magazine - our pick this summer is the [NZ Today Walk & Cycle Trails 2024](https://rnrpublishing.co.nz/product/2024-nztoday-walk-cycle-trails-collectors-edition/) which features over 40 stunning walks and trails to enjoy across New Zealand, available in print or digital versions. - Share your photos, holiday tips or destinations on our [TrailLite Facebook page](http://www.facebook.co.nz/TrailLiteNZ).
