As we drive along Highway 1 in California, we see the blue sky, the sea, the sun, and the sand; as we circle up the mountain passes in the fjords of Norway, the lush forests around us conceal the turquoise blue fjords.
We travelled through the lakes and mountains of New Zealand's South Island, experiencing the people and landscapes of Middle Earth. Self-driving travel has a charm that cannot be experienced through public transportation.
More and more travellers are considering renting a car for self-drive at their destination when they travel. In countries where public transportation is relatively underdeveloped, such as the United States, Australia, and Iceland, renting a car and driving yourself is indeed the most convenient form of transportation.
Even in countries like Germany and Norway, where we can complete our travels by train or bus, we can rent a car to free ourselves from schedules and make it easier to experience local culture and delve into off-the-beaten-path beauty.
For the overseas self-driving traveller, California Highway 1 is the "Pilgrimage Road"! National Geographic has called it a "must-see" for driving enthusiasts, and numerous magazines and publications have listed it as a classic driving route in the United States. Whether it's driving along the coast, enjoying the Americana in a small town, or splashing out shopping in a big city, the route is a must-do. If you're interested in driving abroad, don't miss this place!
In Mallorca, Spain, a winding highway twists and turns like a snake in an unbelievable arc between narrow cliffs, forming an epic 360-degree curve known as the Calobra Road. Built on a rocky terrain, the asphalt and gravel road is sharp and steep.
The whole road was constructed to avoid the use of tunnels and has an average gradient of 7%. If you like excitement, our advice is to ride a bicycle.
The Rimrock Trail is a scenic route through the Colorado National Conservation Area. The rugged, bold, wild, and mysterious western scenery surrounding the way makes you want to gallop your horse.
The Civilian Resource Conservation Corps carved the trail out of the rocky landscape in 1933, allowing us to now enjoy the magnificent red rock canyon scenery on this one-hour drive. We can taste the pine and juniper trees that dot both ends of the road, and we can pay homage to the golden eagles that soar through the sky and the earth.
New Zealand can also be our highest priority preferred travel destination, one of the more important considerations is the small population of New Zealand, especially the South Island of New Zealand.
Many cities are mostly small towns in size, and with low population density, driving on the road, you will rarely encounter intersecting cars, so to speak, the safety factor is high.
Of course, no one would rush to travel for safety. New Zealand is a country with extremely beautiful scenery, especially the South Island, where the pristine natural landscape is well maintained.
Snowy mountains, lupine sea, fantastic towns, beautiful lakes, as well as blue-eyed little penguins, dolphins, and so on, the beauty is overwhelming.
What's more, the roads in this country are in exceptionally good condition, and parking is convenient, making it perfect for self-driving.
