I’ve wanted to write about this for ages! Life gets so busy, no time to read. But found a trick! I make a book wishlist for someday. When planning a road trip, I pack audiobooks instead. It’s amazing! I listen and ‘read’ while traveling. We chat about the book, making the trip lively. Join me as I share the greatest travel tips of all for your future road trips.

If you’re heading to a new place with a different language and culture, audiobooks can be your secret weapon:
Entertainment on the Go: Audiobooks transform long drives into captivating journeys. They engage your mind, making the miles fly by. Instead of just music or conversation, learn a new language. This is great family fun.
Learn the Language: Grab audiobooks in the local language to pick up useful phrases. It’ll make chatting with locals easier and more fun.
Dive into Culture: A road trip is the most opportune time to delve into topics you’ve always wanted to explore. Listen to audiobooks about local history and traditions. It’ll add depth to your sightseeing and help you understand the place better. Also, I find that knowing the norms beforehand helps to blend in and respect the local customs.
Find Your Way: Get audiobooks with navigation guidance in the local language. It’s a game-changer for understanding signs and directions. For example “Greater Than a Tourist – Brosov Romania: 50 Travel Tips from a Local”. Alexandra, a local in Romania, shares fabulous tips, told by Amy. This book is great for a road trip to Romania and is only 29 minutes long. When the audio is so short, you can play around with different genres and in doing so keep the road trip interesting and fun.
With a subscription, you gain access to an extensive library. Genres galore—mystery, romance, history, self-help, you name it. There’s something for everyone’s taste.

Travel Tip(s)
Listen to books by local authors or set in your destination. It’ll give you a fresh take on the place you’re exploring.
On our family road trips, nothing’s better than an audiobook about the food we’ll eat where we’re going. It gets us talking about who eats what, and persuading each other to try new foods. I love sharing tips from my favorite “eat-like-a-local” series! I hope you get to try some of them too!
The “Eat Like a Local” audiobooks spill all about traditional food, sharing insider tips.
While many guides tell you how tourists eat, this series is different. It’s from someone who’s lived there, offering a real taste of the city’s cuisine. No exact addresses here, but loads of excitement and local insights you won’t find in typical guides.
Furthermore, most of the authors also share some key tourism pointers that’s not usually part of a foodie guide. Thus getting more value for your buck.
Eat like a local. Dive into the culture through food. The audiobooks help you slow down, savor, and understand the flavors and stories behind each dish.
Suggested Read: Seen our piece on Slow Travel? If you’re into stepping away from the daily hustle, it’s definitely worth a look.
Get ready to travel tastefully after listening to any one of the Eat Like A Local audiobooks!
