Long trips fly by with these exciting titles from Audible
As clichéd as it may sound, road trips really are about the journey, not the destination. Of course, it’s up to you to make them enjoyable. Chances are you’ve been on a road trip filled with hours of thumb twiddling, staring aimlessly out the window and counting down the road signs – 300km to your destination, 250km, 200km…
Or maybe you remember them differently: hours-long arguments over who called whom this name or that. And then there are road trips consumed by whatever repetitive music is coming out of the speakers, worrying about whether you have enough data to load the next playlist.
At Audible, we want to let you in on a secret: there’s a better way to road trip. There’s a way to enjoy the scenery around you, the beautiful sloping hills and setting sun, without giving into boredom or bickering. It’s all about finding the right – audio titles that appeal to everyone in the car.
Whether you’re traveling with friends or family, listening together helps your imagination roam free -and might even help soothe the most impatient of road trippers. With tons of audiobooks, available, there’s something everyone in the car can enjoy — and with the ability to download and play this content offline, you don’t have to worry about data overages.
With March break fast approaching, check out the following six titles to bring along on your next great road trip!
