Thanks to traveldudes (@traveldudes) for the great tips and destination ideas.
Have you ever thought of enjoying a longer trip… maybe in Australia… for at least 2 months? Then you might want to buy a car for that time! It will be cheaper than renting one as you can sell it after your trip again. And, you also won’t have any rental rules to look after.
With your own car, you will be able to hit the dirt roads in Australia, which is a big plus to explore many of the sights.
