Maybe you and your partner have been together for decades. Or it’s early in the days of road-tripping as a couple. Either way, it never hurts to prepare for your extended driving time in such close, inescapable quarters. Road trips should be fun, but worrying about things to talk about on a road trip can add stress and leave those awkward silences you may not find comfortable.
How Do You Make a Couple Road Trip Fun?
Regardless of where you’re going, how far you have to travel, or how long you’ve been a couple, there are always ways to make your time together more fun. Sure, traveling can be stressful between spending so much time together, traffic jams, and rising prices on everything. But instead of letting the little things get in the way of having a great time, plan ahead to make the most of your trip and survive with your couplehood intact.
Play games. Entertain each other with travel games like the alphabet or license plate game, or ask each other couples’ road trip questions. Avoid getting hangry. Pack plenty of snacks and drinks to avoid getting irritable and arguing with each other.Listen to music, audiobooks, or podcasts. Before leaving, create a playlist of songs or download books or podcasts that fit your likes and personalities. Do your research. Resist planning out every detail, but definitely take time to learn the basic route you’ll take on your trip as well as things to do and places to eat while you’re away. Be spontaneous in a prepared way.Rest regularly. Long drives can take a toll on the mind and body. Stop as frequently as you need to for bathroom breaks and to stretch your legs. Embrace the silence. It’s nice to have things to talk about, but forcing the conversation can make it feel uncomfortable. Expect and accept lulls in the conversation, especially on longer trips. Check out the scenery or sing along to the radio to fill the silence.Be prepared. The best way to have loads of fun is to control the things you can control and go with the flow for the rest. Have your travel documents, know where you’re going, set a budget, expect the unexpected.
