Dealing With a Long Vacation Car Ride (for Teens)
Traveling can be dragged out and boring, especially if you're stuck in a car for a long period of time. As a teen, paying attention to the long stretches of the highway can be difficult. Here are a few tips to make your road trip more enjoyable:
- Bring activities to keep your hands and mind busy, such as coloring books, travel versions of favorite board games, and books or magazines
- Invest in audiobooks or podcasts that will give you something interesting to listen to
- Create a road trip playlist of some of your favorite music
- Take frequent breaks. Not only will this help you avoid getting carsick, but it can give you a chance to stretch and get some fresh air
- Make the most out of the ride by playing car games, such as I Spy or Twenty Questions
- If you’re feeling particularly adventurous, consider a surprise destination!
A long car ride doesn’t have to spell disaster. With the right preparation and attitude, you can make the most of your vacation and have an enjoyable ride.
