]]>Your best bet to avoid motion sickness on a long car ride is to sit in the front. It will be a much smoother ride, and you will be able to focus on the horizon, which will make your body less receptive to motion sickness symptoms.
When you read or watch videos during car rides, your eyes will try to remain focused on the content in front of them. However, the motion of the car constantly disturbs that focus and forces you to try harder to keep it. This will end up causing you to feel uncomfortable and nauseous.
Dehydration will amplify any of the motion sickness symptoms you might feel. To prevent this, make sure to drink plenty of water. Also, abstain from alcohol and too much caffeine.
You should always eat before the trip but make sure it is a light meal. Having a heavy meal with greasy food will upset your stomach and increase the likeliness of motion sickness.
If possible, ask the driver to make short but frequent breaks. This will allow you to get some fresh air and give your body some rest.

]]>Transportation costs are the biggest expense of road trips and you won’t be able to share them with others when you’re traveling on your own. The best way to save some money on gas is to visit a destination that’s not too far away from home because you’ll have to cover a shorter distance this way.
Using ride-sharing apps is also a great way to minimize your transportation costs when you’re road-tripping on your own. If there are any ride-sharing apps such as BlaBla Car available in your country, consider giving them a shot because they can help you cover your gas expenses.
If you’re not embarking on a road trip and plan to stay overnight, consider going camping instead of renting an Airbnb. Your accommodation costs will be much lower this way, and there’s nothing quite like falling asleep underneath the stars, especially during warmer spring and summer months.

]]>One great food for driving is fruit like apples, peaches, pears, or plums. These fruits can be held in one hand and eaten while using the other hand to steer (be careful though and keep your eyes on the road!). Just wash them before you leave and have a paper towel handy in case they’re juicy.
Nuts have lots of protein and healthy fat, which means nuts and nut butter are perfect for staying full and focused on the road. You can grab a bag of mixed nuts or a nutty granola bar at the grocery or if you’re hankering for some junkie gas station food then grab a bag of peanut butter pretzels.
If you want to feel that nice crunch and the satisfaction of going through a bag of chips while on the open road, try opting for a healthier version like veggie chips or sticks, kale, or seaweed snacks. These will give you the same satisfying eating experience without weighing you down by overloading carbs.

]]>Hot dogs are not the healthiest food regardless of where you buy them, but the ones found at gas stations may be particularly risky, considering how they are stored. Hot foods need to be kept at 135-140°F to avoid bacteria growth, and hot food storage at gas stations is often subpar.
In 2017, one person died and many more were hospitalized after eating contaminated nacho cheese sauce at a California gas station. While such terrible incidents are rare, it might be prudent to avoid nacho cheese at any gas station.
Slurpees and slushies may have been the highlight of your childhood road trips, but this moment of nostalgia comes at a cost. Other than the fact these drinks are filled to the brim with sugar, Slurpee machines are said to harbor mold and illness-causing bacteria.
Many gas stations offer perishable foods like sandwiches and wraps. The problem is that they are often either not cooled adequately or kept sufficiently hot, which can expose whoever eats them to bacteria and viruses.

]]>Chips, chocolate bars, and similar unhealthy foods are usually everyone’s go-to road trip snacks, but they shouldn’t be yours. Pack healthier alternatives for your road trip, and avoid buying junk food whenever you stop for gas.
If road trips are a part of your regular routine, you should consider investing in a portable mini-fridge. This will allow you to pack healthy snacks without fearing they’ll go bad quickly.
Getting fiber in your system during a road trip can be hard, but it’s essential. That’s why you should always make sure to bring some fruits and veggies along. Apples, bananas, celery sticks, and carrots are always a safe bet.
Drinking enough water is equally important as eating well, but it’s easy to forget that when you’re on the road. You should also keep in mind that soda, energy drinks, and coffee shouldn’t be used as a replacement for water.

]]>In addition to being more fun, traveling with other people is a great money saver. You’ll be able to split the bill for gas, food, and other expenses instead of paying for everything on your own.
Road trips are all about embracing the sense of adventure, so there’s no need to pay a fortune for accommodation. Use them to discover the magic of camping, and only look for alternative types of logging if the weather is bad.
Road trips often tend to be pretty spontaneous, but having no plan isn’t always so great for your budget. Check if your insurance covers roadside emergencies that might occur, do your research to find the cheapest gas prices, and have a travel plan so you wouldn’t waste time and gas going to pointless locations.
You’ll spend a fortune on food if you’re eating out all the time. Pack your own snacks so you wouldn’t have to buy overpriced ones at gas stations, and look for affordable dining experiences with a local feel whenever you can’t prepare your own meals.

]]>Strategically plan your breaks before embarking on a road trip, and make sure you’re never behind the wheel for more than two-three hours at a time.
Solo road trips can be fun, but traveling with other people is more practical because you’ll manage to stay properly rested by sharing driving duties.
Even if you want to have an epic outfit in your travel photos, wearing comfy clothes and shoes while driving is highly recommended, and you can easily change once you make a stop.
Overnight road trips are incomplete without blankets and pillows. Even when you’re not sleeping, you can use them for extra cushioning or maintain warmth.
Your car will be your second home during your road trip, and that’s why you should clean it up properly and create an environment you’re going to enjoy before hitting the road.

]]>If you’re embarking on a long road trip, you should switch driving responsibilities, so it’s best to check in with your friends to see who wants to help out.
Travel expenses are usually divided equally between road trip buddies, and this should be very clear before you embark on a trip.
Have you ever embarked on a road trip, only to realize you’re missing something very important? We’ve all been there, and that’s why it’s best if each of you had their own packing list.
You should know exactly when your trip starts and when it ends before hitting the road. Even if some travelers have a lot of free time on their hands, others may have responsibilities they want to get back to.
Accommodation plans should be made before you hit the road. If you’re camping, figure out how many tents you need and who’s bringing them. If you’re renting a room or an apartment, find accommodation that works for everyone beforehand.

]]>If you’re embarking on a long road trip with a single person by your side, it should be someone who’s a reliable driver. Traveling with non-drivers is not a problem in case of shorter trips with a group of friends, but it always comes in handy if at least two of you can drive.
You should always travel with people who are ready to share the expenses without constantly being reminded of it. Discussing money with friends can be tricky, so try to avoid travel companions who aren’t ready to put their money where their mouth is.
Road trips can turn into a total nightmare when you hit the road with people with a different travel style. In order to avoid constant arguments, discuss this with your friends beforehand, and have clear plans and expectations for your trip together.
