10 ways to enjoy a long journey

Are you going on a long trip? Pack one bag specifically for the car. Put things in it that will make your car trip more enjoyable. Remember all your fellow travelers!

The long journey, although leading to the desired destination, can be very tiring. A few or even a dozen or so hours spent without movement do not affect well-being. It gets worse when an argument breaks out between passengers. Then the joint road becomes even more difficult. Fortunately, you can enjoy all this time. The journey will not only be more enjoyable, but it will also seem shorter. Learn about 10 ways to make your time in the car more enjoyable.  

10 ways to make a long trip 

When planning your stay in the car, consider how many people will be in it and how old they will be. Another question is of great importance - will you be a driver or a passenger. It depends on what form of entertainment and pleasure you choose for yourself. You won't be reading a book while driving, but listening to an audiobook makes sense. See what ideas we have to make your (and fellow travelers') long journey enjoyable.

1. Audiobooks 

Ever since audiobooks were invented, long-distance travel is no longer so scary. Even the driver can listen to an interesting book! If you are traveling in a company of several people, choose a name that everyone can like. Podcasts are extremely popular these days. This is a form of transmission that resembles a radio broadcast, usually consisting of several episodes. Listening can provoke you to talk and exchange opinions, which will further facilitate the journey together. The time spent in the car can also be used to learn, for example, a foreign language. Choose only an audiobook with a suitable course.

2. Book 

If you don't have to drive and focus on the road, be sure to take a book with you. This is a guarantee of detachment from reality even for a few hours. It's a good idea to pack an e-reader in your suitcase. So you save space in your luggage, despite the fact that you even have several items on hand. Take with you as much as you want! Moreover, the e-book can be bought and downloaded via the Internet at any time. When choosing a reader, remember that the equipment must take care of your eyes. Some models have screens that do not emit light to tire the eyes, but the high resolution and adjustable backlight ensure comfortable reading in all conditions. Check out the bestseller list.

3. Music 

For many people, driving a car is associated with listening to music. Indeed, your favorite sounds from the speakers can make every journey more enjoyable. There are even CDs titled "Best Car Music"! This is a collection of several dozen works by various artists. So there is a good chance that all passengers will like the disc. Put your CD in the player, turn the speakers up to max and sing out loud! Great entertainment and a pleasant journey are guaranteed. You will also find playlists to listen to in the car in the AvtoTachki Go app.

4, movie 

If you want to squeeze in a few hours on a long trip, take a tablet with a few videos with you. Take care in advance that such entertainment does not distract the driver who will not look at the screen! If you get the green light, you can be sure that a well-chosen film will make everyone's time enjoyable. After the screening, you will have the opportunity to exchange views on the production, which will make the trip even more attractive. For convenience, purchase a dedicated tablet holder that attaches to the air vent on the cab. This way everyone will have easy access to the movie.

5. Entertainment for children 

Anyone who has ever traveled with children knows how difficult it is. A long car ride can quickly tire the youngest passengers, who are on the verge of tears and fights. Therefore, it is necessary to take care of appropriate entertainment adapted to the age of the children. Q&A cards work great in the car. This is a good offer for teens and teens, but anyone can join in on the fun. The youngest children will surely enjoy the water coloring. A special felt-tip pen filled with water reveals new colors without coloring anything. When the painting dries, the color will disappear and you can start painting again. It's also a good idea to take some items. Books with moving parts that can keep kids busy for a long time are a hit.

6. Snacks 

The old truth says that when a person is hungry, he gets angry. Better not to check, especially on the go! So take a bag of snacks. Delicious little things will make even the longest car trip a little more pleasant. To conveniently pack something to eat, a lunch box with compartments will come in handy. In one box, you can put, for example, vegetables and fruits, cut into small pieces, and dried fruits, without fear that everything will mix up. Remember that healthy doesn't have to mean tasteless! On the other hand. Chocolate covered almonds are an example of healthy and tasty sweets. They will definitely defuse any tense atmosphere and keep a good mood until the end of the journey. Just take the right amount so that no one runs out!

7. Coffee 

Having a cup of coffee and talking is definitely more fun, so if you like this aromatic drink, be sure to take it with you on a long journey. It will make your time more enjoyable and energize you even during long hours of driving. Instead of buying coffee at the train station, prepare it ahead of time at home. Use an airtight thermos that will maintain the desired temperature for a long time. Thanks to him, you will treat all your fellow travelers with delicious and hot coffee. And if, apart from you, no one is a fan of this, take a special thermos with you in the form of a convenient thermo mug with a volume of no more than 400 ml. Its big advantage is the presence of a strainer for brewing, which will allow you to prepare a crystal clear infusion.

8. Travel pillow 

Convenience above all! Always follow this rule when you go on a long journey. A special pillow with an ergonomic croissant shape will unload the neck and provide soft support for the head. Filling with polystyrene balls guarantees an optimal level of comfort - the pillow adapts slightly to the shape of the body, but at the same time you will not "fall through" into it. This way, you can take a nap while driving (unless you're a driver, of course!) without the risk of neck pain.

9. Games 

Party games are a way to get bored on a long, long journey. There are enough classic cards to spend even a few hours pleasantly playing the popular war, master or macau. If you want to have a laugh, a card game where you have to complete fun tasks is a great offer. Remember that all of them must be possible and safe to perform while driving.

10. Breaks while driving 

Breaks in driving are very important on a long journey. It is recommended to do them every 2 hours. This is especially important for the driver, but all passengers will appreciate even a short stop, because driving in one position for many hours can cause discomfort. Choose safe and fun places to stay. It's great if they are designed in such a way that travelers can have a good rest. If you are traveling with children, look for a parking lot with a playground. While the little ones unload on the swing, adults will sit on the bench at the table to enjoy the meal and chat. However, you should not sit too long, because in a moment you will be doing it again in the car, but to stretch your legs, for example, on a short walk.

Do you have a long way to go? By now, you probably know that it doesn't have to be difficult at all! Plan it carefully so that you can enjoy your time in the car and get to your destination quickly.
