I have spent my fair share of time on road trips. I have gone on them alone, but I have to say the most fun I’ve had is when I’m on the road with Moon, Scott and L. Road trips turn wild with these three. They love testing random food from stalls we meet on the road.
I’ve since sworn to only ever buy whole fruits on these runs. This way I don’t have to worry later about stomach upset. The most important aspect of a road trip is that you have to like the people you’re traveling with to stay in a good mood. If you’re unhappy, being out on the open road will get you back to happy quite quickly. Forgetting why you were unhappy happens like magic. So, if you’re not in a good place, I suggest getting in your car, and going on a short trip, with someone you really like or go alone. It pulls you back into a great head space, gives you time to think.
Music is such a big part of road trips, of my life in general. A few months ago on the road to tour Lake Victoria, in Western Kenya in East Africa. We ended up on this stretch of road that shows off this steep overview of the Rift Valley pictured below. We stopped to take pictures, and Moon kept humming Sugar by Maroon Five. It stuck in my head, and now every time I hear that song, I remember that trip.
I loved the memories we made during that trip, so Sugar has become this super special song for me.
Make time for road trips. They don’t have to be long distance, even two hours out of town, or the place where you live will do wonders for you. Hope you have a song you listen to when you’re in your car, on a fun trip. Make some memories.
