How to enjoy a cross-country road trip
Just recently we mastered a 7.000km (4.400 miles) road trip through the United States. Only the two of us and the endless plains of the American Highway. That means you are driving for hours without leaving the highway which route you can see for miles and miles. However: We are still happily married and even enjoyed that means of transportation. We got asked many times whether this distance in such a short time was not stressful. As we, on the other hand, have found it quite relaxing and enjoyable I decided to share my top proven tricks with you to make each longer road-trip to a fantastic journey.
Preparation is key: Everything before the trip
Phone holder for the car
When preparing our route, the phone holder was the first thing I bought as I wanted to make navigation more comfortable for us and did not want to have a mobile device in my hands during our vacation all the time. This few dollars have been one of the best investments and I can’t think of anything else. I recommend taking the holder with a magnet so it is not using up any space and it even has a beautiful design.
Download playlists for different moods and podcasts
Often we passed National Parks where the connection was either bad or nonexistent. Therefore it was a good idea to download certain playlists and podcasts beforehand. I recommend downloading playlists with all kinds of music as you will get bored of even your favorite bands after some time. Podcasts have also been an amazing way to stay entertained during our drive, and we had a great mix of news, economic and lifestyle podcasts. I loved to discuss the topics after listening. If you are into audiobooks, this could also be a possibility.
Depending on your type: Plan your trip ahead
A road-trip through America is not the healthiest thing ever. So it was a good idea to start with all kinds of cut fruits and vegetables. For the days after we prepared healthy bars and nut mixes. You don’t want to become ‘hangry’ in the middle of nowhere.
Packing light
We changed our hotel about every other day. Therefore we decided against a bulky suitcase and took bags instead. I can also highly recommend smaller compartments. I also love them for my backpacking trips. In this way, you don’t have to unpack and pack again and again but can easily reach what you need without going through all your things.

Make it easy for yourself: What helps during the trip
Stay hydrated
We started our trip with a huge canister of water in the trunk, so we did not have to buy smaller plastic bottles along the way. It was a great idea to fill up our old bottles with the water from the canisters. It is not only good for the environment, but it is also cheaper and prevents you from going to the supermarket each day. Especially for our longer hikes in the warmer areas this was great as the water in the bigger bottles stayed cooler in comparison.
Fuel up
We passed by some states with very few, and it happened that we have not seen a petrol station for ages. Therefore we fueled up everytime our gas was half empty. We also never entered the national parks without fueling up completely right before. It is just easier to enjoy the moment without worrying about annoying things like that. Make it easy for yourself.
Take pictures from the road
We are in the luxurious position to own a car with a rooftop window. Therefore I loved to take pictures while we have been driving. In case you have a camera check whether you can connect it via the app with your mobile phone. I was able to see right from my passenger seat what the camera on the roof was capturing. Also, I recommend putting the camera in a sports mode where it can capture lovely sharp photos despite the movement.
These are my top tips for a relaxed road-trip. They all have become handy for us on our latest trip. However, the most important thing for me is to go with people you love and enjoy talking to. A road trip can be the perfect opportunity to get together and talk about things there is no time for in everyday life.
Thanks for sharing the love and stopping by

Oh yeah. Road trip. Since childhood, I dream about it. I do not have a car yet, but I have already prepared a playlist of songs that I will listen to on this journey. Happy for you.
I want to share something different that may help those who have received the difficult news of being HSV positive. I understand how overwhelming it can be, as I have also tested positive for Herpes Virus Infection.
A couple of years ago, during my journey of research and exploration of treatment options, I came across remarkable testimonials about Nze Njoku Herbal Home. Many individuals shared their transformative experiences and how they found relief under dr utu guidance. Intrigued, I reached out to dr utu via email, and I was pleasantly surprised by how accessible he was. dr utu was very approachable and straightforward in our conversation. After our conversation, I decided to order the Herpes Herbal Cleanser.
When I received the herbal remedy, dr utu provided me with clear instructions on how to follow the treatment plan. I must admit, the taste was quite strong, but the results made it all worthwhile. For four solid weeks, I committed myself to this healing journey with discipline, focus, and daily prayers. I made it a point not to skip a single day.
Thanks to God Almighty, who used Dr Utu to manifest his work in my life, I am glad to share that I have tested negative for both hsv1 and hsv2 on two separate blood tests. Previously, I had tested positive through both blood tests and cultures, and I no longer experience any sores.
If you’re seeking guidance or support, I encourage you to reach out to dr utu at drutuherbalcure@gmail.com
Wishing you all strength and health on your paths to healing
One of my favorites to visit is Havasupai Indian Reservation. Also, Arches National Park. Both definitely should have made the list.

I have never believed in spiritual powers all my life because I grew up in a family surrounded by Atheists, I play the lottery for fun, my parents are wealthy people so I was born into a rich Family. I live in Las Vegas where gambling is on the rise. I play the casino and other games, including the lottery. Sometime last year I met someone who introduced me to a spiritual doc who specialized in helping one win gambles, the first sequence of numbers I was given won me over Two Million Dollars. This man is gifted with spiritual powers. contact him Via

I was drowning in debt, struggling every day to feed my family, and slowly losing all hope. As a farmer, life had become so difficult that I wondered if things would ever get better. I had tried everything, but nothing seemed to work until I came across Lord Bubuza online. I contacted him via Whats>>App: +13658085313, followed his lottery spell instructions, and he gave me specific numbers to play. Two days later, I received the unbelievable news that I had won $5,123,000! I could hardly believe my eyes. Tears of joy filled my eyes because I knew my life and my family’s future would never be the same again. Today, my debts are cleared, I have bought new lands, and my children can look forward to a brighter future. I am forever grateful to Lord Bubuza for giving me hope when I had almost given up. To me, he is a great seer, and I will always appreciate his spiritual guidance for revealing the lottery numbers to me with his spell.

Good Morning! My name is Justin Simporios from Canada. My daughter was unable to walk for several months after an accident that required her to have surgery. Because I haven’t won the Lotto I’ve been playing for so long, I haven’t been able to pay for the surgery. A friend online recommended Lord Meduza to me and he deserves a really, really big THANK YOU. This man chose to help me with a lottery spell and he gave me the precise numbers to play the Canada Lotto Max Lottery. After two weeks, I was proclaimed the winner of $80 MILLION DOLLARS. Now, my daughter will be able to walk once more after so much time as her surgery is now completely funded. My victory marks the biggest win for a single ticket in Lotto Max history in Canada. I still can’t believe it, Indeed there’s none like Lord Meduza. Although if you want your EX LOVER back, he can help you too so get in touch with him now.
